Show Notes

You may know bassist, songwriter, journalist, animator, etc. Nick Friesen from his role in [Futurekids](http://witchpolice.podiant.co/e/3534bd1f0c4824L/) or from his [Jaded & Elated](http://jadedandelated.bandcamp.com/) radio show, but his latest project is something altogether different. Nick is the creator and driving force behind [Olivia Sea](http://oliviasea.net/) – a fictional, animated indie-pop artist with a new EP (think Prozaak or Gorillaz) out now, and a lot more content on the way! We talk about the character, who has been a constant in his creative life since the Futurekids days and beyond, as well as how, exactly, one puts together a record by a fictional artist with a fictional band.
