Hej Basia Bulat!

Basia Bulat har allt. Hon har en röst och talang som både Joni Mitchell och First Aid Kit mycket väl skulle kunna vara avundsjuka på, hon har gett ut tre skivor på Rough Trade, har supercreddiga vänner som hon åker på turné med och hon kommer från ett land där man är jätteduktig på hockey. Dessutom är hon hur trevlig som helst, och hon gillar Göteborg. Vi vill bara behålla henne för alltid, men hon är bara vår för en kväll på Pustervik. För den här gången!

How are you?

– Very well, thank you! How are you?!

Great, thank you! It's friday and I just got paid, so everythings just perfect. What's on your mind at the moment?

– Going to sleep after a very fun show at Scandic Central

… and in general?

– Oh you know, life and love

What would you say that most of your songs are about?

– See above …

How has your music changed since On My Darling? And how have you changed?

– That's a big question! I think I have changed quite a bit but it's hard for me to give an objective opinion about that! I think perhaps I could say I feel more confident in myself, and hopefully that translates into the music as well.

We love a good story, what's your best on tour-memory?

– Actually one of the best tour memories I have is from a show I did in Goteborg a few years ago. In a church as part of the way out west festival. That show is burned into my memory forever because of the amazing energy of the people that night, and I think it was the most genuine call for an encore I've ever experienced. So it was quite moving for me. Nights like that are what makes a musician's life worth living.

If you were to quit the music business all together and start a political party that dealt with just one particular issue, what would that issue be?

– Hm, I wouldn't/couldn't even in a hypothetical world quit music! I can only speak to my own experience as a citizen/voter in Canada but I think most major issues there are interconnected with others. I worry that the tendency right now is to be too reductive and simplistic about the issues we're facing and I feel the national conversation right now suffers for it… But I'm just a musician so what do I know!

We find ourself always listening to the same playlists at the office, could we ask you for some guidance? Anything you think we really really need to listen to?

– U.S. Girls' "28 Days" and "Dead Deer" by Evening Hymns, and I've been listening a lot to Owen Pallet's last album, Heartland, which I'm sure you know and love but go listen to it again!

We will turn it on right away! Thank you!
