Q&A with EACH OTHER + goodbye, thank you SPECTRAL MIGRATION

Two thirds of Each Other in studio for Jordan Robson Cramer's last SPECTRAL MIGRATION (MTL Sessions) show

Each Other played two short sets on Jordan Robson Cramer’s last show (February 28, 2012) of his Montreal Sessions radio residency, SPECTRAL MIGRATION. Check out the archives to have a listen to their tangled/intricate prog pop tunes and sweetly boyish harmonies. The rest of the SPECTRAL MIGRATION can be found there, including Beaver Sheppard‘s in-studio performance from last week (February 21, 2012). Thanks to Jordan for hosting such a great month of shows!

With a host named Johnny Suck and a tagline that reads “heavy-ass rock, bad-ass metal, and kick-ass hardcore” you can be sure to expect some serious heaviosity on the early morning airwaves. The first show is tonight and Johnny says that he’ll be spinning new cuts from the likes of Orange Goblin, Corrosion of Conformity, and Earth albums. Show archives will be available right here, will replace The 27th Hour‘s usual spot and will alternate weeks with Jet Set Diskotek.
