Future Islands and Vic Mensa both performed at this year’s Pitchfork Music Festival. The Talkhouse Music podcast got Future Islands frontman Sam Herring and Vic to sit down together backstage for a chat. (Previously, they hosted Haim and Chvrches singer Lauren Mayberry). You can listen to it above.

Herring and Vic chatted for a half hour, and broached a variety of topics: their mutual love of stealing from convenience stores, the free stuff they get as they get more famous (Vic: “What is it about having more stuff, then you get more stuff that’s free?”), how albums leak, Herring’s dance moves, and much more.

At one point, they have an extended discussion about the ethics of taking corporate money. “My perspective was always like, I’d never do the corporate shit,” Vic said. “I felt like its whack, it’s industry shit, and then I come to where I am now, and the majority of money that I get to keep myself afloat with and do shit with is from corporations.”
