Heard on the show
Starling. Four-piece out of Los Angeles: Kasha Souter Willett on vocals and guitar, with Gitai Vinshtok, Grace Rolek and drummer Erik Sathrum Johnson. Willett started the project in 2023 and the full lineup settled in May 2024. They call the sound 'soft heaviness,' somewhere between grunge, singer-songwriter intimacy and shoegaze. 'Falling Down a Mystery Hillside' is on the debut EP 2324 (September 2024), followed by the EP Forgive Me, (June 2025) on Sunday Drive Records. That one's entirely self-made. Written over about a year, recorded by the band in sheds, apartments and garages, mixed by their own drummer, artwork shot by the band and their friends. Only the mastering got sent out.
