Idle Wave’s song “Stay” has seen a lot of action in its time: scrapping a pop-punk demo in favor of a more emo approach, trespassing to film a music video (which we do not condone) and more. In this episode we talk about some of the inspiration of the song, feeling vulnerable and foreign in your own apartment, and performing the song for a direct-to-vinyl live session.
