Hatchie is Harriette Pilbeam, and when she’s not playing in the Australian rock band Babaganouj, she’s creating her own dream-pop music. It started last year with her debut single, “Try,” which became a huge hit in her home country, and now, she’s released her first solo EP, called Sugar & Spice. We’ll hear some of those lush soundscapes in a live set today, and Harriette talks with host Stephen Kallao about what it was like to strike out on her own as a solo artist, and why she buries her more personal lyrics in a wall of sound. Hatchie, on the World Cafe.
