🎧 HOLYCHILD’s Brat Pop Blueprint — Louie Diller on Creating Ahead of the Curve
In this episode of Producer Points, Justin sits down with Louie Diller — songwriter, producer, drummer, and one half of the groundbreaking duo HOLYCHILD. A decade after their debut The Shape of Brat Pop to Come, Louie reflects on how HOLYCHILD helped pioneer the brat pop sound that still feels ahead of its time.
🎶 Song deep dives:
“Barbie Nation” by HOLYCHILD — chaotic yet controlled production, playful vocal tone, and odd-time signatures that somehow groove
“Favorite” by Silver Otto — vocal production, drum pocket choices, and the unexpected journey of a song written with Bonnie McKee
🎛️ We explore:
Louie’s unique drum programming style and transient-rich productions
Gear favorites, from Spitfire Labs to Zildjian Master Sound hi-hats
The balance of perfection vs. imperfection in modern pop
Why songwriter advocacy through SONA is so critical for the future of music
