It’s a very great pleasure to bring you new music from Hamell on Trial. He’s our first check-in this week on the show, chatting about a new album, pop music, Tyler the Creator, and what’s next from beside his courtyard swimming pool in Austin. Also, Chef Camille Rodriguez is back from from a chef’s trip to Italy, and this week we hear a bit about what she learned and discovered this summer, out there, back in the world of dishes that will inspire dishes and create new friends. Finally, we get a sneak listen from the rehearsal studio as Jim Infantino preps a live band to take his remarkable ambient electronic album, 'Utopia Revisited,' to the stage at Passim.
