EP. 65 | Zach Bryan | With Heaven On Top

Welcome to Episode 65 of This Is Not Happening. An Album of the Month podcast.

In Part 1, we review our Album of the Month. This month Nolan brings a big chunk of country (or is Heartland Rock?) with Zach Bryan's latest release 'With Heaven On Top'.

In Part 2, we play Spin It or Bin It, we pick a theme and all pick songs that represent that theme. This month the theme is 'New Music', tracks released since January 1st.

__________Part 1 | Album of the Month | Zach Bryan | With Heave On Top ____________

Zach Bryan is a relatively divisive, country artist who is HUGE in the states but can his latest album help him become (even more of) a global superstar? At 25 tracks and 1hr 18 mins he's giving the album every chance of making an impact.

This album has genuine, authentic heart. It's length is a big talking point, so is it's genre, is it country? Americana? Something else?

Every 3 months we pick the theme 'New Music' and each pick 4 tracks that have been released in the last 2 month. Listen to our 16 track play list that we created for the New Music theme.

We then each pick select 1 track and ask the simple question 'Spin It Or Bin It'?

• Joey chose 'Aperture' by Harry Styles.
• David chose 'Miami' by Pigeon.
• Nolan chose 'Milk, Blue' by Pem.
• Guy chose 'Out of Phase' by Alexis Taylor and Lola Kirke
