About this episode
Our guest today is the musician Sameer Gandhia. Sameer is the lead singer of the band Young the Giant, a Los Angeles based group who've released four albums so far, including, most recently, Mirror Master, which came out about a year ago. He is also a big Elliott Smith fan, and in this interview he talks about how he's finding new appreciation for Elliott as his own career progresses, how he became a fan of his music and Sameer also talks through his favourite song pick too. We round off the episode with a listener choice, which comes from Sam Harris from Brighton in the UK.
