**This episode was originally published on November 7, 2023, and really, any time is a good time to revisit this hang with Patrick!**

For this episode of Songs of Our Lives, I invite Patrick Shiroishi on the show. It would take a novel to list all the incredible things Patrick is doing these days, but notably he has new album out this week, “I was too young to hear silence” on American Dreams. He’s also a member of The Armed, and has a dizzying array of collaborative projects on every single burner. We get into the wild backstory of Doraemon, the power of a wordless chorus, teenage screamo dreams, the levels of K-Dot, and our hopes of a new Joanna Newsom album in 2024.

Listen to all of Patrick’s picks HERE
