Morning Glory with Sofia

We had a pretty stacked show on Morning Glory today. Elle spoke with Jasmine.4.t about her debut album 'You Are The Morning,' which was produced by the members of Boy Genius. We then listen back to a chat with Buck Raines about his album 'Blunt Objects' a fun yet, at times, mysterious collection of sounds to sink your teeth into. Intrigued? Listen Back!

Filling in for Sof this morning!

"I like to hone in on being excited. If something excites you in the moment, that's a situation you have to pursue"

Producer, instrumentalist, and singer Pachyman joins Sofia on Morning Glory in anticipation of his return to New Zealand, with shows from Auckland to Lyttleton.

Pachy spoke about how he came to find his recognisable reggae dub sound from his roots of playing in reggae and post rock bands in Puerto Rico and later influenced by his move to LA.

Lately, it's been about expression: in performance, chord pickings, and laying down a drum-centric foundation to create a "mantra-esque" atmosphere to enjoy existence in that moment.

Pachy drops names of influence such as King Tubby, Victor Axelrod, his time playing with The Expanders, using an old board from Lee "Scratch" Perry, and memories with his wife in Puerto Rican mountains that inspired the synth heavy track: "Toyota Nuevo". 

Catch Pachyman at the Wine Cellar, 27th Feb in Auckland!

Today on Morning Glory, Elle plays a slew of songs loosely inspired by Sex and the City. She is briefly joined by Tuesday Morning Glory host Sof! It's a great time, full of music that will get you off your feet by CSS, Mim Jensen and Fabiana Palladino. Plus, who doesn't love 'More, More, More' by Andrea True Connection a special request fresh from the text machine.
