Our guest today is alternative pop polymath SASAMI. The Korean American songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist is a true musical chameleon, seamlessly shifting between heavy metal, industrial, folk ballads, and alt-pop while touring with the likes of Mitski, Soccer Mommy, and Snail Mail. Today, she releases her most pop-focused record yet—her third studio album, Blood on the Silver Screen. In this episode, we chat with SASAMI about stepping into the world of pop and why embracing it was actually the punkest move she could make. We discuss her shift away from classical roots, the contrasting production styles of Jenn Decilveo and Rostam, and whether we’ll see her on Australian shores later this year.SASAMI: Instagram / Spotify Purchase Blood on the Silver Screen and find SASAMI on tour here.Visit our official website here and follow us across our socials.

Franc Moody
Our guests today are the brilliant British electronic music duo Franc Moody. Composed of Jon Moody and Ned Franc, the pair has carved out a unique niche in the world of soulful disco grooves and textured electronic music, blending influences from artists like LCD Soundsystem, Daft Punk, and Jamiroquai. With their third studio album, Chewing the Fat, dropping this Friday, they bring a grittier, more analog-inspired and textured approach to their sound. In today’s episode, we chat with Jon and Ned about this shift in style, how they brought the new sound to life, and the experience of recording in a studio rented from Damon Albarn of Blur, complete with access to his legendary synth collection.

Sebastian Schub
Our guest today is an exciting new voice in singer-songwriter music—Sebastian Schub. The British-German artist first made a name for himself busking in London and Dublin before shifting to original music, leading to his breakout track Sing Like Madonna. With 15 million Spotify streams, the song is drawing comparisons to Hozier and Michael Marcagi thanks to his rich baritone and powerful storytelling. While in Australia for special showcases, Sebastian joins us to chat about Sing Like Madonna, the breaking point that nearly made him quit songwriting, the balance between mathematical precision and gut instinct in crafting a song, and what’s next—including new music on the horizon.Sebastian Schub : Instagram / Spotify Visit our official website here and follow us across our socials.
