Ep. #1106: Shabason & Krgovich

Nicholas Krgovich and Joseph Shabason are here to discuss the wonderful new Shabason & Krgovich record, Four Days in June, scary but also somehow fortuitous car trouble, their working and social history, how Dan Bejar and John Collins from Destroyer connected them, everyone loving Nick’s record On Sunset, writing observational lyrics about other people’s lives and how it’s harder to make friends in your forties, the nice people like Kyle whom I’ve met while walking my dog Indiana Bones, exhibiting gratitude for the life you live, the remarkable band and other collaborators who contributed to this album, being a mostly inside/occasional outside person, what’s next for this collaboration, other future plans, and much more.

Ep. #1105: Hamilton Leithauser

Hamilton Leithauser returns to discuss growing up in D.C. and being influenced by bands on Dischord Records, working as recording engineer Don Zientara’s assistant at his Inner Ear studio while Fugazi was recording Red Medicine, recalling how Roy Orbison helped him find his singing voice, getting into home recording, having restraint and foresight as a one-man studio band, pondering the tenth anniversary of I Had a Dream That You Were Mine while avoiding nostalgic pats on the back, digging into songs like “The Bride’s Dad” and This Side of the Islands “What Do I Think,” embracing midlife, how voices like Bob Dylan’s seem imbued with American history, getting into soundtrack and film scoring work, opening for the Strokes, other future plans, and much more.

Ep. #1104: SUNN O)))

Greg Anderson and Stephen O’Malley from SUNN O))) are here to discuss their new self-titled album, American artists moving to Porto in Portugal, why they relate to author Robert Macfarlane’s vivid liner notes and his essay about being overwhelmed by a standing wave, reflecting upon our experiences at a memorial gathering for Steve Albini and what we learned about him, how this album’s producer Brad Wood kept things organized when songs might contain upwards of 130 guitar tracks each, ambient recording, a treehouse editing suite, and placing microphones in the woods outside of the Bear Creek Studio, why it was significant for SUNN O))) to connect their music to the environment, the significance of making their first record for Sub Pop self-titled and without any other collaborators, distinguishing between nostalgia and celebrating history, their recent visit with Ian MacKaye at Dischord House and its impressive archival systems, their digital live series, upcoming tour dates, other future plans, and much more.
