‘For the “Coquelicot” music video my idea was to show the power dynamic between two people. You’ll notice that Disiz and I are always separated in some way, by a wall, a doorway, a distance. Even when we exist in the same space, our paths never physically cross. You can be connected to someone and still never fully reach them.‘
spill tab brings her dreamy, off-kilter pop world to KEXP with a live session built around her full-length debut, ‘ANGIE’, and its deluxe edition. Known for blurring bedroom pop, indie, and experimental production, she has a sound that feels loose and intimate while still landing with sharp hooks and personality.
The session includes songs from the deluxe record, including “Suckerrr”, performed in the stripped-back but expressive setting KEXP is known for. It’s a good window into the world of ‘ANGIE’, where spill tab pushes outside clean genre lines and lets the songs sit somewhere between playful, vulnerable, and quietly surreal.
For anyone unfamiliar, KEXP is a nonprofit radio station and international community built around music discovery, with a long-running reputation for capturing artists in honest, high-quality live performances. Watch spill tab’s full session now via the KEXP YouTube channel.
