TPOE 257: Whenyoung

Whenyoung are Aoife Power and Andrew Flood, and they've just released their second album Paragon Songs, via AntiFragile Music. Formerly UK based, I caught them in transit on the move back to the west of Ireland. We talk about hype and major labels, why they're moving home, finding their voice through music, supporting Nick Cave, and lots more. Aoife says: "Every step is a new time in your existence and noting it down marks it, celebrates it and reveals you to yourself. These lyrics represent who I am right now or who I've been the past year or two. My intention is to like myself and be kinder to myself. And so I can only present myself in the state that I am currently in which is healing not healed."
