CMAT takes the wheel for the first episode in her Artist In Residence run, kicking things off with a whirlwind tour of her Indie obsessions — from the jagged brilliance of XTC to the lush sounds of Katy J Pearson and Bombay Bicycle Club. Expect chaotic anecdotes and CMAT’s hot take on who’s defining modern indie. Would you expect anything less? PLUS, if that wasn't enough, on BBC iPlayer, you can watch CMAT and her producer Oli Deakin give a breakdown of her tracks 'Running/Planning', 'Jamie Oliver Petrol Station', and 'I wanna be a Cowboy, Baby!' at the iconic Maida Vale Studios.
