E058 Jean-Philip Grobler (St. Lucia)

Jean-Philip Grobler, the frontman of indie synthpop band, St. Lucia, joins us on this episode of The Adamantium Podcast. We discuss the making of their last album, Hyperion, working with U2 producer Rob Kirwan, the decision to do an acoustic album and tour, and how it’s refreshed the band. We also talk about the balance of optimism and melancholy in their music, their first recorded cover song, traveling Asia, and Hayao Miyazaki films.
