Night Clerk Radio: Haunted Music Reviews

A Title Other Than Gone Fishing

Episode Summary

While some may wax poetic about the ancient and noble art of fishing, they often overlook that it’s an activity that inspires some excellent games with incredible soundtracks. Well, in this episode, we haven’t forgotten! We’re talking about fishing games, their music, and their influence on vaporwave. We primarily focus on two plunderphonics albums from River Master, but we also talk about a handful of other albums, both old and new. So grab a six-pack and some nightcrawlers and join us!
