The 1975 on Zane Lowe

The 1975

The 1975 talked with Zane Lowe about “Happiness” and working with Jack Antonoff:

“I love Jack’s work, and those Lana [Del Rey] records, in particular, like, some of my favorite stuff. So we were talking about that. We became friends talking about production and what I was doing and what he was wanting to do and what I was wanting to do. And then I kind of just thought, ‘Well, this is like a really nice new energy.’ I don’t… because we are so closed, me and George [Daniel], we’ve always been so closed. “Why don’t you like come down to the studio and see what happens?” And then he did. And, then, ever since, we were just great, great friends.”

Spotify Podcasters Are Making $18,000 a Month With White Noise

Ashley Carman, writing for Bloomberg:

People on the prowl for a new podcast to consume often go for a stimulating option like a political debate or a true crime mystery to quicken the pulse. But when the din of the world becomes too much, listeners often need the opposite vibe: something soothing and sedating, maybe with the sound of static or falling rain. Perhaps a touch of crickets. 

Enter — quietly, on tippy-toes — the white noise podcasters.
