Middle Kids' songs to believe in

DOUBLE J
About this episode

Ever since I first heard them, Middle Kids have been a favourite. 

Exceptional songwriting, brilliant playing, and Hannah Joy’s beautiful voice. 

They’ve now got three albums under their belt, the latest of which is called Faith Crisis Pt 1. I’ve wanted to invite Middle Kids in to Take 5 for a while, and when Hannah said yes, and sent her songs back, I knew we’d be in for a treat. Strap in for a beautiful wander across some incredible songs, and a heartfelt chat about finding faith again.

  • Radiohead - 'Let Down'
  • Enya - 'Caribbean Blue'
  • IDLES - 'The Wheel'
  • Simon & Garfunkel - 'Bridge Over Troubled Water'
  • Kendrick Lamar - 'Money Trees [Ft. Jay Rock]'
