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.

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.
