Catch Eaves Wilder and New & Approved's Sarah Davenport chat all about Eaves' new EP ‘Hookey’. Eaves and Sarah chat all things Catfish, Kathleen Hanna and causing chaos in school. "Its basically about bunking off. I spent most of my teens playing hookey in the music room at school. That’s where I wrote songs and taught myself instruments. ‘Are You Diagnosed’ was literally written in the middle of my French GCSE class, and I remember mixing my first demos of ‘Morning Rain’ under my desk in sixth form. Through lyrics, production, or melody, my main thing is always adding as many hooks as possible - or how can I expect people to listen? My inner dialogue when writing or jamming is MAKE IT MORE HOOKEY!!!! Each song is kind of a different perspective of where I was and why I wasn’t there.” - Eaves Wilder on the Hookey EP See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
