Ep. 95: Chewing on 'Songs For Linnéa' & making a sonic scrapbook of his daughter's infancy

Chewing, aka Local Natives' Nik Ewing, wanted to create a sonic scrapbook of sorts for his daughter Linnéa. When she was an infant, he would hold her in one arm, & play the piano with the other. The improvised melodies soon became full songs, & those songs in turn became an album: Songs For Linnéa. Our conversation covers everything from childhood music memories & bonding with one's own children, to finding acceptance in turbulent times. Be sure to listen to 'Songs For Linnéa', wherever you stream or buy your music!
