Being a fox or a hedgehog, with Molly Rankin from Alvvays, Tracyanne Campbell, Mac DeMarco and Molly Nilsson.
Molly grew up in a musical family on the remote island of Cape Breton in Nova Scotia in Canada. Her father was a professional folk musician, and she started writing music with her neighbour Kerri MacLellan as a teenager. She met the rest of the band members and formed Alvvays in 2011. They won the Juno Award for Alternative Album of the Year in 2018, and last October released our third album 鈥楤lue Rev鈥�.
She is joined by group of musicians from the worlds of trans-Atlantic indie and synth pop.
First up is a singer from Glasgow who formed the band Camera Obscura in 1996.Their first album was released in 2001 and was produced by Stuart Murdoch of Belle& Sebastian. They gained a cult following and have released 5 LPs to date. She鈥檚 also one half of Tracyanne & Danny with Danny Coughlan. It鈥檚 Tracyanne Campbell.
Next up, it鈥檚 a Canadian dude that the New York Times once described as the 鈥渓ovable laid-back Prince of Indie Rock鈥�. His latest album Five Easy Hot Dogs, came out earlier this year and was recorded during a road trip from Los Angeles to New York. It鈥檚 Mac Demarco.
And finally, a Berlin-by-way-of-Sweden synth-pop singer. She produces and performs all her music solo, is determined to find magic in the everyday, and released her tenth album Extreme last year. It鈥檚 Molly Nilsson.
Together they talk about whether or not you need to be social to make your best work, whether you鈥檙e a creative fox or a hedgehog, and how much of yourself to expose in your work.
After the news, Tracyanne Campbell will be taking us through a playlist she鈥檚 called Inspiration In Motion, a collection of songs for driving to, featuring tracks from Dion, Paul Simon, The Cookies and more.
