Ep 139: AURORA on this moment of human crises, why fame is sh*t and her music husband Brian Eno

Look around and you’d be forgiven for feeling the world is completely broken in 2024. War. Division. Crises. How did we get here? That’s the fundamental question Norwegian songwriter AURORA explores on her latest album What Happened To The Heart?. It’s a project that is technicolor in feeling, and in sound. Host Greg Cochrane went to meet her to talk about activism, conflict and why she and the iconic Brian Eno are like “an old married couple”. It’s a deep listen, for sure, but these are deep times – even if you can focus on the glimmers of light.  You can watch clips of the podcast online now, just give us a follow on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/midnightchatspod">Instagram </a>@midnightchatspod.
