The Thin Air

In this season finale, we meet Laurie Shaw, who has been producing albums at near-record breaking numbers for many many years. We chat about his approach to DIY recording, how he visualises his albums, and trying not to be worried about it too much. thethinair.net/2025/07/the-th…

In episode 4 of the podcast, we talk to Philip Christie of @The_Bonk_Music about their song 'Future 87'. We hear about how the song evolved from a 4-Track Tape jam in 2017, and examine the limitations and creative decisions that shaped the recording. thethinair.net/2025/07/the-th…

For the second episode of this year's Thin Air Podcast, we meet "the godfather of lo-fi music" Martin Newell, aka @Cleaners_Venus1. thethinair.net/2025/06/the-th…

After a brief, half-decade hiatus we're delighted to announce The Thin Air podcast has returned for Season 3. This season will have a focus on the creative practice of self-recording artists, and in the first episode, we long-time TTA fave @elaine_howley thethinair.net/2025/06/the-th…
