Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Line Noise 233 - Emma-Jean Thackray
Q: How important is humor in your work?
It's really important so that people see that side of me and to show the duality of life in my music, balancing heavy themes with silliness.
Line Noise 233 - Emma-Jean Thackray
Q: What does it mean to you to reclaim the word 'weirdo'?
It means becoming comfortable with the things that make me different, despite the negatives, and recognizing their role in shaping my identity and music.
Line Noise 216 - Simo Cell live at Primavera Sound 2025
Q: Why did you do the song Oh No as a response to the Daft Punk track Oh Yeah?
It was partly inspired by my love for Daft Punk's original track, and I wanted to create a new version with dirty drums.
Line Noise 216 - Simo Cell live at Primavera Sound 2025
Q: Am I right that the EP that's coming, FL Louis, is a reconnection with your French Touch roots?
Yes, it's a reconnection with my French Touch roots and explores contemporary sound design.
Line Noise 211 - Mark Pritchard
Q: Is there one record you'd send them to?
If someone comes to your music via Tall Tales, I usually say Under the Sun, because it's a good place to start.
