Andrew Pekler - Fourth World Problems
Travelling with my family through Europe many years ago, I first ran into Andrew Pekler inside small record store somewhere in Germany. What better opportunity is there for a kid to avoid boring sightseeing to spend some hours digging for records? This is how I eventually got to know Andrew's own music, from his involvement in several bands to his solo efforts as Sad Rockets and under his own name.
More than 15 years later, I still follow his activities on SoundCloud and occasionally catch one of his mixes on Dublab radio. Here's one he recorded for the Skyapnea show on NTS Live.
