Alex: Hello and welcome back to Gus by Gus. I'm Alex.

Rose: And I'm Rose. And we're listening to Cult of Bellingham by Gus Hommes

[song excerpt plays]

Alex: I remember calling you up…

Rose: it was like 3am, I was in Osaka, you were in Atlanta

Alex: and like, shouting the lyrics to the chorus down the phone.

Rose:  I hung up immediately.

Alex: I called back

Rose: I hung up again

Alex: But the fifth time, I think maybe you dropped your phone before you could hang up and maybe heard a bit of the chorus?

Rose: god, that was irritating. But... tbh, I think it’s the best way to experience the song for the first time.

Alex: You just have to get a really good friend to replicate that

Rose: one you’ll forgive for waking you up at 3am

[Indistinct digital distortion]

Alex: This song took him less time to write than it did to record

Rose: He’s still writing it

Alex: Yeah, it’s interesting isn’t it with performance art? You can write the structure, but in the moment of performance…

Rose: No, I mean literally. Every year he re-releases this album, every year the song’s a little different. A verse here and there.

Alex: couldn’t he just have made it good the first time? Why the gimmick?

Rose: It’s like his “Hallelujah”.

[Indistinct digital distortion]

Rose: Well, that's it for this episode of Gus by Gus. We'll be back next time talking about another song - until then, I'm Rose

Alex: And I'm Alex.
