This episode features ALMA, a three-piece experimental dream pop outlet from Brooklyn. The band, consisting of Alba S. Torremocha, Lillie R. McDonough, and Melissa K. Carter, recently released their first LP, Mosaic, a "personal letter to NYC" that also explores contemporary social issues and the universal, ageless travails of the heart. We spoke about Mosaic, which the band is in the process of converting to a stage musical, as well as their passion for climate activism and social change — a passion that infuses much of their work, including their single "Water Rises," a self-described "party song about climate catastrophe."
