Wet Leg is back with their second album, “Moisturizer,” after their debut single “Chaise Longue” went viral in 2021. The band has grown in many ways and Jim and Greg are both enthusiastic about the album.
00:00:00 Review: Pulp
Pulp are back with their first new album in more than twenty years with “More.” Pulp’s frontman Jarvis Cocker has been at it since the late seventies and still hasn’t run out of things to say. Jim and Greg think Pulp still brings the goods.

Dear Listeners,
For more than 15 years, Sound Opinions was a production of WBEZ, Chicago's public radio station. Now that the show is independent, we're inviting you to join the band and lend a hand! We need your support more than ever because now we have to do all the behind-the-scenes work that WBEZ handled before (like buying insurance and paying for podcast hosting, ugh). Plus, we have some exciting ideas we'd like to try now that there's no one to tell us no!
Please consider becoming a Sound Opinions member by giving whatever you can via Patreon or with a one-time donation through PayPal. Thanks for listening, and thanks for your support!
