Episode 1: Lily Seabird

Season 1 · Episode 1

Tuesday, September 8, 2026 • Duration 01:05:05

After making a name for herself in the burgeoning indie-rock scene of Burlington, Vermont, Lily Seabird's profile is very much on the rise. Her new album, Lightspheres on Their Way, is her best work yet, a raw and sprawling collection of songs that sound like they were made by a person who had no choice but to make them. It'll appeal to

I had the chance to speak with Lily a few weeks ago from her home in Burlington the day before she and her band were heading to Europe for some shows. We spoke about all sorts of things:

The music community in Burlington
Songwriting as a way of life rather than merely a coping tool
The different mindsets required for songwriting vs. recording
Learning to tour in a healthy, sustainable way
Addiction and the role substances do or do not play in creativity
Imposter Syndrome
Feeling like we live in unprecedented times but maybe not, actually
And, of course, lightspheres

Physical copies of the record are available now, and it's streaming on Bandcamp, with a wider digital release set for October.
