Ep. #925: Steve Albini (2007)

Post author By vish
Post date November 20, 2024

At my invitation, Steve Albini appeared on Kreative Kontrol at least once a year since its inception in 2013. We started a tradition where we spoke just ahead of annual, poverty alleviation Letters to Santa live events, such as the gala they’re holding on November 23, 2024, at the Brookfield Zoo Chicago: Discovery Center, featuring Jeff Tweedy, Fred Armisen, and Kim Deal among others. To maintain the tradition and spirit of the talks we had, I plan to feature archival interviews I conducted with Steve over the years, presenting them here ahead of Letters to Santa events for as long as possible. Here’s the second radio interview we ever did. It took place in the early summer of 2007 and was ostensibly about the then new Shellac album, Excellent Italian Greyhound, and touched upon local radio fame, Martina Navratilova, people who film concerts instead of participating in them, Canada, SCTV, John Peel, and more.

Oliver Ackermann from A Place to Bury Strangers is back to discuss their uniquely packaged new album Synthesizer, the latest audio inventions in production at Death by Audio, why the Synthesizer album cover includes a circuit board that anyone can use to create their own synthesizer, the pros and cons of the Biden Administration’s CHIPS Act for a small batch electronics manufacturer, the new album’s abrasive sound and lyrical themes exploring interpersonal dynamics, alienation, and relentlessness, how we connect art to the artists who create it, tour dates, other future plans, and much more.
