#39 Jen Cloher

Seja talks to her guest Jen Cloher about what made her first love music, how nostalgia makes her emotional and why she started pursuing music instead of acting. They chat about how important vulnerability is in songwriting, the relatability of lyrics that tell a clear narrative, gender identity and sexism in music. Jen tells seja about how she keeps songwriting fresh with different tunings, mixing in Wilco’s studio and her feelings about handing over the reins of Milk Records. Jen’s story is illustrated by Jen sholakis (Drummer in Jen Cloher’s band and East Brunswick All Girls Choir). All illustrations can be viewed on instagram @hearsejpodcast or on the HearSej Facebook page
