In this week's show, Ben Gibbard and Chris Walla of US indie outift Death Cab for Cutie join us to discuss their recent tour with Neil Young and how their band contributed to Obama's election win. New York singer-songwriter Mike Bones, whose single What I Have Left featured on the show a few weeks back, talks about the 75 other bands he plays in and explains why he's still plagued by "beautiful women and existential despair". Plus, Jon Dennis enthuses about Krautrockers Neu!, explaining how they influenced the likes of Joy Division and Fujiya & Miyagi.
There's also new music from synth-stress La Roux, Boston electro band Passion Pit and Beyoncé's sister Solange in Singles Club, as well as live acoustic tracks from both of this week's guests.
