The Big Mates discuss antique shops, alternative dance music, relatively new sweets, and Stick Around for Joy by The Sugarcubes.

Adam, Steve, and Lucas continue the prologue of their deep-dive exploration into the music of Björk by talking about the third album by The Sugarcubes.

They discuss the details of the band's hiatus, the journey to America to make the album, the incorporation of dance-influenced sounds, and offer analysis, interpretation, and opinion from three differing perspectives on music, from being deeply into music and analysis, to not caring for art or critique, and everything in between!

What is alternative dance music? How cheeky is the band? How thick is Meade? Find out on this episode of What Is Music?

Our next episode is out next week, Monday June 15th, and we'll look at some of the visual media related to The Sugarcubes!
