Episode 6 - Sheep, Dog & Wolf
Dedee chats to Daniel McBride from Sheep, Dog & Wolf about his album Two-Minds, released on Aphrodite in April 2021. Two-Minds is in his words; “a document of a dark time in a kind of positive way.”
They talk about the album, the unexpected delays in releasing it, and the stories behind the music videos. Daniel talks about his experience living with anxiety, depression, and chronic sinusitis which left him with no sense of smell for several years. We also reflect on a gig memory from between lockdowns, a memorial gig for his friend Reuben Winter.
This interview was recorded on December 1, 2021
