This fortnight I spoke with Narrm/Melbourne musician, broadcaster, architecture academic, DJ, designer and dear friend of mine, Simona Castricum, on the eve of the release of her new album Villain. [Bandcamp | Vinyl]

I’ve known Simona for over a decade and over that time we’ve worked together on gigs and become great friends, so it was difficult for me to keep the familiarity out of the interview! We talked about influences, lyrics, transmisogyny, design and more. Have a listen:
