Mick Harvey - founding member of The Birthday Party, The Bad Seeds and Crime And The City Solution. On top of that, he’s done everything from recording two albums of Serge Gainsbourg covers to being long term collaborator with PJ Harvey. Amanda Acevedo was a fan in Mexico who, during lockdown, plucked up courage and asked him if he’d like to work on a song with her. Forward a few years and what started out as a sort of end of the world dare has morphed into an album of duets: Phantasmagoria in Blue. Mick and Amanda talk with Paul about everything from their creative process, which involved the guiding principle of making everything "slow and depressing" to how Nick Cave’s love of Karen Carpenter nearly derailed a gig at the Hacienda.

Their album, Phantasmagoria in Blue is available 1st September, pre-order here.
