Music Now is our Scottish music interview podcast; in each episode we chat to one of our favourite Scottish musicians about their songwriting, the stories behind their sound, and their approach to music. 

This time out we're chatting to Bikini Body – the full complement of the Edinburgh dance-post-punks joined us in the office to discuss their forthcoming and long-awaited debut album and their songwriting process. Along the way, we discuss favourite tracks, the work of John Williams, the best office management software for keeping tabs on your riffs, and embracing the fun side of being in a band.

Listen to the episode in the player below, or via Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or YouTube.
