In this episode of Inlet Wire, Eric Chan speaks with Sarah and Bobby from Focus Your Audio, a Vancouver duo making thoughtful, emotional songs about connection.
They talk about starting as an acoustic duo, growing into a fuller band sound, and finding a writing process that gives each person space before bringing the song together.
The conversation also goes into the story behind “The Long Goodbye,” a song inspired by Sarah’s experience as a nurse and a family living through dementia.
Sarah and Bobby also reflect on working in the studio with Mike Young of Mother Mother and producer-songwriter Adam Hurstfield, and how those collaborations helped them think more deeply about texture, vulnerability, and emotion in recording.
