LA Singer/songwriter Leslie
Stevens joins me to chat about Neutral
Milk Hotel's classic 1998 album 'In The Aeroplane Over the
Sea'. We talk about The Diary of Anne Frank and it's influence on
the album, authenticity in music and innocence lost. We unpack our
teenage superiority complexes and debate whether genre labels are
essential in the music world.
Leslie plays us an impromptu rendition of Norwegian Wood on
her saw and we discuss vulnerability in song writing, whether
'Aeroplane Over the Sea' has dated and the album's hipster
following.
