Sam and Dave speak with revered Australian singer-songwriter Ainslie Wills about the Melbourne music scene, resilience, Radiohead and the value of knowing yourself.
Shayne Cook is a Brisbane bred, Melbourne based singer/songwriter who writes hypnotic songs ranging from dark, simple and haunting to unleashed emotional outpourings. His musical influences span from Nick Cave to Ainslie Wills and Bon Iver, City and Colour, Tom Isanek to Thom York, Emma Louise and even some Seattle based artists. Matters of the Heart features a 12 string acoustic waltzing with the rhythm section while Shayne’s heartfelt vocals describe the decisions made by the heart and also those made by the head. The impulsive and the well thought out. The questions we ask about what is or what isn’t “right", making a choice fraught with risk. Knowing all well the probability of failure, but still going ahead anyway. The junction between letting go or holding on tight and seeing where love leads. Cook originally thought the track was a throwaway demo, but album producer Simon Moro heard it and suggested they see how it developed. His ideas and finesse as a producer/engineer, including utilising contacts at the City of Prague Symphony Orchestra for strings on the song, helped ensure the song made the cut for his debut, and indeed become the album’s first single.

Ainslie Wills: Live at Black Bear Lodge, Fortitude Valley, 28th August 2019 Ainslie Wills started making her own music after hearing the seminal Jeff Buckley album "Grace" and has hardly let up since. Since the debut of her first self-titled EP in 2007, she has toured and recorded across the country, releasing the "Somebody For Everyone" EP in 2010, "You Go Your Way, I'll Go Mine" album in 2013, "Oh The Gold" EP in 2015 and most recently the album "All You Have Is All You Need" in 2019. She frequently collaborates with musician Lawrence Folvig and producer Jono Steer, both of whom were present when this set was recorded - Folvig playing in the band onstage and Steer behind the mixing desk. On the Brisbane leg of this tour, a reverential Wednesday night audience witnessed some extraordinary musical highlights as well as some more humorous moments.

Ainslie Wills is a musical explorer. Her songs weave and move in such beguiling ways taking the listener on a sonic journey yet they are always held together firmly by the elegance and captivation of her voice. Her recent single ‘Society’ was voted one of the top 5 songs of the years by her peers in the APRA AMCOS song of the year contest which is quite the honour! We sat down to discuss songwriting sessions, being honest in your music, whether yoga is useless enough to be considered a hobby and a whole bunch more. All music on the podcast by Joshua Moriarty & All The Colours. Check out Ainslie’s single ‘Society’ - https://awal.lnk.to/society ‘Running Second’ live- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iUjKHJm-9gc ‘Fear Of Missing Out’ Live at ACMI during Melbourne Music Week- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HXig4wQVTlc

We finally break the seal on Jeff Buckley's iconic 'Grace' as acclaimed Melbourne melodist Ainslie Wills joins me for a nuanced unpacking of whether Buckley was ahead of his time, the foregrounding of tone in music, falling in love with this album before Buckley died, that cover of 'Hallelujah' and its use in The West Wing and Ainslie's experience covering songs like 'Lover You Should've Come Over'.

Each episode features a guest on their favorite album of all time - why they love it, their history with the album and how it's influenced them.
