I'm back in the Poncho studios with Alex Leahy.
Hello.
It's good to have you back here in front of this green screen of possibility.
You got a new album, you got your first album coming out.
Yeah, I have a new album coming out.
Yes, the album coming out.
It's called I Love You Like A Brother.
Do you have a brother?
I do.
And do [C#] you love him?
Yes.
Okay, [F#] well that makes sense.
The video for Every Day is a Weekend.
You have really great, funny, weird videos.
Oh, thank you.
In the video you work a variety of crappy jobs.
Is this based on real [C#] experience?
Is this method acting?
Have you worked in these crappy jobs before?
I haven't worked at a pickle factory before.
My two first jobs actually weren't that bad.
The first one was at a video store, which was actually really fun.
I was 15 and we'd just watch Arrested Development and eat zombie juice.
It was great.
The job I had after that was at a bookstore.
I was so at the bottom of the pecking order [G] at this place and have these vivid memories
of [E] carrying these [B] massive [F#] cardboard boxes full of hardback Jamie Oliver recipe books
[B] with Jamie Oliver staring back up at me from the box and I was like, why [E] are you doing
this to me?
A lot of your lyrics seem to be about everyday [F#] experiences and [A] regular life, if there is
such a thing.
Is there a reason you tend to zone in on quite relatable everyday experiences [E] instead of
dragons or something?
[G#] Yeah, some people do do that, which is cool. Yeah.
[E] But
No diss to the dragon.
[D#] Yeah, dragon away.
I think it's just because I just like to write [G] about what I know and how things make me [E] feel.
Really it's me not going out of my way to be relatable at all, it's just being honest
about how I [C#] feel.
Sure.
And generally, a lot of other people are going to feel the same way too.
There's an undercurrent in your lyrics as well of a sort of quarter-life crisis.
Do you think you are either going through one or have gone through one?
I actually think I'm going through one.
Okay.
Totally.
Oh my god, I was having this conversation [F#] with a friend last night.
[C#] And she said this really funny thing.
She was just like, what are you even supposed to be doing in your mid-twenties?
Are we [F#] supposed to be sitting here figuring our shit out?
Are we supposed [A] to be with the person that we were [C#] with in high school?
Are we supposed [B] to be in some relationship that's two years [F#m] old and it's already gone
stale, but [C#m] you're keeping it going for the sake of [E] it?
Are you supposed to be sleeping around?
[F#m] Are you supposed to be [C#m] just not concerned about [B] dating anyone at all?
[F#] In my EP, people were like, oh, it's this early twenties [E] uni sort of thing.
I was [G#m] kind of like, oh, then what?
Then what am I supposed to [E] do?
But now that I've entered this next part of my twenties, it's just as fucked.
How do you think you'll turn out as an older musician?
Do [F] you think you'll go through that country crooner kind of phase?
My band always jokes, they're like, I just got this jacket.
And they're like, first album denim jacket, second album weather jacket.
[G#] Like third album suede with tassels.
It's like, what's going to happen?
Do you feel you've put this together under more expectation [A] than any of your previous
work and has that, [C#m] I guess, affected [B] how you go through the process?
[A] I feel like it's still [C#m] the start, [E] you know, like I don't feel that I [F#] have to live up to anything.
I think [F#m] that if any artist was looking back on an [B] EP and being like,
shit, [E] what am I going to do next?
It's like five songs.
It's like, how many songs are you going to write in your life?
I mean, like in the grand scheme [F#] of things, like [A] I haven't really done anything yet.
If you look at [B] how big the world of music is, I'm still [A] like,
[C#m] and like, you know, most [E] people like, we're just like a little [F#] like fleck in [A] that, in that [C#] fabric.
But it's also really good [B] because it means that you can just sort of like,
[A] be that [E] fleck.
Be the fleck.
Be the fleck.
Embrace the fleck.
