Not Every Song Has to Hurt | Episode 3

Full Takes, Mistakes, and the Internet | Episode 7

Emma’s music often starts alone on the floor with a guitar in a strange tuning, and somehow ends up in rooms full of people who all feel like the songs were written about their own lives. In this episode of Low Tide, we talk about building a fake bedroom set to film an album across one sleepless night, what it feels like when your diary slowly becomes a live show that thousands of people are watching, and how very specific stories somehow become universal once you put them into a song.This conversation is about mistakes, authenticity, and what it means to try to stay human while making music on the internet.

Zombie Orgies, Hinge Dates & a Fake Record Label | Episode 6

In this episode of Low Tide, we sit down with Boys Go To Jupiter for a conversation that’s as chaotic, funny, and heartfelt as their music, diving into their origin story from a now-legendary Hinge date to becoming a fully realized band, how early belief and collaboration shaped their trajectory, and what their songwriting process actually looks like behind the scenes. We unpack the creative vision behind their cinematic short films, reflect on childhood and memory, and talk through the highs and growing pains of touring, hitting milestones, and realizing just how deeply people are connecting to the world they’re building. Along the way, we get into their unique fan engagement, chaotic band chemistry, competitive admiration, and behind-the-scenes stories like zombie orgies, breaking into Dave & Buster’s with a camera, and more.

Why He Records Albums With 40 People Around Him | Episode 5

Why Finishing Never Feels Like Enough | Episode 4

Darryl grew up in a small town in upstate New York where most of his musical education happened in cars, driving around listening to CDs and imagining different lives. In this episode of Low Tide, we talk about road trips, meeting your heroes, the discipline required to make art your life, and the strange emptiness that can show up right after you finish something you cared about for a long time.This conversation is about creative restlessness, the strange reality that sometimes making things feels better than having made them, and the realization that you might spend your whole life chasing that feeling.

Not Every Song Has to Hurt | Episode 3

Susie and I talk about growing up surrounded by art, leaving New York, finding herself in Chicago, and what happens after the structure of school disappears and you’re left to define “home” and “self” on your own. We talk about what happens when songs stop being therapy and start becoming something looser and more playful, and about learning to let songs tell stories instead of guarding them too closely.
