Sleeping with your instruments with Elsa y Elmar, Will Joseph Cook, Soko and Jules Crommelin (Parcels)

Columbian spiritual pop artist Elsa y Elmar is joined by Will Joseph Cook, Soko and Jules Crommelin to discuss why musicians have negative thoughts while working alone, and how to preserve the unpredictable magic of the demo recording process.

Now based in Los Angeles, French singer-songwriter, model, and actress Soko makes moody, sultry indie-pop music. After a musical hiatus, she returned in 2020 with her third album Feel Feelings, which tackles themes of queer love, therapy, toxic relationships, and motherhood.

Jules Crommelin is lead singer and guitarist of Parcels, a funk-pop band based in Berlin, and formed in Byron Bay, Australia. Their debut electro-pop EP Clockscared caught the attention of French techno giants Daft Punk, with whom they collaborated on 2017 single Overnight.

UK pop artist Will Joseph Cook taught himself music production and is a huge presence on Tiktok, where he posts videos on everything from how he crafts his music to songs he’s written about his favourite films.
