So Young 60

Z: I think Nina's just got a very distinct voice that she uses in her writing, and that's just something that was there from the beginning and probably won't be going away anytime soon.

We've also been struggling with a ton of venues closing in the last couple years, so we have some really great events that happen but it's not like there's always a tonne of music and touring acts stopping in Burlington. We're just lucky we have a lot of creative friends who are awesome and supportive here.

N: It's some of the things that I'm drawn to processing. Some of the songs on 'Two Wheels Move the Soul' are about more specific minute little things - it's kind of neurotic, in a way - the song 'Talkback' is about stewing in your own head and more pinpointed. Then there's some more macro lens songs - I feel like 'The Sound it Made' is very much a collage of a lot of different things.

In the year after releasing 'Wild Guess' you toured quite extensively, and you have a big tour in a few months for the release of 'Two Wheels Move the Soul'. How have you found playing the experimental nature of your music live?

I was lucky enough to listen to your album before its release, and initially my favourite track is 'New Year's Eve' - could you tell me some backstory on the track?

N: We love playing live, I feel like when we're writing songs we write them a lot with the idea of the live show. in mind. Some of the stuff on this next record is a little bit trickier with double lead vocals or some insane guitar sounds, so we've been trying to troubleshoot exactly how we can make it translate live - but I'm feeling pretty confident that it will be cool.

Z: It started out as the four of us jamming that song out spontaneously, I happened to be recording on my phone and the two of us went and made a demo inspired by the voice memo with arrangements. It had been pretty quick and natural, as soon as we made a beat that was very East coast boom-bap Nina just knew exactly what to do with the vocals.

Who are your artistic and musical inspirations for Robber Robber?

Z: Mostly things you would see physically in the real world, not just things you consume on your phone or computer. I feel like we're mostly inspired by road signs, or billboards, or stickers on the side of a dumpster or something like that.

N: Yeah, when you made the boom-bap beat, I knew this one's got to be more of the monotone, almost rap-like delivery. That was the first song we'd ever written that was more along those lines, and I remember it was really hard to figure out a vocal part I'd be really confident with I feel like that one pushed my comfort zone a lot. Now it's one of my favourites on the record too, I'm really excited about it.

N: Zack and I do most of the art ourselves, and a lot of it tends to be incredibly collaborative as well, we end up bouncing back and forth off of each other a lot and I think that puts things in a different place that either of us would have necessarily ended up on on our own.

Z: I feel like we have the most success from steering away from whatever would be the natural thing to do, and 'New Year's Eve' is an example of that.

What else is in store for you in 2026 after your new release at the start of the year?

Could you tell me what the music scene in Burlington is like?

N: We want to tour as much as we can, we just love going out and playing. I love meeting other bands and being on the road. I feel really grateful that our band is a band that really fucks with touring - touring is really hard, and a crazy emotional and physical task to do, but so far we all still really love doing it so we're just hoping to be out there. I hope people connect with the record, and we're writing more already too - I'm excited to keep it coming.

N: It's great, we have a lot of friends who are making amazing music out of here. We all went to college together and started these bands, and I think we all motivated each other to go for it and start booking our own DIY tours together. Lily Seabird and Greg Freeman are two of our best friends who are also in amazing musical acts that are nationally and internationally touring now.
