The Space Between the NotesWaxahatchee : Tiger's BloodOn this episode I speak with Katie Crutchfield, the voice and person behind Waxahatchee. If you don’t know Waxahatchee, and clicked on this episode because you just like the name, that’s crazy. Waxahatchee is one of my favourite projects and I’d go as far as to say the last record Saint Cloud, from 2020 was my favourite record of
that year, and one of the best of the decade so far. The follow up to that record comes out today, Friday 22nd
March, via ANTI-. It is called Tiger’s Blood and it is also bangin’.

The Space Between the NotesRosie Tucker : UTOPIA NOW!I am super excited to be sharing this episode – it is one of my favourite conversations I’ve ever had for this podcast. I speak with one of my favourite working artists, the American
singer-songwriter Rosie Tucker. I’ve spoken to some big names for this show like Jessie Ware, Romy and Neil Halstead, but one of the reasons that I do the show is to share some of the music I think is underrated and should be more widely listened to. Rosie Tucker is perhaps number 1 on that list for me.
Their music is is full of bea...
2024-03-1441 minThe Space Between the NotesHelado Negro : PhasorOn this episode I speak with the American musician and multidisciplinary artist Roberto Carlos Lange, who makes music under the moniker Helado Negro. I first heard Helado Negro on the S-Town podcast, and then really fell in love with his record This Is How You Smile in 2019. Since then there have been two new records: 2021s Far In, which was one of my favourites of that year, and now the excellent Phasor, which came out on February 9th via 4AD.
2024-02-1525 minThe Space Between the NotesMaria BC : Spike FieldI speak with the vocalist, songwriter and artist magician Rian Bobbitt-Chertock, who makes music under the name Maria BC. This was a particularly exciting conversation for me because I was not expecting to have the intensity of response to this new record as I did. It’s called Spike Field, and it comes out on 20th October via Sacred Bones. Along with probably one other record, it is tied for my album of the year so far. I love how surprising and unusual
and emotionally evocative it is. I love the concept and the depth to which it explores it...
2023-10-1331 minThe Space Between the NotesAl Menne : Freak AccidentOn today’s episode I have a conversation with Al Menne. Al came up in the music scene as the lead singer of Seattle-based rock band Great Grandpa, who’s 2019 album Four of Arrows was one of my favourites that year. Al has an amazing warbly voice that can switch
between registers in this seamless way which makes them one of my favourite working vocalists. They’ve just released their debut solo album Freak Accident which came out on 22nd September on Double Double Whammy, and it’s absolutely stunning. I love every
song on the record and it will def...
2023-10-1028 minThe Space Between the NotesRomy : Mid AirOn this episode I have a conversation with Romy Madley Croft, also known just as Romy, about her first solo record Mid Air. Romy is perhaps best known as a guitarist and vocalist in the band The XX, but despite this being her official solo debut, she has been around as a solo artist for quite a while.
Mid Air hearkens back to her queer nightlife days in the 1990s and 2000s when she was listening to a lot of emotional dance pop music in clubs. I love this album because it’s one you can easily da...
2023-09-2029 minThe Space Between the NotesSlowdive : everything is aliveI speak with Neil Halstead from the band Slowdive. Slowdive are a legendary British shoegaze band that formed in Reading in 1989. They, along with My Bloody Valentine, are credited with pioneering the shoegaze sound: ethereal obscured vocals, swirling guitar distortion and effects, feedback, and overwhelming volume. The band's 1993 album Souvlaki has been recognized as one of the best releases of the 1990s and one of the greatest shoegaze albums of all time. The band broke up soon after the release of their third studio album Pygmalion in 1995, and reunited in 2014 to play Primavera Sound festival. In 2017 they released their...
2023-09-1934 minThe Space Between the NotesRomy : Mid AirOn this episode I have a conversation with Romy Madley Croft (Romy) about her first solo record Mid Air, out via Young Records on September 8th. Romy is best known as a guitarist and vocalist in the band The XX,
but despite this being her official solo debut, she has been around
as a solo artist for a fair while.
Mid Air hearkens back to her queer nightlife days in the 1990s and 2000s when she was listening to a lot of emotional dance pop music in clubs, and it really immortalises that sound: it’s one yo...
2023-09-1429 minThe Space Between the NotesBuck Meek : Haunted MountainBuck Meek is an American musician from Wimberley, Texas, best known as the guitarist and backing vocalist of Big Thief.
His third solo album, Haunted Mountain, comes out on August 25th via 4AD.
In our conversation we talk about the relationship between emotions and environment, his songwriting process, and surfing with luminescent dolphins.
2023-08-1631 minThe Space Between the NotesLocal Natives : Time Will Wait for No OneToday's guests are Kelcey Ayer and Taylor Rice from the band Local Natives, an American indie rock band based in Silver Lake, Los Angeles. They just released their fifth album, Time Will Wait for No One, on July 7th via Loma Vista and Concord.
They worked on the album while they were enduring a "time of metamorphosis" as individuals, citing in a press release a concert in Los Angeles which they described as "one of the most emotional concerts" of their career that made them uncertain of their future as a band and as individuals.

2023-07-1248 minThe Space Between the NotesU.S. Girls : Bless This MessToday's episode features my conversation with Meg Remy of the Toronto-based experimental pop project U.S. Girls. U.S. Girls was formed in 2007, and she released music on a variety of independent record labels before signing to 4AD in 2015.
Half Free, her first record for 4AD, garnered a Juno Award nomination for Alternative Album of the Year at the Juno Awards of 2016, and was a shortlisted finalist for the 2016 Polaris Music Prize. Her next records In a Poem Unlimited (2018) and Heavy Light (2020) also received the same accolades. Meg collaborates with a number of Toronto-based musicians on both...
2023-05-1230 minThe Space Between the NotesWednesday : Rat Saw GodOn today's episode I talk with Karly Hartzman of the band Wednesday. The band is based in Asheville, North Carolina, and is currently signed to Dead Oceans. As well as Karly, the band consists of guitarist Jake Lenderman, lap steel player Xandy Chelmis, and drummer Alan Miller.
A Wednesday song is a quilt. A short story collection, a half-memory, a patchwork of portraits of the American south, disparate moments that somehow make sense as a whole. Karly is a story collector as much as she is a storyteller: a scholar of people and one-liners. Rat Saw God...
2023-05-0426 minThe Space Between the NotesIndigo De Souza : All of This Will EndToday's guest, Indigo De Souza, is an American singer-songwriter from Asheville, North Carolina. She has been noted for creating intimate, anxious indie rock songs that wrangle with disappointment and relationship challenges, with personal and confessional lyrics.
We discuss the influence of the 2020/21 lockdown on her personal life and songwriting process, her love of the band Friendship, her run of shows at SXSW 2023, and some other stuff, in our conversation. Her forthcoming album, All of This Will End, comes out on April 28th via Saddle Creek. Purchase it here if you'd like Indigo to get some money for...
