In this special episode, all four artists from the upcoming Heart of Darkness tour gather in the Cotswolds to talk about what they're building together. Hana and Mishkin are joined by Catherine Elms and Taylor from Emberhoney for a conversation about female friendship in music, the power of community over competition, and why human-made art matters more than ever. They trace their connections back to the Indie Noir nights in 2015, discuss how supporting each other's work has shaped their creative lives, and share which songs from the group have been speaking to them lately. This is a conversation about what happens when artists choose collaboration over the industry's manufactured scarcity, and why that choice feels urgent right now.
