Rachel Goswell (Slowdive) Talks with Michelle Zauner (Japanese Breakfast) for the Talkhouse Music Podcast

The two trade secrets about their upcoming albums and tours.

Slowdive's Rachel Goswell and Michelle Zauner of Japanese Breakfast are mutual fans of each other’s dreamy music. As their bands gear up to tour the US together, we thought it the perfect time to pair these two on The Talkhouse Music Podcast. Their chat covers the vicissitudes of Goswell’s professional and personal relationship with Neil Halstead over the decades, how Slowdive relearned old material via fan videos on YouTube, nerding out on gear, and exciting new details about Slowdive and Japanese Breakfast’s upcoming LPs. Check it out, and subscribe now on iTunes or Stitcher to stay in the loop on future Talkhouse podcasts.
— Elia Einhorn, Talkhouse Music Podcast host and producer

Today's episode was recorded by Mark Yoshizumi and Rachel Goswell and mixed by Mark Yoshizumi.
