Our guest today is dance and techno DJ and producer FUKHED, the artist project of Lynn Tran.

She’s played festivals like Field Day and Beyond the Valley and released her single "No C No A." In late July, she'll join dance and electronic artists like DJ Seinfeld and JamesJamesJames on the Sound Archives Stage at Spin Off Festival, alongside artists like Baby Gravy, The Last Dinner Party, and Conan Gray. In today's episode, we talk to Lynn about the origins of the FUKHED name, playing festival sets versus club gigs, her creative process, and what more we can expect from her this year.

Our guests today are one of my favourite bands of the last 20 years....it's The Decemberists! The beloved indie rock band from Portland, Oregon, has been delighting audiences for over 20 years with their literary take on indie and folk rock, featuring critically acclaimed albums like 'The Crane Wife' and 'The Hazards of Love.' Last week, they released their brilliant ninth studio record, their first double album, 'As It Ever Was, So It Will Be Again.' In today's episode, we were lucky enough to speak with frontman Colin Meloy about the new record. We discuss the distinctive sound of this album, which combines elements of all previous Decemberists records. We explore the unique sections of the double album and how some parts sound completely different from others. Additionally, we delve into Colin's introduction to songwriting and the birth of the band. Plus, we probe Colin about when we might see them in Australia next.
