Kacy Hill
Our guest today on the podcast is songwriter, producer, and musician Kacy Hill. The Arizona-born, LA-based artist has had one of the most fascinating evolutions in modern music: starting out in hip-hop, collaborating with the likes of Travis Scott and Kid Cudi, before pivoting into critically acclaimed indie pop and rock. Now, Kacy is embracing a vivid new chapter, leaning into country-tinged storytelling with her upcoming EP But Anyway, No Worries!, due out August 27. Its lead single, “The Garden,” is a stunning portrait of heartbreak and a powerful introduction to this new era. In today’s episode, we chat with Kacy about what drew her toward this sound, the creative threads that connect her genre-spanning work, and how she stays grounded in her identity as an artist. We also talk about finding inspiration outside of music, the realities of touring as an independent act in 2025, and why embracing “cringe” is a necessary step on the path to growth.

Since forming in 2005, they’ve captured hearts around the world with their emotive songwriting and cinematic storytelling, soaring to fame through the 2007 film Once, which earned them an Academy Award for “Falling Slowly” and inspired a Tony-winning Broadway musical.

Surprise Chef
Our guest today is Australian jazz-funk collective Surprise Chef. The Melbourne-based instrumental five-piece make lush, cinematic music that channels the spirit of 1970s funk, soul, and jazz while carving out a sound entirely their own. With global support from outlets like BBC Radio 6 and Double J—and co-signs from Questlove and DJ Nu-Mark—the band have become known for their immersive live shows and richly textured recordings. In May, they released their fourth album Superb—a groove-laden, exploratory record that sees the group leaning into a looser, more instinctive songwriting process. In today’s episode, guitarist and songwriter Lachlan Stuckey joins us to talk about the making of Superb, the decision to relax their usual songwriting process, and how the band captures that same spirit on stage. We also get into the music that’s inspiring him right now.
