This Song Is Yours
Jay Som
Our guest this week on the podcast is Jay Som, the musical project of LA–based songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and producer Melina Duterte. After three beloved albums and early tours with the likes of Paramore and Mitski, Melina stepped back from Jay Som in 2020, spending the past six years honing her craft behind the scenes and producing major indie records, including boygenius’ the record and Lucy Dacus’ Forever Is a Feeling. Last month, she returned with Belong, her fourth Jay Som album - a glowing evolution that pushes her sound from lo-fi beginnings into expansive indie rock, and features guest appearances from Jim Adkins and Hayley Williams. On today’s episode, we talk about the influence of 2000s indie rock, share some gentle Death Cab for Cutie fandom, and dive into how the Hayley Williams collaboration came together.
