On their stellar third album, ‘TOY’ (out now through Domestic La La), Dear Seattle are wrestling with change. It’s a record born from transitional states of self-reflection, where recollections of who we were collide head-on with who we want, often desperately, to be.

Joining the show for our first guest episode of 2025, frontman and guitarist Brae Fisher takes us on the journey that birthed ‘TOY,’ as we discuss the band’s road dog attitude and live pursuits, stripping Taylor Swift songs for parts, and leaning into the delicate tradecraft of anthemic songwriting.
