S5 Ep4: Toledo

My Favourite Elliott Smith Song

Our guests today are Dan Alvarez and Jordan Dunn-Pilz, who together make up the band Toledo.
The pair have been making music together since they were 11 years old, growing up in Newburyport in Massachusetts After parting ways for college, Dan and Jordan are now reunited and living in Brooklyn, New York, and are steadily building a big following, with their debut coming out in September this year.
For this episode, Dan and Jordan took a slightly different route, and instead of picking one track, we compare two well known recordings of the same song.
It was a lot of fun chatting to Dan and Jordan - you really get a sense of their friendship and chemistry as a double act - and I hope you enjoy listening to this conversation.
