My Music with Graham Coath: Date of Birth
What’s in a name? For Pablo and Birgitta, even the simplest form field — “Name / Date of Birth” — sparked the creation of their band. In this episode of My Music, I sit down with the duo behind Date of Birth, a project born out of playful coincidence, deep creativity, and a love of timeless sounds.
We chat about:
The unusual story behind their band name (and its catchy shorthand: DOB).
How five years in the studio shaped their debut album.
Musical influences from The Beatles and Beach Boys to ABBA (the first goth band?!).
Why their songs mix sunny vibes with a touch of melancholy.
The role of visuals, vintage fashion, and a bit of nostalgia in their creative process.
Expect talk of puppet cats, anniversary flowers, embroidered merch dreams, and why sometimes the happiest music carries the most profound longing.
👉 Tune in for a conversation that’s as joyful and quirky as the band itself — and discover why Date of Birth might just be the soundtrack you didn’t know you needed.
