Shakey Graves joins host Stephen Kallao

When Shakey Graves found himself with a rejected pile of music he’d scored for a film, he decided to transform it into something new. On his latest album, Movie of the Week, the musician let his creativity run amok, creating songs to score different imaginary films. Shakey Graves joins us on the next World Cafe to talk about the album, plus how he used A.I. to share alternate tracks and B-sides that didn’t make the final cut.

Listen to the session here.
