TPOE 279: Jape

The Point of Everything

Richie Egan aka Jape has just released his sixth studio album Endless Thread, via Faction Records. Egan produced and recorded the album at RARN studio using a unique collection of ribbon microphones, tape machines and tube outboard equipment. The album was mixed by David Odlum (Sam Smith, Lisa O’Neill) and mastered by Seán MacErlaine. The artwork was assembled by M&E Sweden. "I’ve been putting all my focus onto getting into the tiny details of songs these days, there is so much joy in the details. The title Endless Thread reminds me we are all stitches on the rug of time who influence each other and inspire people in ways we don’t even know half the time, whether it’s an artist from the past or a thread on a social media page." On this episode, Richie talks through making the album, life in Sweden, being and staying creative, and what to expect from his upcoming tour, which includes a quiz he's calling Japery.
