Our guest today is Australian jazz-funk collective Surprise Chef. The Melbourne-based instrumental five-piece make lush, cinematic music that channels the spirit of 1970s funk, soul, and jazz while carving out a sound entirely their own. With global support from outlets like BBC Radio 6 and Double J—and co-signs from Questlove and DJ Nu-Mark—the band have become known for their immersive live shows and richly textured recordings. In May, they released their fourth album Superb—a groove-laden, exploratory record that sees the group leaning into a looser, more instinctive songwriting process. In today’s episode, guitarist and songwriter Lachlan Stuckey joins us to talk about the making of Superb, the decision to relax their usual songwriting process, and how the band captures that same spirit on stage. We also get into the music that’s inspiring him right now.Surprise Chef: Instagram / Spotify Find tour dates and more information about Surprise Chef hereVisit our official website here and follow us across our socials.
