Music Now podcast: Kai Reesu on their SAY Award win and songwriting process

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, we're joined by two members of the Scottish Album of the Year-winning group Kai Reesu. Paul Copeland and Jurnalist sat down with us to talk about the impact of their SAY win, the way their music comes together, and the process that's going into their forthcoming new album. We also get some of Paul's voice notes as he outlines the showertime beatboxing behind some of the tracks on KOMPROMAT vol. 1. Listen to the episode in the player below, or via Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or YouTube.
