Hello, and again, welcome to Bit Depth. I'm Santiago Ramones. I have an album called Hypothetical. Every episode, you will hear me break down every element in the next track on the album until I've run out of tracks.

“Without Us” is the tenth track on Hypothetical. I wrote it when I was in high school and it’s about how school sucks. It also features backing vocals from seph(ra). Let’s dive into all the sounds on this track.

“Late” is the ninth track on Hypothetical. This song is an apology, in a variety of ways. I’m really proud of it, as a songwriter. This podcast explains how it was made.

The Lunar Laugh was a power pop band based in Oklahoma City. Their final album, In The Black, was released on November 3rd, 2023. The album features Jared Lekites (guitar, vocals), Connor Anderson (guitar, vocals), Campbell Young (guitar, vocals), Triston Lightner (bass, vocals), and Levi Sherman (drums, vocals). On this podcast, we heard from Jared, Connor, Campbell, and Levi. We talked about the events preceding and surrounding the album's creation, each individual track and its production, and a quick retrospective on the history of the band.

I'm sad to say goodbye to this band, but they left us with a great album, which you should listen to.
