    Cam Kahin Interview

    Cam Kahin’s debut album CHUG arrived before he knew he was making an album: a handful of songs written in a sad-boy-stoner haze, then a title that means keep going, no matter how hard it gets. We walk through it track by track. Cam talks about leaving Dunnville for Toronto, a feature recorded across a language barrier, why compliments never stick, the ethics of posting online, and the finished second album he’s never been more excited about. Full interview transcript here. Catch a new episode live every week on CJAM 99.1FM (Windsor/Detroit) and Met Radio (Toronto) Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    Runnner Interview

    When A Welcome Kind of Weakness (Runnner’s sophomore album) came out, it carried all the restlessness of its writing: songs imagined while stuck in bed, unable to move. A year later, is the welcome mat still out? This week, Noah Weinman takes us through the record, we talk the limits of naming things, being halfway home at 2:30 a.m., re-recording old songs, and the LA house where it all began.

    Emily Steinwall Interview

    Emily Steinwall's sophomore album, But, there's beauty in the fall from Grace, runs almost an hour and weaves between grungy art-rock edges and orchestral ballads that ask you to sit down and listen. In this conversation, we talk about how suffering and beauty are not opposites, the meaning behind "No One Wins a War," and the long-winded road to finishing this record. This episode also features a live session we recorded together, stripped down to her voice and a guitar. In many ways, this record is a healing balm. I hope it reaches you where you are!

    Anxious Interview

    Grady Allen of Anxious joins us on a warm afternoon in Riverdale Park before their show to talk through Bambi, the band's energetic, gripping, and deliciously expansive 2025 record. We get into optimism versus cynicism, the shame we carry and try to drown, our collective quarter-life crises and being the villain of your own story. Catch them on the last few dates in their tour this week Sep 30 Varsity Theater, Minneapolis, MN Oct 1 The Rave / Eagles Club Milwaukee, WI or Oct 2 The Majestic Café Detroit, MI Read the full interview transcript here.

    Cherry Pick Interview

    With a voice as sweet as a cherry and jagged layers of guitar ruptures that could pick you up and throw you across a room, Cherry Pick finds us in the incessant unravellings of anxious thoughts, disappointment, and the muddiness of it all. When it comes to artists pushing the scene forward on the west coast, it's hard to miss Cherry Pick. Cherry Pick is a Vancouver based grungy shimmering project of Cherry. In our interview we talk about protecting your peace, conflict, shroom trips, life, love, and death. Catch Cherry Pick again in Toronto for the Second Summer Festival! Full transcript available here!

    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!

    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.
