Welcome to the 4th episode of Free Form Freakout’s new weekly Stay-at-Home Edition. I hope you have all been staying healthy out there and doing the best that you can to get by through these very strange times that we’re all going through in one way or another. This installment continues with mostly a bunch of newer music that has arrived on the front steps of FFF HQ over the past few weeks, but once again I grabbed a few other titles that I wanted to revisit on this show. If you’re curious what else has been in rotation throughout the week while I’ve been hunkered down in the bunker working from home, you can follow along to the almost daily story posts on Instagram. Been doing a lot of deep dives into specific artist and label catalogs of late. I damn near made it through Bertoia’s whole Somambient boxset in one sitting!! I should also note that during the last mic break in this episode I incorrectly cited Kuupuu as being a French artist, then within a few sentences mentioned her as Finnish, which is the correct information. After a long day, I was getting my Populi’s and my Kuupuu’s mixed up. Anyways, hope you enjoy this one. Feel free to get in touch if you have any comments or questions.
