Today’s guest is Siddhu Anandalingam of the band Semaphore. Siddhu is a multi-instrumentalist, singer, songwriter and self-recorder. On previous Semaphore projects, He wrote, performed and recorded all the material himself. But on their latest EP, “Leave With The Season” released earlier this year, he brought in the rest of his live band, including previous Lamniformes Radio guest Emmet Ceglia, to contribute to the creative process. The result is a five song collection that incorporates shoegaze, emo, and post-hardcore to address a period of loneliness and dissatisfaction in his life.
In this episode, we went track by track through the EP to spool out the band’s inspirations and intentions. We also talked about his early influences growing up in Bethesda, Maryland and Semaphore’s incredibly ambitious live cover of The Dillinger Escape Plan’s “Miss Machine.”
