Elena Setién and Black Duck’s Bill MacKay and Douglas McCombs are here to discuss their self-titled debut album, their history as collaborators, Douglas’ recent travels with Tortoise, BASIC, and Yr Knives, the role improvisation and composition plays in their respective and collaborative work, the significance of musical intuition and listening, why Elena was keen to learn more about Native American and Indigenous history and how her lyrics may reflect that knowledge, thoughts about their next record together, which I may or may not be executive producing, upcoming shows, other future plans, and much more.
