Our guests today are Australia’s favourite indie darlings, Ball Park Music. For over a decade, they’ve been one of the country’s most influential indie bands, earning ARIA, AIR, and APRA Award nominations while becoming triple J favourites since their 2011 debut, Happiness and Surrounding Suburbs. Today, they return with their eighth studio album, Like Love—a sonic evolution that leans into folk and singer-songwriter influences while keeping their signature Ball Park charm intact. In today’s episode, we welcome back frontman Sam Cromack to discuss Like Love and the creative shifts behind it. We explore the band’s musical flexibility—how it’s both a blessing and a challenge—and dive into Sam’s songwriting process and approach to crafting new material.
