You may know Jay Malinonwski from the 2000s reggae-rock band Bedouin Soundclash. When that band took a hiatus, Jay took some time off. He started researching his family's past. This work led to his solo debut double-length nautical concept album “Martel.”
When I hung out with Jay Malinowski at a Gastown coffeehouse, he had been holed up for weeks writing his book, “Skulls & Bones” (an illustrated novel and companion piece to Martel). He was definitely not prepared for a Scott Wood interview, which made this chat hilarious. Listen to this episode. It's one of my recent favorites.
