Anna Schwab (aka sadie) is a New York City-based songwriter & producer with a brand new EP out titled ‘Tides’ that’s co-produced by Joe Valle from Wet. The project is a follow up to last year’s critically acclaimed ‘Nowhere’ which received praise from The New York Times, Fader, Stereogum, and more. The lead single, “All Night”, is one of my favorite hyper-pop songs of the year with it’s infectious autotuned hook, bright synths, and bouncy bass, and the EP’s title track “Tides” dropped with a dreamy music video directed by Nancy Kote. Lucky for us, sadie is here to tell us what she’s been into.

Polar Plunges
Two years ago my best friends and I started a monthly swimming club ––the only rules are it has to be a naturally occurring body of water (so no hot tubs) and u have to fully submerge yourself (get ur head wet). it is the best thing ever. the cold water is invigorating and shocks you into life. ice baths are used to treat depression and anxiety. i can understand why
🦫
Species
a podcast. if you know me you know that i love animals. they are my other life’s passion. if i wasn’t trying to be a pop star i’d be a marine biologist, or i’d go volunteer at a sloth sanctuary in costa rica or something like that. probably will someday anyway. This podcast is the best. The host Macken Murphy picks a species of animal and spends a whole episode talking about them and why they’re cool. The beaver episode is my favorite. Beavers are my favorite animal. I could write an essay about why they are the best animal but it’s probably easier for you to just listen to the show.
🍄
Reishi Mushrooms
I take a specific supplement with reishi mushrooms called ImmuCore by Metagenics. I swear by them. If I feel the tickle of a cold coming I take 2 and I do. not. get. sick. They are a magic pill. I have been exposed to covid, the flu, the common cold, and these little mfkers have saved me.

Zyllion Shiatsu Back and Neck Massager Kneading Massage Pillow with Heat for Shoulders
the best gift i ever gave myself. every single night you will find me sitting on that thing. legs butt back feet. and then i sleep like a new born babe.
🍟
Voodoo Chips
my kryptonite. I will go through a bag in about 30 seconds. i feel like it’s an exercise for your brain because of the intensity of the flavor: sweet, tangy, salty, umami. One time I ate 2 bags in one sitting and my tongue was sore for about 48 hours because of the acidity.
