When We Met dropped by the PRP studio – on Sounds of PDX – to talk new tunes, revisiting music after a bit of a hiatus and all things dreamy, gritty indie music. And YES cats 🐈 slipped into the convo (with a reason, we promise!)

“Past Lives” is the local duo’s latest album release (mixed and co-produced with Larry Crane at Jackpot! Recording Studio). Not long before that 9 song collection hit the streets, When We Met transformed New Order’s iconic synth dance track “Bizarre Love Triangle” into a hypnotic dream pop experience like only Melissa and Bryan could do – you gotta take a listen to that here!

During our drop-in session, we heard a live stripped down version of “Skinwalker Ranch” (and all the backstory that brought it to life). Check out that stand-up bass ⬅️

When We Met had an in-store performance and signing at Music Millennium not long after our interview and raffled off a Fender acoustic guitar to benefit House of Dreams – if you missed the raffle, you can still support kitty dreams by checking out their website.  MEOW!

Couldn’t catch WWM at Music Millennium? Follow them on social media (Instagram) and make a point of catching them live sooner vs later.  But if you need a little fix now, listen to our drop-in session ⬇️ – it’s always wonderful to reminisce and re-connect with ALL of our local musicians but especially these two 🫂
