84. Basia Bulat - Live From the Palace

In this episode, we get to meet singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist Basia Bulat. Basia just released a brand new album - the lovely Basia's Palace - in February, and in this conversation, we go deep into it. The process of making it (which included a mostly-remote workflow with producer Tucker Martine), the themes, the desires for this project, and more. We also take a dive into the world of video games, especially old games and their beautiful midi soundtracks, which were a surprising touchstone for Bulat on this LP. (Paging fans of Final Fantasy, Chrono Trigger, and the like!) We take time to mention U.S. Girls, too, a band that Bulat has been associated with for years. It's a fun, free-flowing conversation, full of gratitude and love and good vibes, if I do say so myself. Thank you for listening.
