Surprise Cast #107 Amelia Fletcher/Rob Pursey

Welcome to a highly entertaining and warm episode of Surprise Cast, where we explore the vibrant journeys of indie music legends, Amelia Fletcher and Rob Pursey.

Broadcasting from the serene landscapes of rural Kent, England, they share anecdotes from their rich musical journey, discussing everything from the beauty of Romney Marsh (“beautiful flat”) to their experiences with weather in England and upcoming travels to the Bay Area for a special show in San Francisco. The episode is also filled with light-hearted banter, as they tackle ice-breaking questions at the onset of the conversation.

In this episode, listeners are treated to a deep dive into the creative process as Rob and Amelia discuss the challenges and joys of songwriting. They explore the themes of collaboration and inspiration, offering insights into how they navigate creative decisions in their projects like Heavenly and the The Catenary Wires. The conversation takes an introspective turn as they reflect on personal experiences, such as the impact of family relationships (“my dad just telling me that I was singing out of tune...it actually kind of encouraged me to get better at harmony”) / (“it somehow expressed my anxiety about the missing bird”)and life-changing moments.

Listeners will also enjoy exclusive insights into tracks from their projects, including the driving rhythms of Swansea Sound's "20th Century" and the ethereal harmonies of the The Catenary Wires' "The Overview Effect."

Tune in for a really heartwarming and touching conversation that not only celebrates Rob and Amelia's vast contributions to indie music but also delves into the broader themes of success, endless creativity, and the enduring power of intelligent music. With a mix of humor, nostalgia, and profound insights, this episode is a must-listen for fans. They really are such Heavenly creatures of positivity and wonderful ambassadors of indie music.
