An Interview with Her's for Selector Radio
ฝัง

- Notice: We are truly shocked and saddened to hear the awful news this morning that Her's have died in a car accident along with their tour manager in the US on their latest tour. Audun and Stephen were two of the nicest guys we’ve had in session for Selector Radio - our thoughts are with their friends, family and fans.
The seeds of Her’s have well and truly rooted themselves in Liverpool, UK. Originally a meeting of minds between Norway’s Audun Laading and Barrow-born Stephen Fitzpatrick, Her’s forged a strong chemical bond through a mutual love of off-kilter humour and outsider art.
Having clocked over one million streams between the two tracks on their debut single ‘Dorothy’ and ‘What Once Was’, and after following it up with the lackadaisical thrift-store humour of their sun-bleached single ‘Marcel’ and the exhilarating surf romp of ‘Speed Racer’, Her’s released a rollicking document of their infant career so far in 'Songs of Her’s', a collection of all their recorded output to date.
As well as recent support tours with Wild Nothing and Dutch Uncles, Her's greatly impressed at six SXSW showcases and returned to accompany Happyness on their UK tour.
These outsiders are leaving a trail of bleeding hearts and dropped jaws. At this rate, 2017 is theirs.

I've never been so sad for the death of someone I never met
Murillo Prestes my sadness has turned into anger. The idiot that hit them is useless beyond words. 15+ miles in the wrong direction. And for what? Because he had to get loaded and drive in the middle of nowhere for god knows what reason.
never related to a comment so much
Murillo Prestes same :(
Same here :(
Often find myself crying over them, so unfair.
"I feel like maybe we're in the cusp of something right now". God fucking dammit they were. This is so sad
Just discovered these guys only to find out what happened. Christ almighty, what a total waste and tragedy of 2 kids, really. You could hear them going somewhere, they were so talented and excited to show what they could do. Just 2 kids chasing a dream to end like that...RIP fellas, thank you for everything.
''Maybe we are on the cusp of something right now'' 1:16 said Stephen. Very sad.
I said to my friends 3 months ago : come with me at their concert, in a few time they will become legends. I wished to see them one more time...
I’ve never been so sad over someone I’ve never meet😢
They certainly were on the cusp of becoming massive.. so sad
Felt the same when Tom Petty passed away
So sad to see them in this interview planning the future of the band and now they have been so tragically taken before their time. I'm sure they would have produced so much more amazing music. RIP guy's
@Le Faucheur yes there is a lot to be said for living in the present. We just never know what is around the corner do we?.
@Le Faucheur Well said. It seemed like they were having an amazing time touring the US when tragedy happened.
I miss them more than I could ever express. I'm still mourning. I still cry listening to them knowing that there won't be any more.
@Smõl PeePee I’m grateful I found them. We shouldn’t constantly be sad they are gone, but we should be happy they lived. I will definitely remember them for all my life. They were so freaking talented and they had so much ahead of them. Just sucks their talent is now gone. And no one, and absolute no one will ever replace them.
Me too :( it's almost 2 years since they passed and I still can't believe it.
My sister died in a car wreck when she was 26 along with her husband and a friend. This story reminded me of her tragedy and I feel the pain for their family and friends. Thank you for the great music that others will most definitely come to enjoy.
Rest in peace gentlemen.
RIP to them all ✨💐
this band deserves so much more hype. the music is ridiculously amazing and they seem like good guys too
❤
I know their still playing amazing music in the afterlife.
Heaven now has Her’s music.
Rest In Peace.
Rip Stephen and Audun. I'm shocked, sad, and heartbroken that your lives got taken away. I only found about Her's not too long ago but after hearing your music, I fell in love. Your music made me happy & I'll never stop listening. I'll miss you guys forever. 😔
the friendship between these two is just so natural, they truly love each other for who they really are, such a sad sad SAD story, long live Her’s!!!!
RIP guys
You will be missed dearly❤️
My heart is broken....
RIP you beautiful boys!
I never met them and yet I miss them.
Only found out about them in 2021.
I hope they know how much they’re loved and that more people find them every day.
These boys were definitely on the cusp. I love the songs and am sad there won't be more. When they say they are going to come back to the States, I want to yell nooooooooooooo
It's like the scene in interstellar where he's screaming at himself not to go, but yet there's nothing he can do, what's happened has happened. Long live Her's
It feels like comfort when I'm watching their interviews.. it's like it never happened. Listening to their music hurts now, somehow. It's beautiful but daunting. I'll miss you guys way too much.
I know what you mean… I used to listen to their songs for comfort and to calm down and what happened to them devastated me so badly that every time I hear them play my heart breaks. It does physically hurt and it’s a strange sensation. Their music almost seems haunting now, in a way. Hauntingly beautiful. RIP ❤
Discovered these dudes over a chess game in a coffee shop.
Best game, ever.
Sad news brother.
Easily one of the best musical pairs of the last decade & this era of alt/indie rock.
I will forever love Her's & saddened that they are gone to early.
they were such soulmates
Oh man. I’ve loved these lads music for 4 years now and just now hearing they wanted to come to Japan. Man, that would have been amazing. RIP to Stephen and Audun
Anyone who loves them, please be my friend. 😭😭😭
s a d d e r d a z e I love them and ironically there's a local band where I'm from called saturdaze
Oh wow really?? My name is actually from a song by The Nbhd
s a d d e r d a z e the neighborhood sweater weather? Just checked em out. Thanks lol. You have good taste in music. I'm really into the surf punk/goth darkwave revival stuff right now but I love all types of music. You should share your ear with me
Jacob Salgado yess them! Plss if you have time listen to their new albums and old. They have some good music! And thanks sm. I’m into anything as well except for country tho but I’m open to learning new music.
Sorry for your lost today....xx
rest easy kings. your legacy lives on forever thru your beautiful music.
Rest In Peace guys. No idea how much I love you guys.
Rip
RETURN IF POSSIBLE 😭
They were too pure
they're so lovely! so happy to know this band exists
*tears**
Life is just a series of random events and you never know when it's time to go. R.i.P boys.
loved them for a while now, and then I just got the opportunity to see them and meet them at sxsw! They're great guys, so humbling and willing to talk to their fans, and even better live!
Beth Ortiz they passed away :(
Beth Ortiz thats sad Rip
@@egarbenr3374 Yes, finding out only a week after meeting them that they had passed away was so sad. Cried for days :( RIP to these beautiful souls
we all miss you beautiful souls
I only found out about these guys because of the tragic news. So sad. Their music is great man! They seemed like such cool guys. RIP
God damn, this makes me so sad. My sweethearts.
loving the sound, the vocals... beautiful work!
kiss from Brazil!!
her’s forever
A year has already passed without you both beautiful souls.. you both will always hold a special place in my ♡..
They would have made so much more amazing music. Taken by randomness. But these guys are still infectious - humour, talent, dedication and love. Still here through art. Not forgotten.
Ive never heard London called the BIG SMOKE before.
Two very smart talented lads.
So sad they passed 10 miles away from me. I will miss them bigtime.
So sad I have only heard of these two cool dudes as a result of the tragedy making the news. I am going to have a Hers binge here in the workshop today. I am an English guy in France and this certainly sounds like music that The French would love over here. Got that cafe-jazz vibe but way cooler than that! As a fellow musician I find this absolutely heartbreaking... You sound awesome. I am sitting here scratching my head trying to pigeon-hole your sound, and I can't which is the greatest compliment I could pay any group. RIP guys. 😎😎
nigelcarren What a tragedy! Very sad! Their manager died with them.
3 casualties of a drunk driver. Unreal!
I can’t figure out who they sound like either. It’s like jazzy dream pop. Who else sounds like them? Well, I guess it doesn’t matter now. RIP
Drink driver?@@dynjarren7523 I didn't know. Just makes it worse, because in my opinion that is not a true accident. I lose friends because I call them ****** ****** when they attempt to drink and drive. I am not the **** they are. I tell you, I have prevented a lot of accidents over the years. Anyway, thats not why we are here. So what do we learn from this?: 1) Do not let ANYONE drink and drive. 2) Life is cruel and can be short for sure, we must NEVER procrastinate and in the words of the great philosopher Shia le Boeuf, we must all 'JUST Do IT'... Follow our dreams just like these cool dudes were doing.... all before that last grain of sand runs out. 3) Whatever you say about these guys, they did make it out of the bedroom, but so so so sad they were taken just before the big-time, and the doubtless endless festival tours began. As a fellow musician, I am going to push even harder now. RIP these guys, bless them all.
Fortunate to get what we have from these two wonderful guys. ♥️♥️♥️
Breaks my heart to watch this 😥🌈 unimaginable that this tragedy has happened. Unimaginable and heartbreaking💔
Im gonna miss u both so much my heart still hurts💔
Poor lads it's only been a short while, cant believe it , life can be so cruel RIP guys

Rip Her's, Rest easy lads
These guys will forever live with me
They were on the cusp of further greatness. Rip ❤️
RIP TO TWO LEGENDS
So sad 😢 Rest in peace
Im just glad they left something to be remembered by.
they were destined for greatness
Watching this makes me so happy and so sad and the same time! Your music lives on mates!! I hope forever! ❤
rest in peace
7 years. I still miss them. I still mourn, I still tell people about them and look at their ghosts forever on the internet. It's so messed up.
Someone else feeling deep anger on march 2021 for the stupid way this two adorable guys died?
Im here in March 2023 still feeling it. Ugh.
yeah that drunk driving asshole man.
Just found out about these guys and saw that they already passed. You guys will be missed greatly rest in peace
❤
they’re my top artist for my spotify year-end thing :( i’ll love and miss them forever
Can't believe we lost these two legends..
Love and miss u guys wherever they are
Here after learning about their tragic ending… these two were robbed from their talent and fulfilling life to come ahead. So sad may they rest in peace
I hope one day that someone makes a faithful movie about these two to help keep their memory alive. It would be the saddest movie ever albeit but so amazing.
I love you, guys 💐
oml I love them so much
