The highlight of the middle section is an exclusive cover of Velvet Underground's "Candy Says" with an oozing hot tip.The second half of the show features the avant-garde soundscape "Who I Am & Why I Am Where" by Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith, a new song by Alexis' other band, About Group, "The Long Miles," the haunting "Ode" by Nils Frahm, "Workaround Two" by experimental musician Beatrice Dillon's "Workaround Two," and finally Alexis' father, Neil Taylor, reads a passage from James Joyce's "Finne-gans Wake" to close the story. Another masterpiece of a mix, perfect for a cozy night of sleepless nights.
