Brian Case discusses the new FACS album Wish Defense, when we met in Edmonton, St. Louis musical mentors, seeing Fred Armisen’s band Trenchmouth, loving underground Chicago rock music and key British post-punk bands, a shared adoration for Hoover, exploring duality via Naomi Klein, why FACS recorded Wish Defense with Steve Albini, his perspective on Steve’s demeanour and behaviour during what was sadly his final session, how they and Electrical Audio colleagues dealt with Steve’s sudden death by honouring and finishing the work he’d started, FACS tour dates, other future plans, and much more.

David Pajo returns to discuss Papa M‘s Ballads of Harry Houdini and provide insights about each song, reflecting upon the profound memorial gathering for Steve Albini that we attended this past July and also Steve’s talents and knowledge-sharing generosity, embracing improvisation and never touching a computer to make his new record, how playing in Tortoise still informs his work, unsettling songs and horror movies, reissuing Slint’s Tweez and releasing Aerial M’s Peel Sessions, making new music, touring with Gang of Four, other future plans, and much more.
