  1. ifitbeyourwill Podcast #175 • After Ours

    4 DAYS AGO

    ifitbeyourwill Podcast #175 • After Ours

    Blending dream-pop haze, indie folk intimacy, and jazz-inflected songwriting, After Ours creates music that feels suspended between memory and late-night confession. On Imaginary Friend, Kayla Janowitz folds soft textures, diaristic lyrics, and understated hooks into songs that linger long after they end. In this conversation, she reflects on learning jazz standards with her brother, navigating perfectionism in studio, and the emotional residue that shapes her writing. What emerges is a thoughtful discussion about nostalgia, identity, and the strange beauty of becoming someone new while still carrying older versions of yourself forward. A great listen for all aspiring musicians. Send us Fan Mail Support the show linktr.ee/colleyc

    5 MAY

    ifitbeyourwill Podcast #174 • Michael Feuerstack

    A wide-ranging conversation with Michael Feuerstack that traces the arc from Snail House bedroom recordings to a decades-long solo practice shaped by collaboration and quiet persistence. He reflects on how songs emerge—sometimes as fragments, sometimes as loops you can’t shake—and what it means to stay open enough to follow them. Moving through Montréal’s indie community and his own shifting identity as an artist, the episode lands on a simple throughline: make the work, finish it, and put it into the world.

  4. ifitbeyourwill Podcast #172 • Common Holly

    21 APR

    ifitbeyourwill Podcast #172 • Common Holly

    More than a decade into Common Holly, Brigitte Naggar still writes the way she did as a teenager — quietly, in her bedroom, not quite ready to let anyone hear. On this episode, Chris sits down with the Montreal songwriter to talk about Anything Glass (June 2025) and its companion EP They Will Draw Halos Around Our Heads (February), two records that feel like siblings. Brigitte talks about going back to the piano for the first time since she was a kid, letting poems turn into songs without forcing them, and her long run with producer Devon Bate (Jean-Michel Blais, Jeremy Dutcher) — a collaborator so unshowy you stay with him for ten years because he just gets it. She's warm on Montreal too: friendships that go back fifteen years, monthly jams with Ada Lea and Cedric Noel, and the quiet reset Common Holly and the rest of the city's scene went through after the pandemic. Also: why the slow songs landed hardest this time, a Left of the Dial date in Rotterdam, and some loose hints at what comes next — maybe an all-vocal record, maybe something built around cello. Nothing rushed. Whatever feels right. Send us Fan Mail Support the show linktr.ee/colleyc

    14 APR

    ifitbeyourwill Podcast #171 • The Leaf Library

    The Leaf Library have spent two decades quietly building one of indie music's most singular worlds — and their fourth album, After the Rain, Strange Seeds, might be their finest yet. ifitbeyourwill sits down with Matt, the band's driving force, to trace a journey that began with a Stereolab ad in Reading and wound through DIY networks, John Peel plays, and six years of painstaking work on a record that finally feels like vindication. They talk craft, collaboration, and the particular delusion it takes to finish an album. Stay for the song. Send us Fan Mail Support the show linktr.ee/colleyc

    7 APR

    ifitbeyourwill Podcast #170 • The New Cut

    Bristol's The New Cut have built their grungy, clunky, twangy world from the outside in — and frontman Henry Gerrard wouldn't have it any other way. On this episode, he sits down with ifitbeyourwill to trace the band's DNA: OCD, social anxiety, and the particular relief of finding your people in a room full of outsiders. They dig into the new EP, the strange paradox of performing your most vulnerable self to strangers, and why their live show hits hardest when there's nothing left to prove.

    ifitbeyourwill Podcast #169 • Cindy

    ifitbeyourwill Podcast sits down with Karina Gill of San Francisco indie band Cindy to discuss their forthcoming album Another Country, out May 2026. From stumbling upon an abandoned guitar in a basement to touring France, England, and an upcoming Japan trip, Karina reflects on the unlikely journey of five-plus records and a slow-burning, dreamy sound that keeps surprising even her. They dig into the organic, tape-recorded making of the new album — fresh takes, minimal rehearsal, and a subtle country spirit woven throughout. A warm conversation about music, nerves, and gratitude. Send us Fan Mail Support the show linktr.ee/colleyc

    ifitbeyourwill Podcast #168 • Trippers & Askers

    Episode 168 — Jay Hammond brings Trippers & Askers to the show from Durham, North Carolina, ahead of his May 2026 album Tried to Do's — a record about grief, healing, and what it means to put things back together. Drawing from indie folk, jazz, and experimental textures, Hammond's sound resists easy categorization. We talk growing up in Jackson, Tennessee, finding his songwriting footing in his early twenties, and why music remains his most honest outlet. East Coast tour dates and a handful of UK shows are on the way. Send us Fan Mail Support the show linktr.ee/colleyc
