Ahead of his first solo album in over a decade, Hirway talks about turning the lens on himself, collaborating with Iron & Wine, and making In the Last Hour of Light
Fantastic interview! Now I’m doubly excited to hear his new album. And what a great bunch of people to collaborate with. It’s interesting how doing the TV show and having to relinquish power or at least control, likely influenced the making of this album.
Right? This was a really interesting “turn” for me. When I posed this question I thought I had an idea where the answer would go, but it went the other way.
Song Exploder was the first podcast I ever listened to like 10 years ago! I listen to way more podcasts today, and it's still in my rotation. "Crystalised" by the xx has been lightly stuck in my head since listening to last week's episode about it. Great convo here!
