Our guest for today's episode is Rey Villalobos, who releases music under the name The Coral Sea.
Rey started out as The Coral Sea back in 2004 and has released several albums since then - including Golden Planet Sky which came out last year.
Before he went solo, Rey began his music career as a drummer. Playing in bands in Los Angeles and Portland - where we moved in similar ciricles to Ellliott Smith.
In this interview he talks about those days, covering A Distorted Reality is a necessity to be free and he also discusses his favourite song pick - which also has a strong Portland connection. Thanks to listener Pierrick for suggesting Rey as a guest!
