JGrrey : “Can we talk about me for a second?”īaxter : She kept on going back about, “How did you meet her?” I couldn’t really explain that you’d contacted me via Instagram, because it didn’t make sense in the conversation. It was almost like, Can we get over this? But you’re being played on the radio, which is good, right?īaxter : I did a big interview with Nemone, and she loves you. I don’t want to put myself under the pressure of releasing a debut album just yet.īaxter : Well, you avoid that, because that’s quite a heavyweight thing that overfocused on. As soon as you start calling it - because it’d be my debut album, wouldn’t it? So, nah, it’s just a little project.

JGrrey : Well, I wouldn’t call it an album. Really excited for your album to be out and my project to be out.īaxter : When is your when is your album out? I’m really excited about everything I’ve got going on. That combination of rubbish characteristics - that’s quite a good little character.īaxter : Just a horrible baby. But then I thought, Shit, there’s nothing worse than a Mockney nepo baby. Because since I wrote that album, there’s a whole thing about nepo babies. It was all a mirage past that.īaxter : Yeah, sort of disappointing. But yeah, the Japanese organic sweets threw me off. It was really exciting, because you knew what you wanted. I think you’re the first person I’ve ever thought to myself, I’ll reach out on social media on the off chance … Then I was thinking about all the sessions, and how you had a very specific way of working. JGrrey : I was thinking about this the other day, about how ridiculous it is that I slid in your DMs, really - which I’ve never done, by the way. You accused me of being really posh, because you saw me eating organic Japanese snacks. That was what you’d call a hairline fracture, where my class myth was broken. JGrrey : If people knew the snacks that you were eating in the studio…īaxter : That was the incriminating point. I haven’t seen you not wearing a really smart suit and a vest for a while.īaxter : In my promo, I was thinking that the valley between the character that I’ve created - as a sort of sleazy persona - and the realities of my couscous and avocado and early night is so vast now… Have you done something different with - oh, you know what it is? You’re not wearing a suit. JGrrey : Well, I quite enjoy seeing you, so we’ll keep it on for now. It’s a performance.īaxter : I don’t like it. I’m narcissistic and like, Maybe this angle is better … Then it’s not a conversation, is it? If you can see yourself, it’s not a conversation. JGrrey : I think it’s, you’re suddenly aware of how much attention you’re commanding, isn’t it? Especially when the camera will change to you speaking and everyone’s hanging on your word, as to whether you’re going to conclude or resolve or are you just going to talk rubbish.īaxter : I realize how many quirky and weird facial expressions I have, and I don’t like it. Why does Zoom make me feel like I’ve done something wrong? Do you get a Zoom syndrome?īaxter : I feel guilty. Annie Fell, Editor-in-chief, Talkhouse Musicīaxter Dury : I can say that I’m on my seventh zoom of the day.īaxter : I get a Zoom syndrome. JGrrey contributed to Baxter’s new record, I Thought I Was Better Than You, is out tomorrow via Heavenly Recordings, so to celebrate, the two hopped on a Zoom call to catch up about its recording, about being an “economy nepo baby,” and much more.
