FFFoxy Podcast #156 with Chris Berry of Soft Abuse / Fruits & Flowers

On this installment of the podcast, Chris Berry of Soft Abuse Records joined us in the KMSU studios in Mankato for what has been an annual tradition going on a decade now. Our usual meet-up time got pushed back several months due to home relocations and other scheduling conflicts, but it’s always a treat to have Chris come down armed with his box, or in this case bags, of LP surprises. This time around he came out swinging with some Christian concrète, Psychedelic sitar, and Eveleth experimentation. Plus, he held out until the end to unveil brand new Pumice and Matthew De Gennaro tracks due out on Soft Abuse in the coming months. These shows are always so much fun to do, and the music selections are impeccable from start to finish. Hope you enjoy! Feel free to get in touch if you have any questions or comments. As always, thanks for looking and listening.
