Maria Lessing joins me for one of Future Palace's most personal interviews yet. We dive into the band's powerful new album, the creative process behind it, and the emotional battles that nearly made Maria walk away from music altogether.

From burnout and self-doubt to finding the strength to keep creating, this conversation goes far beyond the typical album interview.

If you're a fan of Future Palace—or simply appreciate honest conversations about mental health, perseverance, and the realities of life as a musician—this is an interview you won't want to miss.
