Josaleigh Pollett Interview

We are hours away from the last day of summer. Outside, the cicadas are dying, but they seem to have taken up a new home racketing around inside my brain. Dealing with clogged ear canals and a surge of internal tinnitus has made me feel that my universe will never truly be quiet. On this episode of Absent Sounds, we explore how Josaleigh manages to capture that external noise, machines, and physical distance to speak with a deep vulnerability. Together, we go track-by-track through If I Let It Quiet by the Salt Lake City native. The record is a testament to collaborating across massive distance after their production partner, Jordan Watko (Crowd Shy), relocated to Japan. We talk creating otherworldly "third spaces," reimagining friendship, and studio accidents that morph into core meanings across the album. Full transcript available here.
