#240: Pride in Our Musical Love Handles with Kris of They Owe Us

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Kristopher Ragnstam is the creative force behind The Owe Us, a rock/alternative/electronic band from Sweden. Kris recently released the band's new album, <em>Kram</em>, to much critical acclaim. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Kris and I sat down for our second talk on the podcast. We discussed how he manages to balance the raw energy of musical performance while maintaining a certain level of polish. We cover philosophical approaches to gear choice, including his healthy "headache" mixing console and his 2006 computer. Kris also talks about collaborating with others and the importance of keeping a healthy relationship with bandmates.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Listen on</span> <a href= "https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/music-production-podcast/id1212124420"> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Apple</span></a> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">or</span> <a href= "http://www.stitcher.com/podcast/music-production-podcast?refid=stpr"> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Stitcher</span></a> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">or</span> <a href= "https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9tdXNpY3Byb2R1Y3Rpb25wb2RjYXN0LmxpYnN5bi5jb20vcnNz"> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Google</span></a> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">or</span> <a href= "https://open.spotify.com/show/2R5hFhExyUzbI7jD7eauck"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Spotify</span></a><span style= "font-weight: 400;">; watch on</span> <a href= "https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLk4jo7_Rx2-2mjUoTXTL4u0iUH5_XqBYi"> <span style="font-weight: 400;">YouTube</span></a></p> <p><strong>Show Notes:</strong></p> <ul> <li>They Owe Us - <a href= "https://www.theyoweus.com">https://www.theyoweus.com</a></li> <li>Kram - <a href= "https://www.bengans.se/sv/artiklar/they-owe-us-kram-limited-edition-with-signed-and-hand-numbered-riso-poster.html"> https://www.bengans.se/sv/artiklar/they-owe-us-kram-limited-edition-with-signed-and-hand-numbered-riso-poster.html</a></li> <li>Instagram - <a href= "https://www.i
