  • Snowing Interview
    Dec 1 2025

    It's officially December, which means its officially snowing season. So what better way to welcome in the cold than an interview with cult classic band, Snowing. We sat down with Willow Brazuk and JR back when the sun was still around at New Friends Fest in Toronto—their first time ever playing in Canada. Also joined by our friends Paul and Zac from Farron Keep, we talked about the wonder that was their debut/last record: I Could Do Whatever I Wanted If I Wanted. The episode closes with music from Farron Keep's "The Weight of Rain" so tune in to hear it live on CJAM 99.1 FM Windsor-Detroit

  • Soft Blue Shimmer Interview
    Nov 18 2025

    Char and Meredith of Soft Blue Shimmer, along with producer Corey Coffman, join Weajue for a conversation about "They Will Leave Us With Nothing." It’s a record about capitalism, bodily grief, and what we pass between us when the system leaves us with nothing. This three-sided emotional triangle made it one of the hardest albums Corey has ever produced, and make it all the more resonant for us today. Recorded at Taylor Creek Park in Toronto (my favourite :)

  • Allegra Krieger Interview
    Oct 20 2025

    Allegra Krieger joins Weajue for a conversation about her album Art of the Unseen Infinity Machine—a record that grapples with impermanence, and the liminal spaces of existence. We talk about the Infinity Machine as a mechanism moving through us, signs, talismans and dream. She explains the strange trinity of pain and joy and compromise, the act of absolving yourself and your body, the binary of here or not-here, and what it means to sit with the pull toward "over and out" when nothing is yours to keep. Recorded outside the Opera House in Toronto on the final night of her tour with Foxwarren.

    We end off the episode playing tracks from Foxwarren's latest record, 2.
