00:00If you were a girl's character, which one would you consider yourself to be?

00:03Oh my god, who would I be?

00:05God, they're all so wonderful and fucked.

00:09We are here with...

00:11Suki, Suki Waterhouse.

00:12Can you shuffle your playlist for us?

00:14I would love to, I'm a little nervous, but I will do it.

00:17Okay, why is it not working?

00:19You press play.

00:20Oh, sorry, play.

00:22Oh, it's Dochi.

00:26Dochi, Denial is a River.

00:28Tell me about your relationship with that song.

00:30So obviously everyone knows Dochi, and I've been watching her, looking at her,

00:33admiring her, but I hadn't actually gone in and listened to the music.

00:36And I did it in New York, and I was walking around the streets,

00:40and I just had a couple of hours to be by myself and really savour Dochi.

00:45And then I just started texting everybody being like,

00:48Dochi, Dochi, Dochi, Dochi, Dochi.

00:50Have you heard every single Dochi song?

00:51How amazing is Dochi?

00:53These songs are incredible.

00:54And walking into my sessions and just being like,

00:56well, maybe I want to be Dochi.

00:58I could never be Dochi.

00:59I won't ever succeed at even making a Dochi song.

01:02I always end up then just writing something probably quite sad.

01:05But just the song structure, everything about her,

01:08like, I was just like, popping my booty for the first time in a while.

01:13Amazing album.

01:14This is fun.

01:15I'm very excited to talk to everyone about everyone on my shuffle.

01:22Waxahachie and MJ Lendman.

01:24Brad Cook, my producer, he introduced me to MJ Lendman, I feel like a while ago.

01:30I mean, Waxahachie is probably one of my favourite bands.

01:33She's just unbelievable.

01:35And I also follow her on Substax, everything that's going on her mind and where she is.

01:39And so I feel like I've never met her, but I feel this kind of like,

01:42I feel like we're connected.

01:43Katie's like, literally one of my top writing heroes.

01:55Oh, my God, such a good song.

01:58I've recently found my old YouTube account and I was kind of interested in what I was

02:03into when I was like 14, 15.

02:05And I kind of went through all my liked videos and I found this video,

02:10Tops, and this song, which I honestly wouldn't have remembered that I was so into.

02:15So I went on Instagram and I put myself in touch with them.

02:20And I was like, hey, would you want to come to one of my shows?

02:24And can we sing?

02:25Can we sing anything on stage?

02:27So we did in Toronto and it was incredible.

02:34What song do you think people should be putting on their playlists?

02:37OK, personally, I think you should be putting

02:40Nobody Loves You More by Kim Deal on your playlist.

02:43And then Self Plug, I think maybe you should try and listen to Dreamwomen's.

02:53I was actually working on it a while ago and I couldn't quite figure it out.

02:57And I have this thing where I'll just like forget about the song.

03:00And then Lena Dunham contacted me and she has a show that she's making.

03:04And she said, do you have a song that I could have for the show?

03:07It's not out yet, but it's really, really good.

03:10That I could have for the show.

03:11It's not out yet, but it's really funny.

03:13So when I'm excited, oh, my God, it's great.

03:15You also released a really whimsical sort of love letter to New York as a music video.

03:22I think what I wanted to kind of like encapsulate

03:26was like a moment, probably like in my early 20s,

03:30where I would spend quite a lot of time there and kind of be like quite lonely there.

03:34And I would go out onto the streets with my like video camcorders

03:39and just go and like film people on the subway or like film myself.

03:43It was like me trying to like feel something or like understand myself

03:47and feeling very like disconnected from myself

03:49and like trying to like understand myself in the surroundings.

03:53It was freezing.

03:55And I said, let's just put on a pair of hot pants and be so cold.

03:58And I also filmed it on the subway, which I know is like really annoying for people.

04:03And these children were like bullying me the whole time.

04:07Because I didn't have a boy.

04:08Yeah. Oh, my God.

04:09They were so scary.

04:12You filmed a lot of that at the flower shop.

04:14I did.

04:14Dylan came through for me.

04:16I literally texted him last minute and he gave me he gave me all the codes.

04:19I just went in there on a Sunday night.

04:20Do you have any like specific memories at the flower shop?

04:22Too many that probably are fun for public consumption.

04:25But I was glad that I didn't break the pool table.

04:28So it's been about six months since Sparkle Muffin did come out.

04:30Do you still feel like you associate with that creature?

04:32Or do you think maybe you're a different kind of creature these days?

04:34I think I'm still very much in a Sparkle Muffin and in a Sparkle Muffin moment.

04:38A Sparkle Muffin is this like crazy,

04:41multicolored spider that like eats its mate and does this crazy

04:44dance. And if the mate doesn't like the dance, then it will eat it.

04:48But I was very drawn to this insect.

04:51And I think it's to be honest, it's more the word Sparkle Muffin.

04:55It's really random.

04:56So now you're playing a three night residency here at the Roxy in L.A.

04:59So I have this kind of like little affinity with the Roxy.

05:02And to come back now, like eight years later with like two records and an EP,

05:07and it feels kind of like a whole different lifetime ago that I got to got to play it here.

05:32And I think it's to be honest, it's more the word Sparkle Muffin.

05:35And I think it's to be honest, it's more the word Sparkle Muffin.
