Why are we creators? Why do we care enough to keep on shooting for the stars? These are some the questions that the Swedish-American pop duo 7000apart bring to the table with their new album ''Why Do We Do What We Do?'' releasing tomorrow.

Recorded last week, 7000apart (consisting of Amelie Eiding from Stockholm and Jon Kresin from Green Bay, Wisconsin) give us an exclusive overview on the album process, exploring new sounds.

We also talk about the times when things were tough and the choice they had between following their dreams or giving up was a reality.

We also mention email etiquette, sexist head ache medications from the 50s and booking US tours as independent artists. All that and more in today’s Art is Alive.
