Sound Of Plaid Archive: Special Guest KUMQUAT

Sound Of Plaid episode 2012.10.19: Special Guest KUMQUAT (Fred Church)

Album debut!  Kumquat (Fred Church) joins us to celebrate the release of his new album Teleprompting featuring none other than Barack Obama on lead vocals!  Painstakingly scoured from the audio book of Obama's autobiography, Teleprompting avoids the cliché of music which samples politicians solely to criticize, parody, or occasionally praise.

“The music prompts the listener to think about the person that Obama grew up being, rather than the caricature that often exists today.  It is fun and provocative to put Obama’s voice in specific situations from his past: being chased by a girl on an elementary school playground, making forced small talk while eating stale cheese puffs, hiking down a mud path in rural Indonesia.  Each song on Teleprompting is anchored to a specific time and place in Obama’s early life,” says Kumquat’s founder, Fred Church.

On this show we listen to the whole album and talk with Fred about his inspiration and background on each track.  You can also download the whole album for free.  Kumquat previously appeared on The Sound of Plaid episode 2011.05.12 with PimpDaddySupreme and has joined ECC and Professor Ben on panel talks in Seattle and New Orleans.
