Matthew E. White's new album, K Bay, is a wildly diverse record that has no regard for current trends. But then that's how Matthew has run his career from day one.

Not only is he a musician, he is also the founder of the Spacebomb music company, which has released albums by artists like Natalie Prass, Bedouine and Nadia Reid, and become one of the most well regarded independent music companies around.

We talk about that whole ride in this interview, as well as Matthew's upbringing in the Philippines and Japan, his path into music, and much, much more.
