Calum Hood Talks 5SOS, Heartbreak, and Solo Album ‘ORDER chaos ORDER’
from Zach Sang Show
Calum Hood has always been the quietest, most reticent member of world conquering, chart-topping power-pop band 5 Seconds of Summer, but today we get him on the couch solo — for the first time ever — and it turns out the 29-year-old has plenty to say. His debut solo album ORDER chaos ORDER is an intimate journey during which Hood takes in the whirlwind past 15 years, his first love, his first heartbreak. It’s introspective and it’s raw and it’s the soundtrack to his life. A collaboration with producer and songwriter Jackson Phillips, aka Day Wave, that offers woozy indie sonics, part-Postal Service, part dream-pop and nu-gaze. Hood discusses his out-of-comfort zone process, from the songs he scrapped early on to finally nailing what would become ORDER chaos ORDER. We find out how watching old VHS movies and the 1984 Oscar-nominated documentary Streetwise informed his work. Plus hetalks about the 5SOS bond and the rest of the group’s solo work, making sense of himself through songwriting, the influence of his sister Mali-Koa and her blossoming music career as one half of AR/CO, and so much more.Stream 'ORDER chaos ORDER' ►►https://tinyurl.com/4apemczpSUBSCRIBE to Our Podcast ►►https://tinyurl.com/48yfe4v5SUBSCRIBE to YT ►►https://tinyurl.com/5n8km55uSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
