440. Will Welch on OutKast 'ATLiens' (1996)

Today, Global Editorial Director of GQ and Pitchfork Will Welch joins me to talk about the OutKast classic ‘ATLiens’. Will takes us on a journey from discovering the record as a kid in Atlanta to meeting and writing about Andre and Big Boi as a journalist, living in the world they were writing about on the record, the comic book that accompanied the CD, the musical partnership between Andre and Big Boi, the Dungeon Family Cinematic Universe, how OutKast kept it weird as they got more popular, Andre 3000’s flute album and much more.

We also talk about his recent documentary on Jason Isbell’s new album ‘Foxes in the Snow’, which you can watch here - https://www.thesametruthproductions.com/
