Julie Byrne Talks with Lætitia Tamko (Vagabon) for the Talkhouse Podcast

Listen to an incredible conversation between two of the breakout artists of 2017, recorded backstage at Pitchfork Music Festival.

8:00 AM EDT on August 16, 2018

On this week's episode of the Talkhouse Podcast, another of the incredible conversations recorded backstage at Pitchfork Music Festival 2018: a talk between two of the breakout artists of 2017, Julie Byrne and Vagabon’s Lætitia Tamko.

Fresh off a national co-headline tour, the friends sat down backstage to discuss the physical and the metaphysical elements of self-care on the road; the often delicate symbiosis of creating art and managing one’s business; the pressures of creating new music when people are watching; and that one guy in the front row in St Louis. Fuck that guy.
