Bartees Strange was inspired growing up by artists like Bloc Party, At the Drive-In, and countless other artists. Now he's out to do the same with his EP, Today, which re-imagines music by The National and is retold through the lens of Black musicians in a scene that often erases or leaves them out. Bartees joins this week to talk about how music has shaped him, inspiring other people of color, throwing away genre, and more.
