In this episode, we chat with Irish artist Elaine Mai, whose atmospheric and melodic electronic music we love. We had the pleasure to see her perform at Body and Soul. She tells us a very interesting story about that performance that we both found kind of surprising. And as with all other interviews we have done, we don’t shy away from the more serious stuff like grief. In fact grief is a very big part of her quite positive and energetic EP Enniscrone, which Elaine released last year.
