Angels of Epistemology

We've teamed up with Come Hear NC on a podcast series that explores North Carolina music one song at a time. Eric Hodge is back this week, and on this episode he chats with Laura Ballance of Merge Records about one of the labels early singles from the Raleigh band Angels of Epistemology.

"What I hear when I hear Angels of Epistemology is this marriage of their intellects. You can tell how smart they are by how complicated their songs are."

Merge Records celebrates their 30th anniversay with a series of concerts in Durham and Carrboro July 24-27.
