Interview with Sydney Band Mega Fäuna on Debut Album 'softmore' and Creative Process

Sydney-based indie band Mega Fäuna, led by members Tess Wilkin and Freyja Fox, discussed their upcoming debut album 'softmore' in an interview. The album, described as a dreamy exploration of womanhood's complexities, was created with support from a Sound NSW grant and producer Guy Fenech. The group's formation focused on bringing together women outside existing music circles, prioritizing curiosity over skill. Their songwriting process is collaborative, with tracks like 'heartbeat' examining bodily rhythms and daily life pressures. The band cites female-led Australian acts like Annie Hamilton and Stella Donnelly as influences.
