In this episode of MyMusic, Graham Coath welcomes back the brilliant Harry Stafford, songwriter and creative force behind Inca Babies, for another deep and wide-ranging conversation on music, memory, and reinvention.
Harry shares the inside story on Reincarnation, the band’s upcoming album that breathes new life into old tracks from their 80s catalogue — reworked, reimagined, and remixed for today, while keeping the raw spirit intact. Expect dub-infused rhythms, modern production techniques, and a beautiful blend of nostalgia and fresh creativity — including a rare guest appearance from the late, great Keith Levene.
We talk:🎸 The joy (and terror!) of revisiting old lyrics and notebooks
📼 The beauty of analogue tech and quarter-inch tape
📚 Collage art, chalk murals, and China graph pencils
🧠 Musical memory, algorithm fatigue & the loss of musical serendipity
❤️🔥 And how allowing ourselves to be gloriously pretentious is part of the creative process
It’s thoughtful, funny, and packed with passion — as Harry opens up his archive and gives us a glimpse into the soul of a band still pushing creative boundaries decades on.
Listen now, and don’t forget to follow Harry and Inca Babies — and keep an eye out for Reincarnation later this year.
