Frank Ocean launches Homer Radio on Apple Music
Offering up a “one hour window into what plays around our office after hours.”
Frank Ocean is returning to Apple Music with a new radio show. Homer Radio is described as providing “one hour window into what plays around our office after hours.”
The first episode launched today, October 28, and featured an appearance by the Ivorian producer Crystallmess. Tracks played by Ocean ranged from Dolly Parton's "9 to 5" to Kodak Black's "Walk" via Autechre, Glorilla, and Underworld's "Born Slippy."
The description of Homer Radio on Apple Music reads: "Twin line array speakers hold court, they’re only a little loud. Someone’s vacuuming the carpets in another room adding white noise to the song. A security guard coming back up from a cigarette break can hear it all from inside the elevator. Magnified eyes see through a headset loaded with grids of light and lenses and loupes. Skulls on swivels make no sudden movements helicoptering over paperwork, pens, blades, vices, metals and gems. Artificial light pours from small canisters like those dragons that spring from cylinders, like the never-ending ribbons pulled from a magicians ear. Media fires back and forth and back again across the net. Sorkin-like walk and talks travel down the hallways further and further from the sound. This is Homer Radio. An office soundtrack. Can’t you hear our ‘voice’? It’s not a dead line."
Home Radio replaces Ocean's Blonded Radio, which last broadcast two episodes back in July. The annual “Blonded Xmas” episode aired late last year. Ocean is due to headline Coachella next year.
