Episode 37: Dec Burke - Life in Two Dimensions

<p>Irish-born progressive rocker Dec Burke is known for his time in Frost* and his former band Darwin's Radio. But he's a talented and respected solo artist as well, and he just released his fourth album, Life in Two Dimensions, in late September. It's chock full of guitar heroics, with a modern sound and production, but it retains Dec's melodic sensibilities, which he places first and foremost. Dec was kind enough to take a deep dive into the album with me and also talked about his influences, how he consumes music, why he changed from keyboards to guitar as his instrument of choice, working with Frost*, and more.</p> <p>You can find out more about Dec Burke <a href='https://www.facebook.com/dec.burke.1'>on his Facebook page</a>.  </p> <p>Reminder: You can support independent podcasting by becoming a Michael's Record Collection Patreon subscriber starting at only $2 per month (50 cents an episode...or less!) at <a href='https://www.patreon.com/michaelsrecordcollection'>the MRC Patreon page</a>.
