Josh and Shelby made a long distance call to Zak Olsen [Traffik Island, ORB, Hierophant, The Frowning Clouds] in Melbourne on April 27th, 2020. Zak is a stellar, prolific songwriter and multi-instrumentalist wizard who doesn't pigeonhole himself to a single genre. He's diligent to the craft and usually chooses to spend his days in his studio. He's most likely there right now. Like, right now. Traffik Island's newest record is titled 'Sweat Kollecta's Peanut Butter Traffik Jam' and it's a genre-bending, beat-driven, groovy record that you should check out right meow.
