In this episode, we talk to Philip Christie of The Bonk about their song ‘Future 87’. First released in May 2022 and featured on their excellent LP – and our album of 2023 – Greater Than Or Equal To The Bonk, we’ll hear about how the song evolved from a jam committed to a 4-Track Tape in 2017, as well as looking at the limitations and creative decisions that shaped the recording.
