“what’s your train track?”
Indie from overpass joins to share her Train Tracks that have shaped her, the world behind overpass' debut album, and what it really means to finally release music you've been holding onto.
overpass have quickly become one of the most exciting emerging bands in the UK scene, known for their emotionally honest songwriting and a live show that has built a cult following from festivals to their own tours. Their music sits in that rare space where the personal becomes universal - songs about being in your early 20s, figuring it all out, and finding your people. Now, with their debut album on the horizon, Indie shares the moments that have soundtracked this chapter of the band's journey.
In this interview, Indie shares the four songs that define where she is right now - from Elliott Smith to rediscovering New Order through a Luca Guadagnino film - and reflects on what it means to be a band built through lockdown, finally getting to play it all out loud.
