Tim sits down with Connor Fitzgerald, the drummer and mixing engineer for the Berlin-based instrumental outfit Lords of Lounge. Following the May 2026 release of their highly anticipated third album, Lords of Lounge 3, Connor discusses the band's evolution from an accidental hotel lobby gig to a masterclass in minimalistic, lo-fi recording.

Simon Van Gend – Dream I’m A Bird

Monday, February 16, 2026 • Duration 25:08

Tim sits down with veteran songwriter and artist Simon van Gend to discuss his 2025 album, Dream I’m A Bird. After a decade-long hiatus since his last release, Simon reveals how a high-pressure “song-a-week” challenge in 2017 provided the raw material for an album that took nearly eight years to mature. We dive into the “musical archaeology” of his writing process, the respectful listening culture of Cape Town’s best venues, and why sometimes, the best album art is the piece you’ve already painted.

After a decade in the South African indie scene, John discusses his return to his rock-and-roll roots, the profound influence of the South African landscape on his songwriting, and the “brotherhood” that defines his new lineup.
