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.

Bill Frisell is here to discuss his new sextet record, In My Dreams, the different American and European cities he has lived in over the years and how they might inform his musical practice, his 75^th birthday and the March 2026 tour dates that mark the occasion, a dream about music and its possibilities that he had 30 years ago and is still processing, the lessons mistakes teach us, how film noir scores and the work of Alfred Hitchcock film composer Bernard Hermann may have found their way to In My Dreams, the time he saw Bob Dylan and the Hawks in 1966 and why Dylan might be into Bill’s latest record, what inspired him to put together the In My Dreams sextet, future plans, and much more.
