My Favourite Elliott Smith Song

Joining us for episode three of the season is Greg Mendez. Greg is a musician based in Philadelphia, who began making music in 2006. Although he had been playing for some time already, it was the success of Greg's 2023 self-titled album that brought him greater recognition. After releasing that album he also joined the Dead Oceans label, which he then released his EP First Time/Alone under.  Like many others, I got to know his music after hearing his self-titled record and became a big fan, so it was great to have this opportunity to speak to him.  Hope you enjoy it!

We're back! And joining us for a brand new season is musician and actor, Elliott Fullam. Elliott is known for his acting work in the films Terrifier 2 and Terrifier 3, as well as the Apple TV show Get Rolling with Otis. He's also a solo artist and releases music under his own name. Elliott is our first guest to be named after Elliott Smith, so we couldn't think of anyone better to kick off our new season.

Joining us for the final episode of the season are Will Taylor and Nick Hill of Flyte. Will and Nick are very talented songwriters based in London. As Flyte, they have released three studio albums so far - with their most recent record, called Flyte, coming out towards the end of last year. They've also worked with some well-known names too, including the likes of Madison Cunningham, Laura Marling and the actor Florence Pugh. We first saw Will was an Elliott Smith fan when he listed the Elliott self-titled album as one of his all-time favourites. We then got in touch to set up this interview, which Nick very kindly joined. In it, we discuss that self-titled record, what Elliott Smith might have been like at school and their favourite song pick - which they seemed to both agree on without ever discussing it. Hope you enjoy listening to it!

Joining us today is Claire Rousay. Claire is a musician and composer based in Los Angeles. She describes her work as 'emo ambient' and is just preparing to release a new album, Sentiment, which is out later in April 2024. The record is a follow-up to Claire's last studio album Everything Perfect Is Already Here, which came out in 2022. Claire says she listens to Elliott Smith at least four days a week and, in this interview, we talk about her and her partner's shared Elliott passion, her song choice (which is a track we've never covered on the podcast before) and her 'what would Elliott do' approach to navigating the ethics of the music industry.
