We've teamed up with Come Hear NC on a podcast series that explores North Carolina music one song at a time. On this episode, Loamlandsfounder and Pinhookowner Kym Register talks Des Ark and their song 'Carolina Girls.'

"It's a pretty deep song. When I listened to it I was like 'That's my experience growing up as a queer person in North Carolina.'"
