Ashlee Kehoe of Floodlights on New Album ‘Underneath’, Going Underwater for “Buoyant” & Her Ultimate Mixtape. The Mixtape Podcast Episode 102

In this episode of The Mixtape, we’re joined by Ashlee Kehoe of acclaimed Australian indie rock band Floodlights to talk about their stunning new album “Underneath.” Ashlee walks us through the themes and creative process behind the record, and shares the story behind the band’s powerful live performance video on YouTube, where they perform the entire album in one take.

We also dive into the making of the music video for the single “Buoyant,” which saw Ashlee spending nearly two days submerged in a pool to bring the song’s vision to life. It’s a conversation full of creative commitment, storytelling, and the unique challenges of translating sound into visuals.

As always on The Mixtape, Ashlee curates a personal 6-song mixtape, highlighting the artists and tracks that have inspired her musical journey.

Whether you’re a fan of Floodlights or exploring new sounds in indie rock, this episode offers an inside look at one of Australia’s most exciting bands.
