Jeremiah Fraites Interview - Creating Music in Lockdown | The love/hate relationship with Tarkov | Excitement to start fresh at the wipe | EXFIL Episode 20 (An Escape From Tarkov Podcast)

An Escape From Tarkov Podcast Featuring: Jeremiah Fraites of the Lumineers

On this episode, your hosts, MTBtrigger and Ronal, were joined by Jeremiah Fraites (aka Jer) of the Lumineers.

Jeremiah is one of the founders of the band, but has enjoyed gaming in his free time and has recently taken up Tarkov.

They talk about the challenging uptake of the game and how he has been using his free time, after his family goes to bed, to stream and play Tarkov.

Also included in the episode is an in-depth look at some of the unique sounds that have been created in Jeremiah’s music. All of this stemming from a question about what it is currently like while being stuck at home (no studio time or touring) and creating music for his solo album.

This led to some inside info on where some of the ‘background’ noise comes from and when it should or shouldn’t be allowed in music. It is fascinating to listen to someone who creates music talk about the process and philosophy behind some of the well known songs, Donna for example.

The episode is rounded out by a conversation of a rabbit hole of Tarkov. They talked everything from team killing to post-wipe strategy (and fear). Perhaps the most unique part of the conversation was discussing how to get better at the game and a discovery the MTB tells everyone, at least Ronal and Jer, the same story about their progression.

Goodluck out there! We hope you enjoy the interview!
