most badass, beautiful voices ever. I love the track Freazy so incredibly much that I have it tattooed on me! I saw them live at Big Top and Groovin the Moo earlier this year, and they have definitely been my favourite gigs of the year.

What’s your all-time favourite album and why? Bloom by Beach House has completely and utterly change my life since hearing it for the first time. It is the most gorgeous, ethereal, well put together piece of art that I’ve ever had the

pleasure of listening to, and it’ll always be my all-time favourite album. Other People is my forever comfort song. I would give anything to see Beach House live, as they mean everything to me. <3 Do you have a vinyl collection? If so, how did it begin, and expand? I absolutely do! It actually began at JB probably five or six years ago, when I purchased Paradise by Lana Del Rey on vinyl for the first time! Since then I’ve collected all of her albums on vinyl, in heaps of dope pressings. My collection has grown exponentially since starting at JB and I now own just over 125 records. I love being surrounded by music all the time (especially vinyl because I am obsessed). and being able to have conversations with customers and other staff members about the music that we love. I’ve met so many incredible people who are also super passionate about music through working at JB! What do you enjoy most about working at JB?

It was the first album I properly fell in love with and I still treasure it so much to this day. I saw Florence live a few years ago for the first time, and it was the most surreal full-circle moment for me. Probably the best night of my life. Which recent album do you currently have on repeat? I am completely obsessed with Wolf Alice! I think they’re one of the best bands making music currently. All three of their albums are always on rotation for me, especially their debut My Love Is Cool. It’s got such a sick range of sounds and vibes, and the lead singer Ellie has one of the
