SB RADIO 2: With David Perron (Free Form Freakout & Round Bale Recordings)

David Perron, a devoted music lover, digs deeper into the crates of obscure, forgotten, and unknown gems than any Caterpillar can shovel up the earth under our feet. He's been treating radio listeners from Mankato, Minnesota and far beyond to the best in lo-fi and freeform music for the last 15 years in his weekly FreeFormFreakout radio show and running a nicely curated record label called Round Bale Recordings, which brought us the likes of Matthew Revert, Russell Hoke, Sean McCann, Komare, Oxun Ox and many more. We’re glad to have had a nice chat with this generous and fine chap and play a selection from his Round Bale back catalogue. Fits very well with a Saison of any kind (if ye ask me, at least)
