Modern Songs Ep. 2: Hurray for the Riff Raff, Revisiting U2’s ‘Songs of Innocence’

In this episode of Modern Songs, we talk about the eco-aware “Rhododendron” by Hurray for the Riff Raff, then we remember when U2 dropped an album on all of us without asking. Specifically, we discuss the song “Sleep Like a Baby Tonight.” After that, we go through a couple tracks we’re really loving right now, by Lucy Dacus, Sabrina Carpenter, Mr. Husband, and Goose.

Modern Songs is a podcast devoted to the discovery of new music and the discussion of the greatest songs of the last 15 years.

This week, we share our thoughts about Florence + The Machine’s new single “King,” and we go over the ins and outs of our first Modern Classic, “Crazy” by Gnarls Barkley.
