In this episode of the New Wave Music Podcast, we sit down with Doug MacMillan of The Connells and Jon Dawson of Third of Never to discuss their brand-new release, Damage the Pearl: Original Soundtrack. The album takes a bold, cinematic approach—blending New Wave textures, alternative energy, and psychedelic flourishes into a project that feels as much like a film score as a traditional record.

Doug and Jon share the story of how the band came together, the evolution of their sound, and how the concept of an “original soundtrack” developed into one of their most ambitious works yet. They also discuss working with special guests, including a memorable collaboration with Steve Kilbey of The Church, and reflect on the creative risks that shaped the album’s unique atmosphere.
