Odyssey Sound Sessions

An Odyssey Sound Session with Fontaines D.C.

The Dublin-formed, London-based post-punk band are the most exciting band in the world right now. Formed at university in 2014, the five members include Grian Chatten (vocals), Conor Curley (guitar), Conor Deegan III (bass), Tom Coll (drums) and Carlos O'Connell (guitar). The Grammy-nominated group broke through in 2019 with their nihilistic, liberating debut album Dogrel. Their 2020 follow-up A Hero's Death earned the five-piece a Grammy nomination for Best Rock Album, and their chart-topping 2022 record Skinty Fia saw them win a Brit Award for Best International Act. Powered by the hit "Starburster", their latest album Romance has seen the band soar to new heights with their instinctive rock sound, new pop melodies and immaculate live show.

In this episode, Tom joins Roxy in Sydney to talk about the songs that have soundtracked his life so far.

An Odyssey Sound Session with @biig_piig.

Biig Piig is the project of Jess Smyth, the Irish singer-songwriter. Today Biig Piig releases her debut album 11:11. It's a huge moment for the artist who has been quietly influencing mainstream music through her dreamy, genre-bending, genre-defying sounds, and her work with the NiNE8 collective in London.

Speaking about the album, Biig Piig shares: "This record is about moments of clarity - those flashes of realisation when everything makes sense, even if just for a second. It's about chasing those moments, losing them, and finding them again. I wanted the album to feel fluid, like a dream you don't want to wake up from. Every song exists in its own world, but together, they tell a story about love, fear, identity, and learning to trust yourself."

In this episode, Jess joins Roxy to talk about the songs that have soundtracked important moments on her journey.
