Inside the Sonic Dorm: A Conversation with Whitney Tai (American Wasteland)

Max Davallo Episode 81

From my Sonic Dorm to Yours…

On this episode of Sonic Dorms, I reconnect with Whitney Tai — an artist whose music continues to defy boundaries and evolve with fearless honesty.

Her brand-new album, American Wasteland, marks a bold new chapter: an emotionally charged, cinematic work that captures the tension between beauty and chaos, resilience & ruin.

In our conversation, Whitney opens up about the stories behind American Wasteland, the creative rebirth that shaped it, and how her sound has transformed since our last talk.
