  4. Two-Headed Calf - Wasteland, literature-inspired songwriting and female-fronted bands

    Two-Headed Calf - Wasteland, literature-inspired songwriting and female-fronted bands

    Two-Headed Calf’s single Wasteland, released on March 22 this year, accompanied me on a wonderful drive around its release time. An ambient synths-rock song perfect for your nightly journaling session. This April, Sarah and Katie, Two-Headed Calf, got together with me to discuss how the song came together, what it means and how it suits the Glasgow-based band’s experience of living in the city. We as well touched upon the topic of how it is to be in a female-fronted band and how male-dominated the music industry still is to this day, yes, we discussed how all boys think as soon as they have a band that they’re the next Beatles lol (no hate to John, George, Ringo and Paul - we love those boys!). Two-Headed Calf are coming back with new music (which we also discussed at the end) and exciting gigs early next year - stay tuned for that! Instagram: @twoheadedcalf__ TikTok: @twoheadedcalf__ There had some line-up changes since our interview, so if you hear a mention of Callum, he’s no longer in the band. Watch a clip of this interview here.

  5. Caroline Kingsbury - I Really Don't Care!, grief in songwriting and Heaven's Just A Flight

    Caroline Kingsbury - I Really Don't Care!, grief in songwriting and Heaven's Just A Flight

    Caroline Kingsbury and I go far back, almost three years ago now we started to follow each other’s careers and I can’t express in words how much I gasped waking up one random morning earlier this year, finding out her banger of a song Kissing Someone Else got a lot of attention overnight. Heaven’s Just A Flight, her debut album from 2020, helped me through my first heartbreak and that way actually became my most streamed album on Spotify ever with 1,145 scrobbles, according to my last.fm statistics, and it sounds about right. In this episode, we go in depth of the lyrics of the songs off her newly-released EP I Really Don’t Care!, as well as her debut album. We discuss the past year that changed her career after almost giving up and how grief is the touchstone in her songwriting and it always is there, even when writing on love. Instagram: @kingsburyxx Watch a clip of this interview here. Go see her live in NYC, Chicago and early next year she’s supporting Pom Pom Squad → tickets are available here. “I Really Don’t Care!” is out now: get the vinyl here.
