- hostNote
- Garvie is a friend and collaborator, and this conversation runs like one: DIY production, songwriting, and the mask he performs behind. We talk about how his current project found its identity after a lot of false starts, and why getting a song out the door matters more than getting it perfect. Garvie walks through what pushed him toward performing in a mask, and the different mindset mixing takes when it's your own song versus someone else's; he prefers a direct, present sound over heavy reverb. He closes out talking about two upcoming records, different from each other in vibe and theme.
