This Song Is Yours

Our guests this week are from Wishy. An indie rock five-piece from Indianapolis, Wishy have spent the last few years earning praise from Pitchfork, NME and Stereogum, landing on year-end lists at The New York Times and GQ, and notching a Colbert performance along the way. Last year a run of tour dates with Momma brought them across the US and through LA, where we were lucky enough to catch them live. Last week they returned with their sophomore record 'Nature's Pill', a gorgeous collection of guitar-driven songs that finds the band fully in their stride. On today's episode, Kevin and Nina join us to discuss the making of Nature's Pill and how some of these songs first took shape, the vulnerability that comes with two primary songwriters sharing new work with their bandmates, and how the Indiana music scene compares to others they've encountered on the road.

Our guest this week is Sycco. The project of Naarm-based songwriter, artist and producer Sasha McLeod has built serious momentum since its inception: touring with Remi Wolf and Glass Animals, accumulating over 80 million streams, and releasing debut record Zorb to an ARIA nomination and the J Award, with collaborations alongside Flume and Mallrat cementing her reputation as one of the most promising young artists in the country. Last week she returned with Look Up, a sophomore record made on Victoria's Mornington Peninsula that swaps the familiar for the open air, blending RnB, pop and electronica into something genre-bending, youthful and deeply satisfying. On today's episode, Sash joins us to talk about the vulnerability running throughout Look Up, how recording out on the Mornington Peninsula influenced the sound of the record, and her introduction to songwriting.

Our guest this week is Johnny Marr. One of the most restless and influential guitarists of his generation, Johnny has spent four decades refusing to stand still, from the iconic guitar work that defined The Smiths, to Electronic, Modest Mouse, Hans Zimmer film scores, a memoir, and a solo career that has only grown in confidence with each record. This week he returns with The Age of Everything, an album that captures an artist completely at ease with who he is and what he wants to say, while finding optimism in a world that isn't always easy to be optimistic about. On today's episode, Johnny joins us to talk about how this record was built from a single title outward, how each album serves as a document of where he was in his life at the time, and what he's still chasing as a songwriter after all these years.

Our guest this week is Bonobo. UK musician Simon Green has spent over twenty-six years and seven albums building one of electronic music's most distinctive careers, blending field recordings, organic sounds and electronic production in a way that has earned him seven Grammy nominations and collaborations with artists like Erykah Badu and Damon Albarn. In early September he released Distance in Static, his eighth studio record, bringing together collaborators like Arooj Aftab and Nilüfer Yanya for another stunning collection of songs, and one Simon has hinted could be the last Bonobo record in its traditional format. On today's episode, Simon joins the podcast to discuss the making of Distance in Static and his process when sampling field recordings, why he feels this album marks the end of Bonobo as it currently exists, and how his varied musical past led him to making electronic music.

Our guest this week is Julia Jacklin. The Australian singer and songwriter has built one of the most devoted followings in indie music off the back of three critically acclaimed albums, two ARIA Awards, and a gift for emotionally sharp lyricism that connects in a way very few artists manage. Tomorrow she releases The Gem, her fourth record, made for the first time at home in Melbourne with a close cohort of collaborators. It's a beautiful indie rock album that explores the tension between freedom and love. On today's episode, Julia joins us to talk about the experience of recording an album right above one of her favourite pubs, the vulnerability of songwriting and what it means to make music as a woman in 2026, and how she sits with and acknowledges each new record as it goes out into the world.

On today's episode, Amelia and Nick join us to discuss the making of ow∞  and how experimentation shaped these sessions, the community of musicians and songwriters who came through the studio, how a Sigur Rós sample ended up on the record, and the challenges of touring for artists in 2026.

The Sydney songwriter, musician and novelist has spent over two decades releasing music that has earned her five ARIA nominations, a devoted following, and a reputation as one of Australian indie folk's most distinctive voices. Last week, after a nine year gap, she returned with Normal Magic, a record about finding wonder in the everyday and the ordinary, and one that sees Holly evolving her sound and introducing new sonic elements. On today's episode, Holly joins us to discuss the new direction on Normal Magic and her decision to push her sound somewhere new, the complexity of making and releasing a record as an independent artist in 2026, and what it looks like to bring these songs to life in a live setting.

This week they return with Karaoke Bar, recorded across Greece, France and Australia, including in the home of Leonard Cohen. On today's episode, Julia joins us to discuss the duo's commitment to making music on their own terms and the new sonic direction on Karaoke Bar, the experience of recording in Leonard Cohen's house, and her songwriting insights from making this record.

Our guests this week are Tiny Habits. The folk pop trio of Cinya Khan, Maya Rae and Judah Mayowa met at Boston's Berklee School of Music and quickly built a devoted following after their heavenly harmonies went viral across social media, with collaborations alongside Lizzy McAlpine, Kacey Musgraves and Holly Humberstone cementing their reputation as one of the most exciting young acts around. This week they return with Keepers, a sophomore record that holds onto their signature stacked harmonies and gorgeous arrangements while pushing into new sonic territory, weaving in elements of yacht rock, folk pop and more. On today's episode, Cinya, Maya and Judah return to the podcast to discuss the making of Keepers and the decision to expand their sound, how Matty Healy from The 1975 came to feature on the record, and whether Australian fans might be seeing them live sooner than they think.

Our guest this week is Vera Blue. The Sydney pop singer and songwriter has spent close to a decade building one of Australian music's most devoted followings, from the double-platinum success of Perennial in 2017 through to 2022's Mercurial, racking up over 500 million streams and a celebrated collaboration with Flume along the way. Last week she released Modern Rituals, her third studio album and most sonically adventurous record to date, stepping into a more electronic and visceral creative space. On today's episode, Vera Blue joins us on the podcast to discuss the soundscape across Modern Rituals, the constant evolution of her songwriting, and how this album became the moment where Celia discovered that she and Vera Blue are more the same person than she'd previously believed.
