Rostam Rises With The Quiet Conversations Of 'Changephobia'

Inspired by a quiet conversation the artist had with a stranger on a park bench, Rostam emerges with a new record, Changephobia. Aside from being a former member of Vampire Weekend, he is also known for composing and producing for artists like HAIM, Santigold and Clairo.

In this episode, we talk to Rostam about the fear of change — scientifically, it's known as metathesiophobia — and how he created an album that explores jazz sounds while retaining his pop sensibilities.
