95bFM Drive with HALFQUEEN

James Krivchenia of Big Thief chats to Sof about their sixth studio album together, Double Infinity. Off the back of their 2022 Grammy-nominated record, Dragon New Warm Mountain I Believe in You, Double Infinity is the first record since long-time member and bassist Max Oleartchik left in 2024. Together, James and Sof discuss the collaborative recording process of the album, reconfiguring their approach together as a trio, and the intuitivity that comes from closeness to one another after years of making music together. 

Elle spoke with Catherine (vocals/guitar) and Adam Cooper (guitar), of Alison's Halo, about their brilliant compilation album Eyedazzler (1998), and their latest singles Happy and So Far Away. A dreamy, shoegaze sound is complimented by Catherine's misty vocals. Lyrically complex, the transportational 90-minute album is worth a listen from start to finish. And so is this interview, so listen back. 

Featuring Stage Direction with the castmembers of Mother Play showing next month at Silo Theatre, Baby Zionov and Brad of Créme Jéan phone in to yarn about their free show at Public Bar this Thursday and new music. Later, Peter Lineham phones in for your weekly dose of That's The Spirit, and then Em is in the studio for a yarn about new music and her just-released track Lucky Star.
