Fresh Energy is mixing it up for Earth Day with a podcast takeover by Palms Psalm, a music project created by Eric Pasi!

Tune in for a listening session of Palms Psalm's new release, "Otuhaka" with Fresh Energy's Jo Olson and Eric Pasi. "Otuhaka" is an album full of songs that weave surf rock with island vibes in a reflection on climate-fueled annihilation, specifically recalling old Polynesian music dug up by Eric, a first-generation Tongan-American.
Join Eric and Jo as they listen to and discuss five songs from the album, along with Eric's inspiration, background, process, and more.
IMPORTANT NOTICE for sensitive listeners and people listening with children. There are a few instances of explicit words used in this podcast, please be aware.
