WREX - "Everyone's cosplaying as an adult"

Mae and George of WREX join me for a conversation about vulnerability, emotional release, and letting songs be imperfect on purpose.We talk about writing and recording their new EP Sad World, keeping first takes, resisting perfection, and how playing live reshaped their confidence. Together, we dive into spoken-word moments from their own music, the feeling of emotional numbness, and what it means to “own” your emotions without blaming yourself.We also explore lyrics by Billie Eilish, Noah Kahan, and Gregory Alan Isakov, touching on uncertainty, growing up without clear answers, and the pressure to have life figured out.
