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.
