Podcast Episode 07 - Kameron Klamtown

In this episode, recorded at Space N Faders, we chat with Kameron, our banjo player, covering two unique tracks on the upcoming Folk Hogan album.

Topics Covered:

1. "Blood From a Stone"
   • This song carries a classic Folk Hogan Irish vibe.
   • Kameron discusses the original riff, sourced from Moses’s phone recording.
   • Notably, it's one of the few songs with a strong chorus on the new album.
   • Big stretches on the banjo make this one challenging but rewarding to play.
   • We listen to the bridge section of "Blood From a Stone."
   • Fun fact: Moses doesn’t get mad often, but this song’s bridge section brings out the intensity!
2. "All Good Things Die in San Diego"
   • This song is the second-to-last track on the album.
   • We share a cell phone recording from the studio where we first learned the song.
   • A living wake for Larry the Legend is the inspiration, and you can watch the tribute concert here:

   • The drums in this song are powerful, setting an incredible foundation.
   • Moses shares his thoughts on cutting lyrics about his grandma, shaping the song’s final form.
   • Key lyrics include “With a full moon rising” and “I don’t want to live forever, without you.”
   • Kameron explains how we crafted the backup vocals and intense ending.
   • Ghostly banjo sounds give the song an ethereal opening, adding a unique texture.
