LA-based indie rock band OK Go join us in the studio for the first time, back with their first album in 11 years: The Adjacent Possible. The band are perhaps best known for their iconic 2006 treadmill video for ‘Here It Goes Again’ — which was really one of the first viral videos, exploding barely a year after the launch of YouTube. They talk about this, the changing landscape of music and the industry, plus we discuss how they’ve continued to push the creative envelope with their videos, eschewing AI in favor of laborious practical effects and mind-expanding, how-the-hell-did-you-do-that concepts. And the mishaps that come along with that.

They reminisce about meeting each other at art camp at age 11, what the DIY scene looked like back then versus now, working with the muppets, doing videos in zero gravity, and the effect of kids on their creativity. Plus their attempts to get hipsters to dance, not to mention singer Damian Kulash taking a break to co-direct Apple TV movie The Beanie Bubble (starring Zach Galifinakis, Elizabeth Banks, and Sarah Snook), plus much, much more.

Back on the sofa for the first time since 2019 — this time without her trenchcoat — Grace WanderWaal joins us for a refreshingly frank conversation about her experiences in the entertainment industry. Now 21, VanderWaal won America’s Got Talent when she was just an improbably precocious, ukulele-toting 12-year-old. She discusses that experience, candidly sharing her feelings as she navigated childhood to early adulthood in the spotlight.

VanderWaal also unpicks the themes in her new album CHILDSTAR, sharing her thoughts on destructive archetypes and oppressive expectations — she’s rewriting her narrative as a newly independent artist, collaborating with the likes of Aliyah’s Interlude, getting playful with alter egos, and channeling the unflinching honesty of artists such as Fiona Apple. She also discusses her thoughts on acting, what it was like working with Francis Ford Coppola in Megalopolis (for which she also contributed two original songs), plus heartbreak, bad tattoos, moving through familial and childhood trauma, her disdain for black and white interpretations in areas that are clearly gray, and so much more.

Wildly talented multi-instrumentalist and songwriter Eddie Benjamin is a solo artist in his own right — check out his latest single ‘MANIAC’ and his 2023 EP ‘Weatherman’ — but he’s also working behind the scenes (and sometimes on stage, in the case of Shawn Mendes) with everyone from Justin Bieber to Willow, RAYE to Meghan Trainor.

The 23-year-old Byron Bay-born artist joins us in the studio to talk about leaving Australia for LA, moving in with Sia and what it’s like to work in her creative orbit, plus his approach to music and improvisation, and why it’s taken a minute to hone in on his forthcoming debut album. Plus he discusses what he learned from working with Willow on her Grammy nominated LP ‘empathogen,’ and the energetic vibes of working with Mike Sabath, Justin Bieber, and the inspirational force that was and always will be Prince.
