S01 E02 - Rec Centre

Written By Simone Atenea Medina Polo

In this episode of Undercurrents: An Artist's Artist Conversation, Simone Atenea Medina Polo is joined by Alex Hudson (aka. Rec Centre) following the release of his sixth album, Squash. As in many of Rec Centre’s recordings, the process involved overdubbing over and over with a single microphone, building up arrangements that are lush and layered while retaining its iconic homemade candour — often in collaboration with Energy Slime’s Jay Arner.
