MLS084: Weird Music That's Cool ft. Elle Shimada & Abbey Howlett w/ Aaron Choulai

  Elle Shimada and Abbey Howlett are multi-hyphenate musicians, producers, curators, longtime collaborators and much more. They both come from tremendously interesting backgrounds and found each other within Melbourne's flourishing music community. We caught up to both of them during their Japan tour thanks to the homie, Aaron Choulai. Together, Abbey and Elle, are third of the Elle Shimada Collective, a 6-piece band. Outside of that they both have separate projects and are also working on a new collaborative project. In this recording we hear an early version of a track they're working on and share some music already available online. We also get into a lot of other discussions such as Melbournes music scene and operating as women in that community, Australian artists emerging within the the global music space, defining music with genre titles, our favorite Bjork albums, why Aaron Choulai is so awesome, and weird music that's cool. Elle Shimada and Abbey Howlett are incredible. Check them out on Instagram and give them all the likes. instagram.com/elleshimada instagram.com/abbey_howlett ropeadope.com @MEGALATESHOW EVERYTHING
