Episode 20: Lunitas

Coming in hot for the twentieth episode of independent art talk show "Hot Takes", we brought on another big visual artist in the vaporwave scene, Lunitas! Joining the Hot Takes homies for two hours' worth of deep dives, Lunitas brought the takes, the taste, and some fascinating stories and background behind their project. Known for being one of the most iconic and distinctive looking visual artists in the scene, Lunitas has designed artwork for Dan Mason, Popcultr, 猫 シ Corp, and several flyers for shows and events as well, like Austin's Body Cruise vapor dance party. Tune in to hear Lunitas tell the heartwarming story behind their namesake, "baby moons", and their coming to discover global community online while living in their tiny hometown! Watch the team melt down over particularly awful album covers by The Trail of Dead and The Yeah Yeah Yeahs! Get the scoop on Lunitas' personal musical journey throughout high school and young adulthood with garage rock, psychedelia, and freak folk. Despite the show's rawness and imperfections, a good time was had by all, many new names appeared in chat, and a very special raffle and teaser for the next upcoming episode were both announced in the final moments of the episode. What a hot start to the new year!
