[drum music] So welcome so much to The Tuckshop, Lottie McLeod.

We are so, so happy to have you here.

We've been playing you for years.

We've been your number one fans, waving the flag left, right and center.

And we're talking a few days after the release of The Boathouse.

How are the emotions feeling? How have the last few days been?

It's been really...

It's, it's, it's gotten a better response than I could have imagined.

It's getting, like...

I feel like my last EP, it's really cool to put music into the world, but I feel like this, the songs that aren't singles are for, like, people that are, like, really dedicated and just are really there for it.

And obviously I love the singles, that's why I put them out as singles.

Um, but yeah, they obviously get more attention, which is awesome.

But even the ones that aren't singles, people are listening to, which is really [laughs] really cool to know that people are actually listening to the whole body of work.

And yeah, 'cause I'm so proud of it and it's all very intentional, and it's just really cool to see people, uh, really taking it in.

It's a wonderful EP.

The singles are incredibly strong.

I think the whole EP i- is really, really strong, and is such a wonderful evolution from Bug.

Obviously, this is your second EP.

How has the rollout and everything been different this time around? Has it felt much different from your first time?

Yeah, definitely.

I think the first time around, I didn't have it in my head that it was gonna be an EP.

I was just going into the studio and putting out singles as I was making music, and I didn't really have an EP in mind or a name or any sort of project.

It was just, "This is what I did last month," kind of thing, which is cool.

But I've, over the last few years I've just been really into just the intentional track list order and the stories behind, you know, little time capsules of songs.

And I think that's what The Boathouse is for me.
