    Interesting questioning by Simon means that I have not only learnt more about the music I already love, but have discovered some new music. A great listen.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Azure Ryder
Q: When writing about things that are so vulnerable and close to your own heart, is there ever trepidation about what to share and where to draw the line?
Ryder says she does not feel there is a fixed line for her. She believes personal openness helps listeners feel less alone and can create deep connections between an artist and an audience.
Azure Ryder
Q: Was there anything that surprised you during the process of making the album?
Ryder says producer Killian Gavin encouraged her to play guitar, challenging her assumption that only a more accomplished musician should do it. The experience gave her confidence to take ownership of every part of the record.
Lottie McLeod
Q: What was it that originally turned your mind to go, I would love to put pen to paper and try getting out my feelings and put a melody behind it?
McLeod says she started at Music Industry College, where a teacher's prompt to write songs made her realize she needed to try. She began writing in 2021, during her father's illness, and her first song drew on that experience.
Lottie McLeod
Q: Was the plan always to have a second EP out this year, or was there lots of music that was going to come?
McLeod says she writes songs as separate time capsules rather than for a planned body of work. She was already recording “Important 2” and “Boathouse” around the time Bug came out, and the latter song helped establish the direction of the new EP.
Wishy
Q: What role did your Indiana roots and the local scene play in shaping the album?
Growing up in Indiana fed a sense of grounding and authenticity, giving us room to experiment without the pressure of a major coastal market, which translated into a more honest, exploratory set of recordings.
