Breaking Walls

In episode 20 of Breaking Walls, we ring in August, the month of Harvest, with an interview with Olive Hui and John Wlaysewski of Brooklyn Indie Guitar Pop band Late Cambrian. This conversation covers how John and Olive approach their non 9-5 lives while being able to produce the kind of music and art they want to. It’s a good look into the lives of two people thriving while being “indie” in New York City. @LateCambrian closes the podcast with "Golden Time."

Highlights Include:

• The importance of soul searching and finding your own unique voice.

• Why Olive considers her life to be an adventure

• The importance of being direct and honest with yourself

• Why some bands fizzle and others rise, according to John

• John’s writing process

• How they make rent each month and why John thinks that “money is out there”

• What the Converse Rubber Tracks are and How you can record there

• Difficulties socially to be an artist

• Lessons learned on Late Cambrian’s European tour

• Where we can go next
