Ep. #1150: Yr Knives

Quin Kirchner, Douglas McCombs, Brian J Sulpizio, and Andrew Trim from Yr Knives are here to discuss Begin Yr Singing, some of their individual pursuits and other collaborators, the lengths I might go to to surprise and impress Doug, how they became friends and familiar with each other in Chicago, a memorable performance tackling ZZ Top songs, recording with Nick Broste and setting up in a linear fashion in the studio, almost as if they were playing a show, the touring they’ve done with the Messthetics and James Brandon Lewis and an open letter to keep such tours happening, the song “White Gladys,” orcas, and yachts, writing new songs, other future plans, and much more.

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.
