IMOGEN CLARK Interview - Australian / Nashville Singer Songwriter - New Album Choking on Fuel

Matt and Rob Interview Australian/Nashville Singer Songwriter Imogen Clark for the 2nd time!

Last May we interviewed Imogen right after she had moved to Nashville from Australia.  We catch up with her and find out all the incredible things that she's been doing in the last year including meeting us back in October in Montclair (Outpost in the Burbs) when she opened for Robyn Hitchcock.

We talk about Robyn and her relationship to him and his wife, going to Red Rocks and shooting a video, her new album "Choking on Fuel" and her upcoming shows in the UK (she leaves for England tomorrow)

Her new album is a re-imagined toned down album of songs from last year's release of "The Art of Getting Through".  Both albums are simply amazing.  Not only does Imogen have such a beautiful, natural voice but her songs are lyrically unforgettable.

We find out in this interview:
How the Australian Band MIDNIGHT CHICKEN really got there name (not what Rob thinks)
What a FARM PARK is
Was meeting Rob & Matt last October one of the highlights of her tour?
and 
What MYSTERY QUESTION will Imogen pick ... last two interviews the #6 was picked.. will it be a third time for #6 ?

Imogen is one of the nicest, sweetest people you'd ever want to meet and we had such a great conversation with her.  We will definitley talk to her again and meet her again in the near future.
Be sure to check out her music!

SOPHIE CORAN Interview - Philadelphia Singer Songwriter

Rob and Matt had the pleasure of talking to Singer/Songwriter Sophie Coran a week or so ago.

Sophie's new album "I don't go to New York anymore" was just released.

The album is a beautiful indie pop album that doesn't disappoint.  Very dreamy, 14 beautifully constructed songs.  A couple of the songs are experimental.. the album is a wonderful journey into the indie pop realm.. We just love this album!

We talk to Sophie about her new apartment, her cats, toy pianos, why she doesn't go to New York anymore, Jeffrey Campbell Boots, her 7 visualizer videos, teaching piano and we find out a couple non-music things about Sophie... what is her favorite Philly food and the last movie she saw in the theater... 

****
A LITTLE ABOUT SOPHIE
Sophie is a singer/songwriter based in Philadelphia.  
When she was two years old, she asked her mom for a “pi-na-no.” Music has always been a huge part of her life, in fact, she's not sure there’s ever been a period of time where music wasn’t a defining factor in her decisions. 
From piano lessons, to learning to write down the songs she heard in her head, to studying classical composition in college, she knew music would always be present in one way or another.
After graduating from MSM, she spent some time abroad, landing in London, and then back to Philly, where she is currently based.
