A new MAKE // BREAK just dropped

Hey you.

For the first issue of Lowkey Hellish, I want to share today’s new episode of my podcast MAKE // BREAK. This time I’m talking with Garrett Anthony Rice, an Irish songwriter whose double album Equinox has already drawn praise as one of the most ambitious debuts in recent memory.

Garrett and I dug into what it means to make music that carries truth and weight in an industry obsessed with algorithms and trends. He definitely doesn’t hold back, calling out “two-chord clones,” streaming saturation, but overall I think he shows how persistence and authenticity still remain the best markers of success.

👀 A few things you’ll hear:
• Why formulaic music misses the mark, and what artistry really demands
• Honest debate about Spotify stats and what they mean for artists
• Ways to balance business and creativity without losing the magic

It’s raw, passionate, and no matter what, I strive to make it worth your time.

Let me know what you think.

Yours,

Lance
