Optimist

The Big Mates discuss gadget shops, residencies, the Warped Tour,
and Optimist by FINNEAS.

Adam, Steve, and Lucas briefly sojourn back to the career of
Billie Eilish by taking in the additional context of the
work of her co-writer and brother, FINNEAS. They talk
about the writing and recording process of his debut full-length
solo album, Optimist, the context surrounding the songs,
and offer up analysis, opinions, and thoughts from three
differing perspectives on music, from being deeply into analysis
and music, to not caring for art or critique, and everything in
between.

They also do a quick catch up on what Billie has been up to since
the beginning of the year.

How does Finneas' work influence and inform the music of Billie
Eilish? What has Billie been up to? Does a dog play piano? Find
out on this episode of What Is Music?
