James Acaster here, comedian and music fan, and in 2017, I had a breakdown.

I dealt with that breakdown by buying as much music from 2016 as I possibly could.

As a result, I now own over 700 albums that came out in 2016 and I'm

convinced it's the greatest year for music of all time. But it's not enough me being convinced.

I also want to convince each and every single one of you, plus a guest every week. I'm going to send

them an album in advance. They're going to come on the podcast. We're going to talk about that album.

This week, my guest is Tucson Douglas,

and we're going to talk about the album Four Thing by Four Thing.

I'm looking places.

Is it there?

Four Thing is the project of Zach Phillips, who used to run a record label called OSR tapes.

The label is now defunct, but he's still going strong.

He's got a new label called Leloy, which started this year in 2021.

And he was also a paralegal lawyer on the side this guy is pretty busy does a lot

of stuff osr tapes one of my favorite labels that i discovered during this whole 2016 project

really throwing themselves into being as creative as possible as outlandish as they can and letting

people off the leash and this album is no exception.

So Zach Phillips' idea, it's all based around the number four in a way.

The word came through her eyes like a crashing gate.

Look at the time that goes faster when you're awake.

There are four singers, singing lyrics written by four separate lyricists
