For musician and writer Andrew W.K, partying is a way to overcome dread and terror to find peace and pleasure. This message, alongside his very good music, has seen him emerge as an unlikely motivational and self-help figure; standing in stark contrast to the crystal-gripping types who usually hold those titles.


Despite being the poster boy for having a good time, his experience with mental health has been more complex than you’d assume. Feeling overwhelmed by his own smallness and “realising the impermanence of everything is so overwhelmingly bleak,” he didn’t succumb to nihilism. But rather embraced the little control we do have—to be happy, to be loved, to get loose.

She wasn’t alone in these feelings. In the latest episode of the Anxiety Hour, she explains how her parents’ own experiences of race, identity, and history in Australia have created a sense of hereditary disconnection that binds them together. And how she uses her music to populate this post-colonial space to reconnect with her own past.
