    Youbet Interview

    Today's episode finds us mid-brunch, mid-tour with youbet — Nick Llobet and Micah Prussack, joined by Jolie Gordon and Adam Berkowitz — walking through their self-titled record from top to bottom. It's been a whirlwind year for the band, so we dive into how it reshaped and untangled them while writing the record, living "Undefined," and the riff they stole from a cut track to close the whole thing out. Catch Youbet again in Toronto for the Second Summer Festival!~~~> Sept 24 @ Drake Underground. Full transcript available here!

    On friendships and forgiveness as a daily practice rather than a one-time thing

    Hikes Interview

    It has been a long time coming for Hikes to release new music. In every way, Winnower finds them stripped down to the truest version of themselves — built around the folk practice of separating grain from chaff. It's a record that lives in a meditative space where questions of belonging, of place, and of vulnerability slowly come into focus. This week, Nay and Chris of Hikes walk us through Winnower track by track, and talk about how their time away transformed not just their sound, but the way they hold the work altogether.

    Shaking Hand Interview

    One of our favourite albums of 2026 was released only 16 days into the year. 6 months in and we're still just as captivated by it as the day we first listened. That album was Shaking Hand by Shaking hand and this week we're joined by the band as we talk through the record track by track. A shaking hands doesn't mean losing control and the Manchester-based band proves it on the debut album that drift in and out of time, fall apart, and come back together, all while sounding completely sure of themselves. The band is George Hunter on vocals and guitar, Freddie Hunter on drums, and Ellis Hodgkiss on bass. Visit our website for the full episode transcript, and more!

    Taupe Interview

    Taupe is a shimmering four-piece from Montreal whose debut record New Window arrived this spring. We caught up with Andrew Miller, Heather Ogilvie, Jess Barry, and Evan Magoni before their show at the Cameron House, during one of the first warm Toronto afternoons to talk about the multitude of pieces tucked into this record. It feels like a free association conversation of thought, from Cosmic Crisp apples, the authorship of "Truly Authentic," to life being restructured into a song- and most importantly of all, where on earth Pasta No 1 and 2 are. If you're a longtime friend of Absent Sounds, this is a really cool episode not only because of the music, but because its actually our third time talking to Evan and Andrew for the show. Whew! New Window is out now. Listen wherever you get your music. Full episode transcript and more on our website.

    Tiberius Interview

    Brendan Wright has been making music as Tiberius for the better part of a decade, quietly, in bedrooms and basements in Allston-Brighton, and then slowly, with a merry band of friends-turned-family. Troubadour is a record about love, loss, and limerence in between. About the specific shame that gets baked into you before you have the language for it, and the ways we measure ourselves against false scaled. By the time we spoke, the record already felt like it was made by someone they'd slightly outgrown. And by the time this has reached you, probably even more so. But that distance didn't make the record any less true. If anything, it made it more.
