#270: Collaboration vs. Isolation with Jesse Mac Cormack

Jesse Mac Cormack is a musician and producer who just released his new album, SOLO, on Secret City Records. Mac Cormack summons a sonic world that’s razor-edged and intimate, influenced by the textured electronics of James Blake, Little Dragon, Caribou, and SUUNS. 

Jesse and I spoke about how he created his album in isolation during the pandemic with limited gear and equipment. We explored how these limitations helped his creativity, and contrasted that with his return to collaboration with others.
