    OVERHEAD, THE ALBATROSS IN CONVERSATION

    A departure from the usual format this week in celebration of I Leave You This, the new album from NO ENCORE favourites Overhead, The Albatross. 


    Vinny Casey, Luke Daly, and David Prendergast join Dave and Adam in-studio to discuss their superb sophomore record and the many ups and downs of the OTA story so far, from personnel changes to onstage disasters to the seeming end of the road for the band, to the glorious rebirth and exciting new direction that followed, and the life experiences that paved the way.


    You can purchase a copy of I Leave You This - including a very tasty-looking vinyl pre-order - at the OTA Bandcamp page here, stream the album visualizer here, and follow the guys on Instagram here.


    As for our own bonus content, there's a new Album Club landing this Sunday as Adam ups his Confidence Man game, and Film Club with Davey and Mikey returns the following Sunday with T2 Trainspotting.

    TOP 5 CONCEPT ALBUMS ft. Julie Hough

    It's a long one this week, which feels fitting given the ambitious and expansive theme - why yes, the humble concept album finally falls beneath the NO ENCORE microscope.


    Julie Hough returns to the studio with five such records for company, and some insight into her latest musical project - PostLast. 


    As ever, there's plenty of news and other such things to discuss, so let's do it to it before it does it to us... 


    ACT ONE: Adam and Dave survive respective individual disasters and plug various wares accordingly. 


    ACT TWO (16:20): Julie explains why she took on yet another new endeavour - check out PostLast's debut EP Pull Me Into The Open Sea at your earliest convenience. 


    ACT THREE (27:30): A busy news section takes in a very early 2000s scrap, an x-rated problem with the Wicked movie, the record collection of a serial killer, slights against Rick Rubin, and Noel Gallagher's latest innovation. 


    ACT FOUR (1:04:19): Top 5 Concept Albums

    TOP 5 STATE OF THE NATION* ADDRESSES ft. Mark Conroy

    *And the nation in question is the good 'ol US of A. 


    As you've no doubt noticed by now, Donald John Trump is the President-elect of the United States of America. Cast aside the numerous valid and alarming reasons for this scenario not to come to pass, for it is indeed a reality once again. 


    If you're feeling uneasy, well, you're not alone. And so NO ENCORE has no real choice but to get a bit political this week as the returning Mark Conroy takes us through his hand-picked audio that best sums up the current state of Stateside affairs right now. 


    There's also a news section that thankfully is considerably less political, and some major personal updates, too. Enjoy? 


    ACT ONE: Dave went to see Max Richter in concert, then later wound up in hospital. The two events are unconnected, he thinks. Meanwhile, Adam joins the fourth estate!


    ACT TWO (25:25): A busy news section features the passing of legendary producer and notable quotable Quincy Jones, Robert Smith's commitment to the goth lifestyle, Charli XCX's literary triumph, Olivia Rodrigo's dating advice, the rise of entertainment-focused 'cigfluencers', and awkward onstage happenings involving Morrissey and Thom Yorke. 


    ACT THREE (1:02:20): Top 5 State of the Nation Addresses.

    Before The ENCORE #26 | Toby Hatchett

    This month on Before The ENCORE, Sonic Architect Adam is joined by Toby Hatchett of Hatchett Sound – a designer of bespoke soundsystems featured across the island of Ireland. For those of you unfamiliar, you have Toby to thank for the beautifully handcrafted hi-fi soundsystems in The Big Romance, Fidelity Bar & Studio, Connolly's of Leap, Lost Lane, Hang Dai and Allta to name a few.


    Toby drops into Adam's studio on the way back to his West Cork workshop from Dublin to discuss his love for audio and creating that special experience for people, his ventures across venues to hi-fi "listening bars", to being tasked with designing an entire bar himself in his most recent output. If you're an audiophile or someone interested in one of the more abstract areas of the industry, this is the episode for you.


    *If you'd like to get this episode and all NO ENCORE episodes a full 24 hours earlier and ad-free, check us out over on Patreon here.*

    TOP 5 NONSENSE SONGS ft. Max Zanga

    Autumnal gloom has set in and the only way is down after Zara Hedderman's all-timer of a Top 5 on the previous episode, right? 


    WRONG! Despite the astounding heights of that aforementioned T5, we're keeping the energy supercharged with the returning Max Zanga, present in-studio as a representative of mysterious rising solo talent Filmore!, who definitely is a different person than Max, honest. 


    The new Filmore! EP is called Idle Death Gamble and it's really very good indeed, and so we talk about that and the overall project at large. 


    Elsewhere, we've got a truly nonsensical Top 5, and a grab-bag of news to get through...


    And don't forget to hit up patreon.com/noencore, we've got a new Film Club episode dropping this Sunday, all about sweaty and problematic 1993 thriller Falling Down.


    ACT ONE: The preamble in which we ramble. 


    ACT TWO: Filmore! in conversation. Kinda. 


    ACT THREE (31:54): News! Robert Smith bashes Oasis, Taylor Swiftonomics keeps on churning out the goods, Donald Trump reveals his megamix, Atomic Kitten are still a thing, and some words for the late, great Ka. 


    ACT FOUR (1:04:32): Top 5 Nonsense Songs.
