S5E214 - Catherine Wheel 'Chrome' with Nate Levine

In 1993, British alternative/shoegaze band Catherine Wheel paired-up with producer Gil Norton (Pixies) to create a record that fused the atmospheric beauty of their debut with a crushing wall-of-sound: 'Chrome'. The feedback-drenched tales of beauty and paranoia caught the ear of this week's guest, artist/poet Nate Levine, and he joined us for a deep-dive into the sonic muck.
