Pickle Darling Performs 'Everything Is Flammable' - UTR Trash Recital Episode 7

We're stoked to share the seventh episode of our new web series created in collaboration with the talented gang at Sports Team: UTR Trash Recital!

For each episode of Trash Recital we've invited some of our favourite Aotearoa artists into the UTR studios to perform one of their signature songs, re-created using everyday items selected from a treasure trove of literal trash, collected by Sports Team from Tāmaki Makaurau's finest op shops / second hand stores. Trash Recital not only provides a launchpad for stunning reimaginings of recent classic tunes, but also the perfect opportunity for a chinwag with our local musical heroes.

From humble bedroom-pop beginnings, Ōtautahi's Pickle Darling aka songwriter and producer Lukas Mayo has attracted fans across the globe for their dreamily infectious and emotive musical creations. Wrapping up their first ever nationwide tour with live band this coming weekend, we were blimmin' thrilled to invite Mayo and bandmate Cameron Finlay to dig through the UTR trash pile and reinvent from scratch 'Everything Is Flammable' — from their newly released second album Cosmonaut via Slovakian imprint Z Tapes. There's a sneaky shoutout in the song to fellow Pickle Darling live band member Mousey aka Sarena Close, who pops in to say hi via the magic of digital phone technology. Treat your eyes and ears to 'Everything Is Flammable' and keep it locked for episode 8 in two weeks time...
