The Finneas Episode

Episode Description from the Publisher

Finneas comes over to hang. We talk about working with Billie and making music with Benny, including how some songs come together in like 15 minutes. We get into anxiety and perfectionism, from childhood separation stuff to getting stuck in your head in the studio, and what it feels like when something clicks vs when you’re forcing it. We overshare a bit about our families and fears. Finneas hops on the keyboard, we start making up songs on the spot, and it somehow settles into chill, rainy day music vibes. Thanks for watching - we respect you!
