1
00:00:09.480 --> 00:00:13.519
When I can the mirror dad who's staring back at me.
2
00:00:14.759 --> 00:00:17.359
The world's again clearer.
3
00:00:16.760 --> 00:00:18.519
But it's easier to see.
4
00:00:20.160 --> 00:00:22.519
Hey everybody, I'm Samantha Fish and you're about to hear
5
00:00:22.640 --> 00:00:24.839
a song off mighty record called paper Doll.
6
00:00:25.960 --> 00:00:30.120
Let's do Itana, thanks for joining us today.
7
00:00:30.719 --> 00:00:32.600
Yeah, thank you, my pleasure.
8
00:00:32.679 --> 00:00:35.159
So you released a new album, Pipe Doll on April
9
00:00:35.159 --> 00:00:38.119
to twenty, Like, it's still a little way away, But
10
00:00:38.159 --> 00:00:40.719
how are you feeling is deciding to get to pressure point?
11
00:00:42.039 --> 00:00:42.200
No?
12
00:00:42.280 --> 00:00:45.600
I mean, honestly, oh god, there's there's this weird feeling
13
00:00:45.640 --> 00:00:48.880
when you finish a record, at least for me, I
14
00:00:48.920 --> 00:00:51.000
know every artist feels this way. You know, you're you
15
00:00:51.039 --> 00:00:53.159
walk out of the studio and this giant weight has
16
00:00:53.159 --> 00:00:55.000
been lifted off your shoulders. It's a much you for
17
00:00:55.439 --> 00:00:57.200
when you're done with the record, it's like the pressure
18
00:00:57.280 --> 00:01:00.960
is just like okay, like that's over, thank god, because
19
00:01:01.079 --> 00:01:03.960
it's always fun, but it is like for me, it's
20
00:01:04.000 --> 00:01:06.400
always like this mountain that I have to climb, you know,
21
00:01:06.560 --> 00:01:09.319
to get through it, and it's you know, so it
22
00:01:09.319 --> 00:01:10.840
feels great, but then it feels like you have the
23
00:01:10.959 --> 00:01:13.560
secret that you have to keep for you know. Six
24
00:01:13.680 --> 00:01:16.640
nine months a year they can't share with anybody. So
25
00:01:16.680 --> 00:01:18.920
I finally feel like I'm able to like let.
26
00:01:18.879 --> 00:01:22.239
People in on the little secret. That's that's kind of nice.
27
00:01:22.079 --> 00:01:24.640
Good way looking at it. Can you just rub the
28
00:01:24.680 --> 00:01:26.640
album chimmy from the musical point of view and then
29
00:01:26.680 --> 00:01:27.879
what you're actually going for with it?
30
00:01:29.040 --> 00:01:29.200
Oh?
31
00:01:29.239 --> 00:01:29.840
God?
32
00:01:30.680 --> 00:01:34.400
Well, this record, I wanted to lean into my strengths,
33
00:01:34.439 --> 00:01:36.640
you know, what people might like, what are my super
34
00:01:36.680 --> 00:01:39.439
power makes me different, what's what makes me unique? You know,
35
00:01:40.359 --> 00:01:45.840
leaning into my voice, my guitar, my songwriting. I wanted
36
00:01:45.879 --> 00:01:49.799
to make something that felt urgent, felt like rock and roll,
37
00:01:49.879 --> 00:01:52.079
but was still rooted in the music that I love
38
00:01:52.120 --> 00:01:55.000
and it inspires me, which is like blues music, you know,
39
00:01:55.560 --> 00:01:59.359
uh North Hill country blues specifically. It's a deep well
40
00:01:59.400 --> 00:02:02.079
of inspiration for me. I just wanted to write great
41
00:02:02.079 --> 00:02:06.040
songs and write and record with an urgency that you know,
42
00:02:07.280 --> 00:02:10.000
people would hear it and want to listen again and
43
00:02:10.039 --> 00:02:13.840
again and again. You know, Timeless Records, that's my goal.
44
00:02:14.520 --> 00:02:17.159
Nice. Now, it's the first one of your albums to
45
00:02:17.159 --> 00:02:20.680
actually be pitched to me here an Australian heavy metal magazine,
46
00:02:20.759 --> 00:02:23.159
So I'm guessing it's a lot more harder edged than
47
00:02:23.199 --> 00:02:24.599
some of your previous albums.
48
00:02:25.719 --> 00:02:27.639
You know, I think some of the songs are.
49
00:02:27.800 --> 00:02:31.639
Yeah, I mean I feel like maybe we just finally
50
00:02:31.680 --> 00:02:34.479
worked our way to, you know, to get your attention.
51
00:02:34.639 --> 00:02:37.520
I feel like I've written some pretty heavy music, but
52
00:02:37.639 --> 00:02:41.759
I think the production on this definitely has, you know,
53
00:02:42.039 --> 00:02:42.840
this this.
54
00:02:42.879 --> 00:02:45.680
Rock and roll edge to it. Absolutely.
55
00:02:46.479 --> 00:02:48.879
Yeah, And you opened it with a song called I'm
56
00:02:48.919 --> 00:02:52.120
Done Running, which is a great introduction in music. It's tough,
57
00:02:52.639 --> 00:02:55.599
it's catchy as hell, but it's gets up. It's just
58
00:02:55.680 --> 00:02:57.599
got a driving beat to the whole thing. Is that
59
00:02:57.599 --> 00:02:58.919
why you chose to open the album?
60
00:03:00.400 --> 00:03:03.240
Yeah, you know, I think that the the okay, So
61
00:03:03.319 --> 00:03:05.879
every time you sequence a record, it's like the committee
62
00:03:05.919 --> 00:03:08.319
comes into play. I mean, I feel like that song
63
00:03:08.840 --> 00:03:13.039
it's inviting, you know, it's it's definitely inviting. It kind
64
00:03:13.039 --> 00:03:15.599
of prepares you for what's to come. But it's also
65
00:03:16.639 --> 00:03:18.759
you know, I feel like it just sort of opens
66
00:03:18.759 --> 00:03:20.800
the door to a record. It's so hard to sequence,
67
00:03:20.840 --> 00:03:23.039
you know, I mean, you can you can make a
68
00:03:23.120 --> 00:03:25.719
completely different album with the same set of songs just
69
00:03:25.759 --> 00:03:29.840
through the sequence alone. So you know, I definitely have
70
00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:33.000
my my sequences that I love that I prefer. But
71
00:03:33.639 --> 00:03:35.719
you know, when when you bring everybody in, I think
72
00:03:35.719 --> 00:03:39.560
that the consensus was that song is inviting, so let's
73
00:03:39.560 --> 00:03:41.319
put it first.
74
00:03:40.960 --> 00:03:43.520
Nice speaking, a sacred thing. Like in the modern I
75
00:03:43.680 --> 00:03:45.520
h where a lot of music streaming and no one
76
00:03:45.599 --> 00:03:48.199
really listens to an album start to finish, do you
77
00:03:48.199 --> 00:03:51.039
still put as much fight as into your order the tracks?
78
00:03:52.360 --> 00:03:55.000
I mean, I I think so if I want people to,
79
00:03:55.680 --> 00:03:59.759
you know, it's important because if somebody is listening to
80
00:03:59.759 --> 00:04:02.919
the what's going to keep them from going, all right,
81
00:04:02.919 --> 00:04:06.199
I've had enough, I'm gonna listen to something else. The sequence,
82
00:04:06.280 --> 00:04:09.159
you know, like putting putting songs in an order that
83
00:04:09.280 --> 00:04:11.680
continue to like surprise you. You know, if you put
84
00:04:11.680 --> 00:04:13.919
everything up front that sounds the same, people go, I
85
00:04:14.240 --> 00:04:16.480
know what this record sounds like. I don't need to
86
00:04:16.519 --> 00:04:18.360
listen to the rest of it. So I feel like
87
00:04:18.399 --> 00:04:19.120
it's a journey.
88
00:04:19.480 --> 00:04:19.680
You know.
89
00:04:21.199 --> 00:04:23.480
Not everybody goes on that journey anymore. I mean, it
90
00:04:23.519 --> 00:04:25.199
is twenty twenty five. A lot of people just go
91
00:04:25.240 --> 00:04:27.560
to Spotify and find their favorite song and listen to it.
92
00:04:27.639 --> 00:04:31.879
But I want to create the opportunity for people to
93
00:04:32.079 --> 00:04:34.879
want to hear the whole thing. So I think sequencing
94
00:04:34.920 --> 00:04:37.600
is important for that reason, you know, take people on
95
00:04:37.639 --> 00:04:40.959
a trip. It's it's art Christ's sakes, Let's let's do
96
00:04:41.079 --> 00:04:42.160
something with it.
97
00:04:42.759 --> 00:04:46.600
Right. Well, you've released the singles I'm Done Running and
98
00:04:46.680 --> 00:04:50.000
Sweet Southern Sounds, which are complete polar opposites of each
99
00:04:50.000 --> 00:04:52.720
other musically, Like, is that an indication of the range
100
00:04:52.879 --> 00:04:53.920
that's over the whole album?
101
00:04:55.600 --> 00:04:56.560
Yeah, I'd say so.
102
00:04:56.600 --> 00:04:59.839
I mean, I think that the idea is to kind
103
00:04:59.839 --> 00:05:03.439
of continue to surprise people with the direction. Yet I
104
00:05:03.439 --> 00:05:05.800
feel like those songs are different, but there is like
105
00:05:05.839 --> 00:05:08.120
a there is a similar thread throughout. I think you
106
00:05:08.160 --> 00:05:11.240
can kind of hear you know that there is a
107
00:05:11.319 --> 00:05:14.120
blues like a rootsiness in there. Even though they go
108
00:05:14.199 --> 00:05:18.439
completely different directions, there is there is some cohesive themes throughout.
109
00:05:18.839 --> 00:05:19.040
You know.
110
00:05:20.600 --> 00:05:23.639
Yeah, it's a musically like from my first listen on
111
00:05:23.680 --> 00:05:26.399
at like, there's a beautiful mix of there's rock, blues,
112
00:05:26.439 --> 00:05:28.120
you got hard rock, there's country, there's a bit of
113
00:05:28.160 --> 00:05:30.600
soul in their light. How difficult is it to get
114
00:05:30.639 --> 00:05:32.959
the balance of all of those rod in the creative prices?
115
00:05:36.600 --> 00:05:40.000
I mean, I just kind of follow what feels right
116
00:05:40.120 --> 00:05:42.519
for me. You know, these are all things that it's
117
00:05:42.519 --> 00:05:44.879
not like I'm writing a song in a genre that
118
00:05:45.480 --> 00:05:49.439
I have no uestion too, or you know, like simply
119
00:05:49.519 --> 00:05:51.639
out of my comfort zone. I mean a lot of
120
00:05:52.199 --> 00:05:55.279
everything that I write it comes from you know, comes
121
00:05:55.279 --> 00:05:59.480
from my heart. So to make it all fit together,
122
00:05:59.560 --> 00:06:02.360
I feel like there's there's already a cohesive thread involved,
123
00:06:02.439 --> 00:06:05.600
you know, and so it to me, it's not it's
124
00:06:05.639 --> 00:06:08.759
not too complex. And also I owe a lot of
125
00:06:08.800 --> 00:06:13.560
that sort of you know, connection throughout the material to
126
00:06:13.800 --> 00:06:16.160
the session. You know, when you're in there working with
127
00:06:16.199 --> 00:06:19.519
the same musicians and producer, you're in you're in a room,
128
00:06:19.519 --> 00:06:22.480
you're in a space, there is a vibe. It's like
129
00:06:22.519 --> 00:06:24.600
a snapshot in time. So you know, it's not like
130
00:06:24.639 --> 00:06:26.839
we're gonna make something way over here and it's something
131
00:06:26.879 --> 00:06:29.240
that you know, it's all gonna feel like a family,
132
00:06:29.319 --> 00:06:32.439
you know, like the songs kind of go together, even
133
00:06:32.480 --> 00:06:35.519
if they're wildly different. There's there's still a connection. You know,
134
00:06:35.519 --> 00:06:37.720
we're playing the same instruments, we're being recorded on the
135
00:06:37.759 --> 00:06:40.720
same console. It's like there, it's a moment, you know.
136
00:06:41.959 --> 00:06:43.199
And the my reason why I asked that is so
137
00:06:43.199 --> 00:06:44.959
I'm pretty sure it was on the first song I'm
138
00:06:45.000 --> 00:06:48.000
done running but it's started off like there's a country
139
00:06:48.000 --> 00:06:50.199
Twain tour. Then I got a little bit of blues
140
00:06:50.279 --> 00:06:51.600
in it, and then I go to hot rock. While
141
00:06:51.600 --> 00:06:53.720
I was listening to it, I'm sitting down thinking like,
142
00:06:54.319 --> 00:06:57.240
how the hell as she made this sound good from
143
00:06:57.319 --> 00:06:58.759
day to day to dare. So that's why I asked
144
00:06:58.759 --> 00:07:02.399
that question because from listen, okay, it doesn't sound like
145
00:07:02.439 --> 00:07:03.879
it'd be an easy thing to play together.
146
00:07:04.959 --> 00:07:06.959
Well, when you put it on paper like that, when
147
00:07:06.959 --> 00:07:13.000
you like, you know, I think you know, I I
148
00:07:13.240 --> 00:07:15.519
don't know. I just to me when I hear that song, it.
149
00:07:15.759 --> 00:07:18.120
All, it all just kind of tells the story, right,
150
00:07:18.199 --> 00:07:19.879
even if you're you know, if you listen to a
151
00:07:19.879 --> 00:07:22.319
song on the record called Fortune Teller, it goes wild
152
00:07:22.519 --> 00:07:25.839
different directions that it's unexpected.
153
00:07:25.839 --> 00:07:28.639
But you know, that's that's the exciting thing about making music.
154
00:07:28.680 --> 00:07:30.240
You want to make things that people don't know.
155
00:07:30.240 --> 00:07:32.399
Exactly where it's going, but it's still if you can
156
00:07:32.480 --> 00:07:34.600
find a way to make it work, that's the art, right.
157
00:07:35.720 --> 00:07:40.079
Bake it till you make it. Yeah, now all read
158
00:07:40.079 --> 00:07:42.480
in the press release where you said the album and
159
00:07:42.560 --> 00:07:44.439
a lot of the guitars on it was inspired by
160
00:07:44.519 --> 00:07:48.000
Mississippi Hills Country blues like I hear in Australia, that
161
00:07:48.040 --> 00:07:49.879
doesn't really mean much for us. So what actually what
162
00:07:50.000 --> 00:07:50.519
is that?
163
00:07:51.439 --> 00:07:53.839
Well, you got to go pick up some Junior Kimbro
164
00:07:54.000 --> 00:07:55.519
and some RL Burnside.
165
00:07:55.920 --> 00:07:57.519
Go check out the Fat Possum Roster.
166
00:07:57.680 --> 00:08:01.600
Yeah, North Hill Country is like a region in North Mississippi.
167
00:08:02.160 --> 00:08:05.680
It's it's a very To me, it's like it's it's
168
00:08:05.720 --> 00:08:10.959
like a mixture of I mean, it's Delta blues, but
169
00:08:11.000 --> 00:08:14.759
there's like a heavy drum element involved. There's a drone involved,
170
00:08:14.800 --> 00:08:17.360
and I you know, to me, growing up as a
171
00:08:17.399 --> 00:08:20.680
kid in Kansas City and really loving rock and roll
172
00:08:21.079 --> 00:08:25.439
and loving like, you know, Detroit in New York, when
173
00:08:25.480 --> 00:08:28.000
I heard Hill Country blues music for the first time,
174
00:08:28.600 --> 00:08:32.480
to me, it kind of felt like the same kindred
175
00:08:32.600 --> 00:08:35.399
spirit to my favorite kind of rock and roll. This
176
00:08:35.519 --> 00:08:39.759
sort of raw, loose, kind of like aggressive, you know,
177
00:08:40.000 --> 00:08:42.639
give no fucks kind of a feel, and there was
178
00:08:42.679 --> 00:08:46.279
nothing really super polished about it, and to me, it
179
00:08:46.360 --> 00:08:49.279
just really spoke to me because and it just felt
180
00:08:49.279 --> 00:08:50.960
really natural to go from.
181
00:08:50.799 --> 00:08:54.039
Liking you know, like the Stooges to liking RL Burnside.
182
00:08:54.080 --> 00:08:57.679
It all just sort of felt, you know, COHESI but
183
00:08:58.200 --> 00:09:00.240
if you don't know about it, go check out some
184
00:09:00.279 --> 00:09:01.799
records because it's.
185
00:09:01.600 --> 00:09:04.200
It's the truth. It's the truth, the truth.
186
00:09:04.639 --> 00:09:06.759
Yeah, there's also another quite from me and there that
187
00:09:06.840 --> 00:09:09.919
all found really interesting. You said that it's taken me
188
00:09:10.039 --> 00:09:13.200
years to fondly find more voice in a studio setting.
189
00:09:13.559 --> 00:09:14.559
Can you elborate on that.
190
00:09:16.600 --> 00:09:18.799
I get that quote a lot, and I regret saying
191
00:09:18.840 --> 00:09:20.519
it like that because it sounds like.
192
00:09:21.440 --> 00:09:24.480
It sounds so sad, no what I mean.
193
00:09:26.279 --> 00:09:28.600
As a singer, and a lot maybe other singers can
194
00:09:28.600 --> 00:09:30.840
really relate to this. Singing live on a stage is
195
00:09:30.840 --> 00:09:34.320
completely different than singing with headphones on in an isolated
196
00:09:34.360 --> 00:09:37.879
studio setting. For me, like my earlier recording is when
197
00:09:37.879 --> 00:09:39.600
I listened to my voice, and I've grown a lot
198
00:09:39.639 --> 00:09:42.919
as a vocalist. Like I'm not trying to short change myself,
199
00:09:42.919 --> 00:09:45.679
because I put in a lot of work as a singer,
200
00:09:46.320 --> 00:09:49.360
but I do feel like I was able to reach
201
00:09:49.600 --> 00:09:53.519
areas of my voice and get comfortable in ways to
202
00:09:53.639 --> 00:09:57.000
sing that I maybe haven't naturally been able to really
203
00:09:57.000 --> 00:09:58.879
tap into. I think I was just starting to kind
204
00:09:58.919 --> 00:10:03.159
of tap into it with death, Wish and faster, you know,
205
00:10:03.240 --> 00:10:06.080
like there wasn't there wasn't a ton of restraint in
206
00:10:06.159 --> 00:10:07.879
my vocals, Like I was able to do the thing
207
00:10:07.919 --> 00:10:10.399
that I do naturally on stage in a studio, which
208
00:10:10.879 --> 00:10:12.720
kind of feels good because you're like you have these
209
00:10:12.759 --> 00:10:16.799
aha moments all the time as a musician, you know, like, oh,
210
00:10:16.840 --> 00:10:18.759
you know, this little thing unlocks.
211
00:10:18.320 --> 00:10:19.039
This big thing.
212
00:10:20.519 --> 00:10:22.559
And that's really what I meant by that quote, not
213
00:10:22.639 --> 00:10:25.879
that like I was stifled creatively and I wasn't able
214
00:10:25.879 --> 00:10:28.919
to be myself or anything. I just I felt like
215
00:10:29.000 --> 00:10:31.720
my true actual singing voice, like I find I was
216
00:10:32.080 --> 00:10:34.320
I kind of unlocked something. Was was able to go
217
00:10:34.360 --> 00:10:36.399
to places that I don't think I've been able to
218
00:10:36.519 --> 00:10:37.759
quite go to in the past.
219
00:10:38.440 --> 00:10:42.279
Nice Paper Doll was written and created mostly on the
220
00:10:42.320 --> 00:10:45.120
road this time, which is different for you. So was
221
00:10:45.120 --> 00:10:48.000
it a difficult process touring and writing?
222
00:10:51.639 --> 00:10:55.399
It's how I've always done it. It's always it's always
223
00:10:55.440 --> 00:10:57.519
like it's always like that. You know, you have to
224
00:10:57.559 --> 00:11:01.840
find time and make it when you can. I did
225
00:11:01.840 --> 00:11:04.840
have some to I remember early on in that writing process,
226
00:11:04.879 --> 00:11:07.159
I did have some time off at home, and you know,
227
00:11:07.240 --> 00:11:09.879
I mean sometimes you need a bit of a ticking
228
00:11:09.919 --> 00:11:11.679
clock to be productive, you know.
229
00:11:11.799 --> 00:11:15.440
Like like it helps it helps to know like, Okay,
230
00:11:15.519 --> 00:11:17.759
I have to I have to be ready at this time,
231
00:11:17.879 --> 00:11:20.440
you know, and so it just sort of like motivates
232
00:11:20.480 --> 00:11:22.639
the creative process even further, you know.
233
00:11:23.960 --> 00:11:24.960
But I don't know.
234
00:11:24.960 --> 00:11:26.600
I mean, I write a lot about.
235
00:11:26.279 --> 00:11:30.399
The road, about my experiences, so you know, sometimes sometimes
236
00:11:30.399 --> 00:11:34.519
getting out there and doing it, it's it's great fodder
237
00:11:34.559 --> 00:11:36.559
for inspiration, you know.
238
00:11:37.360 --> 00:11:37.720
Yeah.
239
00:11:38.320 --> 00:11:39.799
They also said in there to you that it's the
240
00:11:39.840 --> 00:11:42.960
first album you've recorded with your touring band, Like do
241
00:11:42.960 --> 00:11:44.720
you normally use session musicians?
242
00:11:46.279 --> 00:11:47.240
I have in the past.
243
00:11:47.320 --> 00:11:50.919
Yeah, then it's not because it was some you know,
244
00:11:51.840 --> 00:11:54.600
it was never like a decision like I chose to
245
00:11:54.720 --> 00:11:58.159
use these musicians and not these musicians. It's just, you know,
246
00:11:58.240 --> 00:12:02.879
every album has kind of been like you knows who's
247
00:12:02.919 --> 00:12:04.799
working on it, where are you at, you know, what,
248
00:12:05.000 --> 00:12:07.960
what's the band's situation like in this moment. Sometimes you know,
249
00:12:08.559 --> 00:12:11.960
like during the faster recordings, I didn't have a band
250
00:12:11.960 --> 00:12:14.000
at the time because it was the pandemic, you know,
251
00:12:14.159 --> 00:12:18.120
so things were you know, you you bring in different
252
00:12:18.200 --> 00:12:20.679
musicians at different times for different things because of many
253
00:12:20.679 --> 00:12:24.200
different reasons. But this album, we were on the road
254
00:12:25.039 --> 00:12:30.200
touring all over the place, like and just completely crazy
255
00:12:30.320 --> 00:12:33.799
touring schedule, and you know, I had a really good
256
00:12:33.919 --> 00:12:37.519
energy in a chemistry with this band, so it just
257
00:12:37.559 --> 00:12:40.320
felt right natural to go into the studio and continue
258
00:12:40.320 --> 00:12:41.600
that momentum that we had on.
259
00:12:41.519 --> 00:12:43.799
The road and on the stage into the studio setting.
260
00:12:44.399 --> 00:12:47.559
They're nice. So what's the next for Samantha fish Off?
261
00:12:47.600 --> 00:12:48.919
The album comes out of fand slot. If you do
262
00:12:49.000 --> 00:12:53.159
nothing but record and sure, that's about it.
263
00:12:53.200 --> 00:12:55.600
Man, that's kind of a life.
264
00:12:56.840 --> 00:12:58.679
That's kind of a life, gul you know, it's not.
265
00:12:59.120 --> 00:13:03.600
I feel like I love being on stage. It's where
266
00:13:03.639 --> 00:13:07.200
I feel most at home. I love creating a show
267
00:13:08.440 --> 00:13:13.000
that's different from my previous shows. I like the challenge of,
268
00:13:13.639 --> 00:13:16.720
you know, getting to reimagine everything and make it make
269
00:13:16.799 --> 00:13:18.120
something new for the.
270
00:13:18.080 --> 00:13:21.279
Fans, you know, And I just really feel at home.
271
00:13:21.080 --> 00:13:23.840
On stage, you know, like it's it's just it's a
272
00:13:23.840 --> 00:13:24.919
good feeling place for me.
273
00:13:25.600 --> 00:13:26.919
So I don't mind it.
274
00:13:27.840 --> 00:13:30.159
So if your plans to make it to Australia in
275
00:13:30.159 --> 00:13:32.120
the new future, because all come.
276
00:13:33.200 --> 00:13:35.480
Twenty twenty six, they are the rumors that I'm hearing,
277
00:13:35.519 --> 00:13:38.440
but nothing is confirmed. So this is not an official announcement.
278
00:13:38.879 --> 00:13:43.840
It's a goal, it's a goal yeah, twenty twenty six. Nice.
279
00:13:43.919 --> 00:13:45.679
Now, before you go, saman So, I've got a new
280
00:13:45.679 --> 00:13:49.080
thing I've started doing called fighto bombs. So basically, before
281
00:13:49.120 --> 00:13:51.159
I speak to you, I'll tell you social media. I
282
00:13:51.200 --> 00:13:52.559
come up with a few fighters that don't want to
283
00:13:52.559 --> 00:13:56.919
ask you more about Okay, I one of you that
284
00:13:57.120 --> 00:13:58.879
proves that you do have a be to meddle in
285
00:13:58.919 --> 00:13:59.440
your veins.
286
00:14:01.200 --> 00:14:08.559
Halloween yeah, well yeah, I mean I don't know. I
287
00:14:08.600 --> 00:14:13.000
always do Halloween up pretty big, I gotta say, which
288
00:14:13.039 --> 00:14:16.000
is so funny, Like we've I've gotten, I've gotten so much.
289
00:14:17.919 --> 00:14:20.200
You know, I love to dress up really really ugly
290
00:14:20.279 --> 00:14:23.480
on Halloween because I have to dress up pretty the
291
00:14:23.559 --> 00:14:26.679
rest of the year. So you know, it's my opportunity
292
00:14:26.799 --> 00:14:29.960
just to go as you know, disgusting as I want,
293
00:14:30.039 --> 00:14:31.279
you know, dark disgusting.
294
00:14:31.360 --> 00:14:31.919
Let's go for it.
295
00:14:32.000 --> 00:14:33.480
But that was one of my best I mean, I
296
00:14:33.559 --> 00:14:37.039
use the special effects horns and you know, that was
297
00:14:37.039 --> 00:14:37.679
a fun look.
298
00:14:38.039 --> 00:14:40.080
That was a good one, very nice.
299
00:14:40.320 --> 00:14:42.240
And the other one I found was.
300
00:14:45.559 --> 00:14:49.080
Do you seriously play in high hills and then negotiate
301
00:14:49.120 --> 00:14:50.480
your pedal boards with them on?
302
00:14:51.879 --> 00:14:52.080
Yeah?
303
00:14:52.080 --> 00:14:52.440
I do.
304
00:14:52.879 --> 00:14:56.360
Hall the hell I got the back problems to prove it.
305
00:14:58.720 --> 00:14:59.320
Just say good.
306
00:15:00.600 --> 00:15:03.879
You know, Honestly, those stilettos kind of create like a
307
00:15:03.960 --> 00:15:07.080
nice little point, so it's easier to push the buttons
308
00:15:07.080 --> 00:15:09.360
than when I'm like when I wear big like I'll
309
00:15:09.399 --> 00:15:11.639
wear my doctor Martins to sound check, and I'm like
310
00:15:11.879 --> 00:15:14.399
stamping on all the buttons at the same time, Like Jesus,
311
00:15:14.480 --> 00:15:18.039
how how do people do this with their regular big,
312
00:15:18.480 --> 00:15:21.080
clumsy shoes on. I feel like you kind of have
313
00:15:21.159 --> 00:15:23.440
to have a nice, narrow little point to be precise.
314
00:15:24.799 --> 00:15:26.960
I'm saying other photos, if you jump it all over
315
00:15:27.000 --> 00:15:30.840
the place on side Joe, you just shouldn't happen. You
316
00:15:30.840 --> 00:15:32.799
shouldn't be out to jump and move and should just
317
00:15:32.879 --> 00:15:33.200
like that.
318
00:15:34.360 --> 00:15:38.679
It's a I don't know, man, I've seen some photos
319
00:15:38.720 --> 00:15:40.840
that I'm like, why did I date that? That's it
320
00:15:40.840 --> 00:15:44.559
gives me like intrusive kind of like, oh, I could
321
00:15:44.559 --> 00:15:46.960
have broken ankle. I can definitely see how that juke
322
00:15:47.120 --> 00:15:49.639
probably would have let you know, led me somewhere dangerous.
323
00:15:49.639 --> 00:15:51.399
But I don't know, you know, you feel it in
324
00:15:51.440 --> 00:15:53.720
the in the moment, like I just know I'm gonna land.
325
00:15:54.200 --> 00:15:57.200
I have this, Like I just know I can do it.
326
00:15:58.320 --> 00:16:00.480
That's what That's what the stage to you.
327
00:16:00.519 --> 00:16:03.360
It gives you all kinds of like confidence and it's
328
00:16:03.399 --> 00:16:06.399
like you should not have confidence like that in stilettos
329
00:16:06.440 --> 00:16:07.039
for sure.
330
00:16:08.120 --> 00:16:10.639
Then if you need to should should not have confidence?
331
00:16:12.519 --> 00:16:15.080
Yeah, it's math.
332
00:16:15.159 --> 00:16:17.519
Well, thanks very much for your song. The album hyper
333
00:16:17.600 --> 00:16:19.960
Dole He's out Eiffel twenty fifth and take it from
334
00:16:19.960 --> 00:16:23.519
a middlehead. It's a seriously fucking good album. So gratulations
335
00:16:23.519 --> 00:16:23.960
and ipades.
336
00:16:25.639 --> 00:16:27.759
Thank you so much. I appreciate it. Can't wait to

338
00:16:38.639 --> 00:16:42.679
When I can. The mirror Dad who's staring back at me.
339
00:16:43.960 --> 00:16:48.919
The world's again clearer, but it's easier to see. I'm
340
00:16:48.960 --> 00:16:54.399
turning into some one that I never know. Pastor is

00:16:54.480 --> 00:16:58.159
coming none done, but I like where I am going. No, No,
342
00:16:58.360 --> 00:17:01.320

00:17:13.880 --> 00:17:14.440
My window.
345
00:17:14.839 --> 00:17:16.519
I see both the sun and rain.
346
00:17:17.799 --> 00:17:20.400
No one's not here without.
347
00:17:20.039 --> 00:17:23.400
A dose of DNA pain. You'll try to leave.
348
00:17:23.279 --> 00:17:28.920
The birds skin or on the bruising battery lightning so heavy.
349
00:17:29.039 --> 00:17:32.880
Lord wants yourself to shattered. I know want change and
350

The world's again clearer.
3
00:00:16.760 --> 00:00:18.519
But it's easier to see.
4
00:00:20.160 --> 00:00:22.519
Hey everybody, I'm Samantha Fish and you're about to hear
5
00:00:22.640 --> 00:00:24.839
a song off mighty record called paper Doll.
6
00:00:25.960 --> 00:00:30.120
Let's do Itana, thanks for joining us today.
7
00:00:30.719 --> 00:00:32.600
Yeah, thank you, my pleasure.
8
00:00:32.679 --> 00:00:35.159
So you released a new album, Pipe Doll on April
9
00:00:35.159 --> 00:00:38.119
to twenty, Like, it's still a little way away, But
10
00:00:38.159 --> 00:00:40.719
how are you feeling is deciding to get to pressure point?
11
00:00:42.039 --> 00:00:42.200
No?
12
00:00:42.280 --> 00:00:45.600
I mean, honestly, oh god, there's there's this weird feeling
13
00:00:45.640 --> 00:00:48.880
when you finish a record, at least for me, I
14
00:00:48.920 --> 00:00:51.000
know every artist feels this way. You know, you're you
15
00:00:51.039 --> 00:00:53.159
walk out of the studio and this giant weight has
16
00:00:53.159 --> 00:00:55.000
been lifted off your shoulders. It's a much you for
17
00:00:55.439 --> 00:00:57.200
when you're done with the record, it's like the pressure
18
00:00:57.280 --> 00:01:00.960
is just like okay, like that's over, thank god, because
19
00:01:01.079 --> 00:01:03.960
it's always fun, but it is like for me, it's
20
00:01:04.000 --> 00:01:06.400
always like this mountain that I have to climb, you know,
21
00:01:06.560 --> 00:01:09.319
to get through it, and it's you know, so it
22
00:01:09.319 --> 00:01:10.840
feels great, but then it feels like you have the
23
00:01:10.959 --> 00:01:13.560
secret that you have to keep for you know. Six
24
00:01:13.680 --> 00:01:16.640
nine months a year they can't share with anybody. So
25
00:01:16.680 --> 00:01:18.920
I finally feel like I'm able to like let.
26
00:01:18.879 --> 00:01:22.239
People in on the little secret. That's that's kind of nice.
27
00:01:22.079 --> 00:01:24.640
Good way looking at it. Can you just rub the
28
00:01:24.680 --> 00:01:26.640
album chimmy from the musical point of view and then
29
00:01:26.680 --> 00:01:27.879
what you're actually going for with it?
30
00:01:29.040 --> 00:01:29.200
Oh?
31
00:01:29.239 --> 00:01:29.840
God?
32
00:01:30.680 --> 00:01:34.400
Well, this record, I wanted to lean into my strengths,
33
00:01:34.439 --> 00:01:36.640
you know, what people might like, what are my super
34
00:01:36.680 --> 00:01:39.439
power makes me different, what's what makes me unique? You know,
35
00:01:40.359 --> 00:01:45.840
leaning into my voice, my guitar, my songwriting. I wanted
36
00:01:45.879 --> 00:01:49.799
to make something that felt urgent, felt like rock and roll,
37
00:01:49.879 --> 00:01:52.079
but was still rooted in the music that I love
38
00:01:52.120 --> 00:01:55.000
and it inspires me, which is like blues music, you know,
39
00:01:55.560 --> 00:01:59.359
uh North Hill country blues specifically. It's a deep well
40
00:01:59.400 --> 00:02:02.079
of inspiration for me. I just wanted to write great
41
00:02:02.079 --> 00:02:06.040
songs and write and record with an urgency that you know,
42
00:02:07.280 --> 00:02:10.000
people would hear it and want to listen again and
43
00:02:10.039 --> 00:02:13.840
again and again. You know, Timeless Records, that's my goal.
44
00:02:14.520 --> 00:02:17.159
Nice. Now, it's the first one of your albums to
45
00:02:17.159 --> 00:02:20.680
actually be pitched to me here an Australian heavy metal magazine,
46
00:02:20.759 --> 00:02:23.159
So I'm guessing it's a lot more harder edged than
47
00:02:23.199 --> 00:02:24.599
some of your previous albums.
48
00:02:25.719 --> 00:02:27.639
You know, I think some of the songs are.
49
00:02:27.800 --> 00:02:31.639
Yeah, I mean I feel like maybe we just finally
50
00:02:31.680 --> 00:02:34.479
worked our way to, you know, to get your attention.
51
00:02:34.639 --> 00:02:37.520
I feel like I've written some pretty heavy music, but
52
00:02:37.639 --> 00:02:41.759
I think the production on this definitely has, you know,
53
00:02:42.039 --> 00:02:42.840
this this.
54
00:02:42.879 --> 00:02:45.680
Rock and roll edge to it. Absolutely.
55
00:02:46.479 --> 00:02:48.879
Yeah, And you opened it with a song called I'm
56
00:02:48.919 --> 00:02:52.120
Done Running, which is a great introduction in music. It's tough,
57
00:02:52.639 --> 00:02:55.599
it's catchy as hell, but it's gets up. It's just
58
00:02:55.680 --> 00:02:57.599
got a driving beat to the whole thing. Is that
59
00:02:57.599 --> 00:02:58.919
why you chose to open the album?
60
00:03:00.400 --> 00:03:03.240
Yeah, you know, I think that the the okay, So
61
00:03:03.319 --> 00:03:05.879
every time you sequence a record, it's like the committee
62
00:03:05.919 --> 00:03:08.319
comes into play. I mean, I feel like that song
63
00:03:08.840 --> 00:03:13.039
it's inviting, you know, it's it's definitely inviting. It kind
64
00:03:13.039 --> 00:03:15.599
of prepares you for what's to come. But it's also
65
00:03:16.639 --> 00:03:18.759
you know, I feel like it just sort of opens
66
00:03:18.759 --> 00:03:20.800
the door to a record. It's so hard to sequence,
67
00:03:20.840 --> 00:03:23.039
you know, I mean, you can you can make a
68
00:03:23.120 --> 00:03:25.719
completely different album with the same set of songs just
69
00:03:25.759 --> 00:03:29.840
through the sequence alone. So you know, I definitely have
70
00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:33.000
my my sequences that I love that I prefer. But
71
00:03:33.639 --> 00:03:35.719
you know, when when you bring everybody in, I think
72
00:03:35.719 --> 00:03:39.560
that the consensus was that song is inviting, so let's
73
00:03:39.560 --> 00:03:41.319
put it first.
74
00:03:40.960 --> 00:03:43.520
Nice speaking, a sacred thing. Like in the modern I
75
00:03:43.680 --> 00:03:45.520
h where a lot of music streaming and no one
76
00:03:45.599 --> 00:03:48.199
really listens to an album start to finish, do you
77
00:03:48.199 --> 00:03:51.039
still put as much fight as into your order the tracks?
78
00:03:52.360 --> 00:03:55.000
I mean, I I think so if I want people to,
79
00:03:55.680 --> 00:03:59.759
you know, it's important because if somebody is listening to
80
00:03:59.759 --> 00:04:02.919
the what's going to keep them from going, all right,
81
00:04:02.919 --> 00:04:06.199
I've had enough, I'm gonna listen to something else. The sequence,
82
00:04:06.280 --> 00:04:09.159
you know, like putting putting songs in an order that
83
00:04:09.280 --> 00:04:11.680
continue to like surprise you. You know, if you put
84
00:04:11.680 --> 00:04:13.919
everything up front that sounds the same, people go, I
85
00:04:14.240 --> 00:04:16.480
know what this record sounds like. I don't need to
86
00:04:16.519 --> 00:04:18.360
listen to the rest of it. So I feel like
87
00:04:18.399 --> 00:04:19.120
it's a journey.
88
00:04:19.480 --> 00:04:19.680
You know.
89
00:04:21.199 --> 00:04:23.480
Not everybody goes on that journey anymore. I mean, it
90
00:04:23.519 --> 00:04:25.199
is twenty twenty five. A lot of people just go
91
00:04:25.240 --> 00:04:27.560
to Spotify and find their favorite song and listen to it.
92
00:04:27.639 --> 00:04:31.879
But I want to create the opportunity for people to
93
00:04:32.079 --> 00:04:34.879
want to hear the whole thing. So I think sequencing
94
00:04:34.920 --> 00:04:37.600
is important for that reason, you know, take people on
95
00:04:37.639 --> 00:04:40.959
a trip. It's it's art Christ's sakes, Let's let's do
96
00:04:41.079 --> 00:04:42.160
something with it.
97
00:04:42.759 --> 00:04:46.600
Right. Well, you've released the singles I'm Done Running and
98
00:04:46.680 --> 00:04:50.000
Sweet Southern Sounds, which are complete polar opposites of each
99
00:04:50.000 --> 00:04:52.720
other musically, Like, is that an indication of the range
100
00:04:52.879 --> 00:04:53.920
that's over the whole album?
101
00:04:55.600 --> 00:04:56.560
Yeah, I'd say so.
102
00:04:56.600 --> 00:04:59.839
I mean, I think that the idea is to kind
103
00:04:59.839 --> 00:05:03.439
of continue to surprise people with the direction. Yet I
104
00:05:03.439 --> 00:05:05.800
feel like those songs are different, but there is like
105
00:05:05.839 --> 00:05:08.120
a there is a similar thread throughout. I think you
106
00:05:08.160 --> 00:05:11.240
can kind of hear you know that there is a
107
00:05:11.319 --> 00:05:14.120
blues like a rootsiness in there. Even though they go
108
00:05:14.199 --> 00:05:18.439
completely different directions, there is there is some cohesive themes throughout.
109
00:05:18.839 --> 00:05:19.040
You know.
110
00:05:20.600 --> 00:05:23.639
Yeah, it's a musically like from my first listen on
111
00:05:23.680 --> 00:05:26.399
at like, there's a beautiful mix of there's rock, blues,
112
00:05:26.439 --> 00:05:28.120
you got hard rock, there's country, there's a bit of
113
00:05:28.160 --> 00:05:30.600
soul in their light. How difficult is it to get
114
00:05:30.639 --> 00:05:32.959
the balance of all of those rod in the creative prices?
115
00:05:36.600 --> 00:05:40.000
I mean, I just kind of follow what feels right
116
00:05:40.120 --> 00:05:42.519
for me. You know, these are all things that it's
117
00:05:42.519 --> 00:05:44.879
not like I'm writing a song in a genre that
118
00:05:45.480 --> 00:05:49.439
I have no uestion too, or you know, like simply
119
00:05:49.519 --> 00:05:51.639
out of my comfort zone. I mean a lot of
120
00:05:52.199 --> 00:05:55.279
everything that I write it comes from you know, comes
121
00:05:55.279 --> 00:05:59.480
from my heart. So to make it all fit together,
122
00:05:59.560 --> 00:06:02.360
I feel like there's there's already a cohesive thread involved,
123
00:06:02.439 --> 00:06:05.600
you know, and so it to me, it's not it's
124
00:06:05.639 --> 00:06:08.759
not too complex. And also I owe a lot of
125
00:06:08.800 --> 00:06:13.560
that sort of you know, connection throughout the material to
126
00:06:13.800 --> 00:06:16.160
the session. You know, when you're in there working with
127
00:06:16.199 --> 00:06:19.519
the same musicians and producer, you're in you're in a room,
128
00:06:19.519 --> 00:06:22.480
you're in a space, there is a vibe. It's like
129
00:06:22.519 --> 00:06:24.600
a snapshot in time. So you know, it's not like
130
00:06:24.639 --> 00:06:26.839
we're gonna make something way over here and it's something
131
00:06:26.879 --> 00:06:29.240
that you know, it's all gonna feel like a family,
132
00:06:29.319 --> 00:06:32.439
you know, like the songs kind of go together, even
133
00:06:32.480 --> 00:06:35.519
if they're wildly different. There's there's still a connection. You know,
134
00:06:35.519 --> 00:06:37.720
we're playing the same instruments, we're being recorded on the
135
00:06:37.759 --> 00:06:40.720
same console. It's like there, it's a moment, you know.
136
00:06:41.959 --> 00:06:43.199
And the my reason why I asked that is so
137
00:06:43.199 --> 00:06:44.959
I'm pretty sure it was on the first song I'm
138
00:06:45.000 --> 00:06:48.000
done running but it's started off like there's a country
139
00:06:48.000 --> 00:06:50.199
Twain tour. Then I got a little bit of blues
140
00:06:50.279 --> 00:06:51.600
in it, and then I go to hot rock. While
141
00:06:51.600 --> 00:06:53.720
I was listening to it, I'm sitting down thinking like,
142
00:06:54.319 --> 00:06:57.240
how the hell as she made this sound good from
143
00:06:57.319 --> 00:06:58.759
day to day to dare. So that's why I asked
144
00:06:58.759 --> 00:07:02.399
that question because from listen, okay, it doesn't sound like
145
00:07:02.439 --> 00:07:03.879
it'd be an easy thing to play together.
146
00:07:04.959 --> 00:07:06.959
Well, when you put it on paper like that, when
147
00:07:06.959 --> 00:07:13.000
you like, you know, I think you know, I I
148
00:07:13.240 --> 00:07:15.519
don't know. I just to me when I hear that song, it.
149
00:07:15.759 --> 00:07:18.120
All, it all just kind of tells the story, right,
150
00:07:18.199 --> 00:07:19.879
even if you're you know, if you listen to a
151
00:07:19.879 --> 00:07:22.319
song on the record called Fortune Teller, it goes wild
152
00:07:22.519 --> 00:07:25.839
different directions that it's unexpected.
153
00:07:25.839 --> 00:07:28.639
But you know, that's that's the exciting thing about making music.
154
00:07:28.680 --> 00:07:30.240
You want to make things that people don't know.
155
00:07:30.240 --> 00:07:32.399
Exactly where it's going, but it's still if you can
156
00:07:32.480 --> 00:07:34.600
find a way to make it work, that's the art, right.
157
00:07:35.720 --> 00:07:40.079
Bake it till you make it. Yeah, now all read
158
00:07:40.079 --> 00:07:42.480
in the press release where you said the album and
159
00:07:42.560 --> 00:07:44.439
a lot of the guitars on it was inspired by
160
00:07:44.519 --> 00:07:48.000
Mississippi Hills Country blues like I hear in Australia, that
161
00:07:48.040 --> 00:07:49.879
doesn't really mean much for us. So what actually what
162
00:07:50.000 --> 00:07:50.519
is that?
163
00:07:51.439 --> 00:07:53.839
Well, you got to go pick up some Junior Kimbro
164
00:07:54.000 --> 00:07:55.519
and some RL Burnside.
165
00:07:55.920 --> 00:07:57.519
Go check out the Fat Possum Roster.
166
00:07:57.680 --> 00:08:01.600
Yeah, North Hill Country is like a region in North Mississippi.
167
00:08:02.160 --> 00:08:05.680
It's it's a very To me, it's like it's it's
168
00:08:05.720 --> 00:08:10.959
like a mixture of I mean, it's Delta blues, but
169
00:08:11.000 --> 00:08:14.759
there's like a heavy drum element involved. There's a drone involved,
170
00:08:14.800 --> 00:08:17.360
and I you know, to me, growing up as a
171
00:08:17.399 --> 00:08:20.680
kid in Kansas City and really loving rock and roll
172
00:08:21.079 --> 00:08:25.439
and loving like, you know, Detroit in New York, when
173
00:08:25.480 --> 00:08:28.000
I heard Hill Country blues music for the first time,
174
00:08:28.600 --> 00:08:32.480
to me, it kind of felt like the same kindred
175
00:08:32.600 --> 00:08:35.399
spirit to my favorite kind of rock and roll. This
176
00:08:35.519 --> 00:08:39.759
sort of raw, loose, kind of like aggressive, you know,
177
00:08:40.000 --> 00:08:42.639
give no fucks kind of a feel, and there was
178
00:08:42.679 --> 00:08:46.279
nothing really super polished about it, and to me, it
179
00:08:46.360 --> 00:08:49.279
just really spoke to me because and it just felt
180
00:08:49.279 --> 00:08:50.960
really natural to go from.
181
00:08:50.799 --> 00:08:54.039
Liking you know, like the Stooges to liking RL Burnside.
182
00:08:54.080 --> 00:08:57.679
It all just sort of felt, you know, COHESI but
183
00:08:58.200 --> 00:09:00.240
if you don't know about it, go check out some
184
00:09:00.279 --> 00:09:01.799
records because it's.
185
00:09:01.600 --> 00:09:04.200
It's the truth. It's the truth, the truth.
186
00:09:04.639 --> 00:09:06.759
Yeah, there's also another quite from me and there that
187
00:09:06.840 --> 00:09:09.919
all found really interesting. You said that it's taken me
188
00:09:10.039 --> 00:09:13.200
years to fondly find more voice in a studio setting.
189
00:09:13.559 --> 00:09:14.559
Can you elborate on that.
190
00:09:16.600 --> 00:09:18.799
I get that quote a lot, and I regret saying
191
00:09:18.840 --> 00:09:20.519
it like that because it sounds like.
192
00:09:21.440 --> 00:09:24.480
It sounds so sad, no what I mean.
193
00:09:26.279 --> 00:09:28.600
As a singer, and a lot maybe other singers can
194
00:09:28.600 --> 00:09:30.840
really relate to this. Singing live on a stage is
195
00:09:30.840 --> 00:09:34.320
completely different than singing with headphones on in an isolated
196
00:09:34.360 --> 00:09:37.879
studio setting. For me, like my earlier recording is when
197
00:09:37.879 --> 00:09:39.600
I listened to my voice, and I've grown a lot
198
00:09:39.639 --> 00:09:42.919
as a vocalist. Like I'm not trying to short change myself,
199
00:09:42.919 --> 00:09:45.679
because I put in a lot of work as a singer,
200
00:09:46.320 --> 00:09:49.360
but I do feel like I was able to reach
201
00:09:49.600 --> 00:09:53.519
areas of my voice and get comfortable in ways to
202
00:09:53.639 --> 00:09:57.000
sing that I maybe haven't naturally been able to really
203
00:09:57.000 --> 00:09:58.879
tap into. I think I was just starting to kind
204
00:09:58.919 --> 00:10:03.159
of tap into it with death, Wish and faster, you know,
205
00:10:03.240 --> 00:10:06.080
like there wasn't there wasn't a ton of restraint in
206
00:10:06.159 --> 00:10:07.879
my vocals, Like I was able to do the thing
207
00:10:07.919 --> 00:10:10.399
that I do naturally on stage in a studio, which
208
00:10:10.879 --> 00:10:12.720
kind of feels good because you're like you have these
209
00:10:12.759 --> 00:10:16.799
aha moments all the time as a musician, you know, like, oh,
210
00:10:16.840 --> 00:10:18.759
you know, this little thing unlocks.
211
00:10:18.320 --> 00:10:19.039
This big thing.
212
00:10:20.519 --> 00:10:22.559
And that's really what I meant by that quote, not
213
00:10:22.639 --> 00:10:25.879
that like I was stifled creatively and I wasn't able
214
00:10:25.879 --> 00:10:28.919
to be myself or anything. I just I felt like
215
00:10:29.000 --> 00:10:31.720
my true actual singing voice, like I find I was
216
00:10:32.080 --> 00:10:34.320
I kind of unlocked something. Was was able to go
217
00:10:34.360 --> 00:10:36.399
to places that I don't think I've been able to
218
00:10:36.519 --> 00:10:37.759
quite go to in the past.
219
00:10:38.440 --> 00:10:42.279
Nice Paper Doll was written and created mostly on the
220
00:10:42.320 --> 00:10:45.120
road this time, which is different for you. So was
221
00:10:45.120 --> 00:10:48.000
it a difficult process touring and writing?
222
00:10:51.639 --> 00:10:55.399
It's how I've always done it. It's always it's always
223
00:10:55.440 --> 00:10:57.519
like it's always like that. You know, you have to
224
00:10:57.559 --> 00:11:01.840
find time and make it when you can. I did
225
00:11:01.840 --> 00:11:04.840
have some to I remember early on in that writing process,
226
00:11:04.879 --> 00:11:07.159
I did have some time off at home, and you know,
227
00:11:07.240 --> 00:11:09.879
I mean sometimes you need a bit of a ticking
228
00:11:09.919 --> 00:11:11.679
clock to be productive, you know.
229
00:11:11.799 --> 00:11:15.440
Like like it helps it helps to know like, Okay,
230
00:11:15.519 --> 00:11:17.759
I have to I have to be ready at this time,
231
00:11:17.879 --> 00:11:20.440
you know, and so it just sort of like motivates
232
00:11:20.480 --> 00:11:22.639
the creative process even further, you know.
233
00:11:23.960 --> 00:11:24.960
But I don't know.
234
00:11:24.960 --> 00:11:26.600
I mean, I write a lot about.
235
00:11:26.279 --> 00:11:30.399
The road, about my experiences, so you know, sometimes sometimes
236
00:11:30.399 --> 00:11:34.519
getting out there and doing it, it's it's great fodder
237
00:11:34.559 --> 00:11:36.559
for inspiration, you know.
238
00:11:37.360 --> 00:11:37.720
Yeah.
239
00:11:38.320 --> 00:11:39.799
They also said in there to you that it's the
240
00:11:39.840 --> 00:11:42.960
first album you've recorded with your touring band, Like do
241
00:11:42.960 --> 00:11:44.720
you normally use session musicians?
242
00:11:46.279 --> 00:11:47.240
I have in the past.
243
00:11:47.320 --> 00:11:50.919
Yeah, then it's not because it was some you know,
244
00:11:51.840 --> 00:11:54.600
it was never like a decision like I chose to
245
00:11:54.720 --> 00:11:58.159
use these musicians and not these musicians. It's just, you know,
246
00:11:58.240 --> 00:12:02.879
every album has kind of been like you knows who's
247
00:12:02.919 --> 00:12:04.799
working on it, where are you at, you know, what,
248
00:12:05.000 --> 00:12:07.960
what's the band's situation like in this moment. Sometimes you know,
249
00:12:08.559 --> 00:12:11.960
like during the faster recordings, I didn't have a band
250
00:12:11.960 --> 00:12:14.000
at the time because it was the pandemic, you know,
251
00:12:14.159 --> 00:12:18.120
so things were you know, you you bring in different
252
00:12:18.200 --> 00:12:20.679
musicians at different times for different things because of many
253
00:12:20.679 --> 00:12:24.200
different reasons. But this album, we were on the road
254
00:12:25.039 --> 00:12:30.200
touring all over the place, like and just completely crazy
255
00:12:30.320 --> 00:12:33.799
touring schedule, and you know, I had a really good
256
00:12:33.919 --> 00:12:37.519
energy in a chemistry with this band, so it just
257
00:12:37.559 --> 00:12:40.320
felt right natural to go into the studio and continue
258
00:12:40.320 --> 00:12:41.600
that momentum that we had on.
259
00:12:41.519 --> 00:12:43.799
The road and on the stage into the studio setting.
260
00:12:44.399 --> 00:12:47.559
They're nice. So what's the next for Samantha fish Off?
261
00:12:47.600 --> 00:12:48.919
The album comes out of fand slot. If you do
262
00:12:49.000 --> 00:12:53.159
nothing but record and sure, that's about it.
263
00:12:53.200 --> 00:12:55.600
Man, that's kind of a life.
264
00:12:56.840 --> 00:12:58.679
That's kind of a life, gul you know, it's not.
265
00:12:59.120 --> 00:13:03.600
I feel like I love being on stage. It's where
266
00:13:03.639 --> 00:13:07.200
I feel most at home. I love creating a show
267
00:13:08.440 --> 00:13:13.000
that's different from my previous shows. I like the challenge of,
268
00:13:13.639 --> 00:13:16.720
you know, getting to reimagine everything and make it make
269
00:13:16.799 --> 00:13:18.120
something new for the.
270
00:13:18.080 --> 00:13:21.279
Fans, you know, And I just really feel at home.
271
00:13:21.080 --> 00:13:23.840
On stage, you know, like it's it's just it's a
272
00:13:23.840 --> 00:13:24.919
good feeling place for me.
273
00:13:25.600 --> 00:13:26.919
So I don't mind it.
274
00:13:27.840 --> 00:13:30.159
So if your plans to make it to Australia in
275
00:13:30.159 --> 00:13:32.120
the new future, because all come.
276
00:13:33.200 --> 00:13:35.480
Twenty twenty six, they are the rumors that I'm hearing,
277
00:13:35.519 --> 00:13:38.440
but nothing is confirmed. So this is not an official announcement.
278
00:13:38.879 --> 00:13:43.840
It's a goal, it's a goal yeah, twenty twenty six. Nice.
279
00:13:43.919 --> 00:13:45.679
Now, before you go, saman So, I've got a new
280
00:13:45.679 --> 00:13:49.080
thing I've started doing called fighto bombs. So basically, before
281
00:13:49.120 --> 00:13:51.159
I speak to you, I'll tell you social media. I
282
00:13:51.200 --> 00:13:52.559
come up with a few fighters that don't want to
283
00:13:52.559 --> 00:13:56.919
ask you more about Okay, I one of you that
284
00:13:57.120 --> 00:13:58.879
proves that you do have a be to meddle in
285
00:13:58.919 --> 00:13:59.440
your veins.
286
00:14:01.200 --> 00:14:08.559
Halloween yeah, well yeah, I mean I don't know. I
287
00:14:08.600 --> 00:14:13.000
always do Halloween up pretty big, I gotta say, which
288
00:14:13.039 --> 00:14:16.000
is so funny, Like we've I've gotten, I've gotten so much.
289
00:14:17.919 --> 00:14:20.200
You know, I love to dress up really really ugly
290
00:14:20.279 --> 00:14:23.480
on Halloween because I have to dress up pretty the
291
00:14:23.559 --> 00:14:26.679
rest of the year. So you know, it's my opportunity
292
00:14:26.799 --> 00:14:29.960
just to go as you know, disgusting as I want,
293
00:14:30.039 --> 00:14:31.279
you know, dark disgusting.
294
00:14:31.360 --> 00:14:31.919
Let's go for it.
295
00:14:32.000 --> 00:14:33.480
But that was one of my best I mean, I
296
00:14:33.559 --> 00:14:37.039
use the special effects horns and you know, that was
297
00:14:37.039 --> 00:14:37.679
a fun look.
298
00:14:38.039 --> 00:14:40.080
That was a good one, very nice.
299
00:14:40.320 --> 00:14:42.240
And the other one I found was.
300
00:14:45.559 --> 00:14:49.080
Do you seriously play in high hills and then negotiate
301
00:14:49.120 --> 00:14:50.480
your pedal boards with them on?
302
00:14:51.879 --> 00:14:52.080
Yeah?
303
00:14:52.080 --> 00:14:52.440
I do.
304
00:14:52.879 --> 00:14:56.360
Hall the hell I got the back problems to prove it.
305
00:14:58.720 --> 00:14:59.320
Just say good.
306
00:15:00.600 --> 00:15:03.879
You know, Honestly, those stilettos kind of create like a
307
00:15:03.960 --> 00:15:07.080
nice little point, so it's easier to push the buttons
308
00:15:07.080 --> 00:15:09.360
than when I'm like when I wear big like I'll
309
00:15:09.399 --> 00:15:11.639
wear my doctor Martins to sound check, and I'm like
310
00:15:11.879 --> 00:15:14.399
stamping on all the buttons at the same time, Like Jesus,
311
00:15:14.480 --> 00:15:18.039
how how do people do this with their regular big,
312
00:15:18.480 --> 00:15:21.080
clumsy shoes on. I feel like you kind of have
313
00:15:21.159 --> 00:15:23.440
to have a nice, narrow little point to be precise.
314
00:15:24.799 --> 00:15:26.960
I'm saying other photos, if you jump it all over
315
00:15:27.000 --> 00:15:30.840
the place on side Joe, you just shouldn't happen. You
316
00:15:30.840 --> 00:15:32.799
shouldn't be out to jump and move and should just
317
00:15:32.879 --> 00:15:33.200
like that.
