On today's episode I talk to musician Chris Leo. Originally from New
Jersey, Chris started playing music in the early 1990s with his
brother Danny in the groundbreaking hardcore band Native Nod. When
they broke up, Chris formed the post-rock band The Van Pelt, whose
two albums - Stealing From Our Favorite Thieves and Sultans Of
Sentiment - were released by NJ indie record label Gern Blandsten.
Chris then formed The Lapse with Van Pelt member Toko Yasuda (also
of Enon and Blonde Redhead) and then the Vague Angels. A few years
ago, La Castanya released a Van Pelt rarities album called
Imaginary Third.
