Join Leah Kardos (Kate Bush’s Hounds of Love), Anthony Gomez III (Mazzy Star’s So Tonight That I Might See), and Elliott Simpson (Yo La Tengo’s And Then Nothing Turned Itself Inside-Out), and for a lively three-person conversation drawn from the acclaimed 33⅓ series of album-length books.

Together they’ll explore how these records became cult touchstones: made in privacy, at a deliberate remove from hype, and powered by fierce creative independence. Expect close listening, sharp cultural context, and a look at what 33⅓ does best—treating popular music as serious literature, one album at a time. A night for devoted fans, curious newcomers, and anyone who loves art that refuses to shout. They’ll ask what endures: atmosphere, risk, restraint — and why the art of staying strange is all part of playing the long game.
