For the love of music
Hello Scott – This is a bittersweet occasion, since the band that you’ve been a part of for over 11 years, Sons And Daughters, broke up this past November. I had the pleasure of interviewing you back in 2007 when Sons And Daughters was running full steam ahead with the imminent release of the Bernard Butler-produced album This Gift. It’s been … [Read more...]
The nomadic Crime & The City Solution previously dissolved in the wake of 1990’s career pinnacle Paradise Discotheque and a sublime contribution to Wim Wenders’ Until The End Of The World film score in 1991. It's doubtful that even close followers expected a resurrection for the band that had been conceived in late-‘70s Sydney and … [Read more...]
Greetings, Rykarda! I’m not sure where in the world you are at the moment, but I hope all is well with you. It’s so good to be in touch with you again after first interviewing you in 2010 for this site. Your latest album, the masterful, arresting, and personal Against The Sun, has an April 15th release date for Europe and possible distro … [Read more...]
Hi Mike! I’m so psyched ‘n’ enthused to be interviewing you regarding your electronic rock project Dangerous Muse. It’s been a super-busy time for you since the release of Red this past November, the 1st of 3 EPs which will be compiled into your debut album. What’s the vibe like for you now? It's great to see how people are … [Read more...]
Hello Beauvais and Jonathan! I’m so elated to connect with you about your enthralling, enigmatic aural effusion, debut album Eora, which was released this past August on Time No Place. Beauvais and Jonathan, you’re both based in Australia, relatively near Sydney, and Liela, I’m assuming, is still located in England. How did the geographical … [Read more...]
Hello Jeff! Thanks so much for taking time out of your busy schedule, music-related and otherwise, to do this interview with me. You released your third album, A Season Lost, this past July on Cities of the Plain Records, and it’s compelling, yet subdued, with songs steeped in reflective rumination and a foreboding frisson. A Season Lost was … [Read more...]
Hello EDH! Your latest album, Yaviz, has been out since June on French boutique label Lentonia Records and distributed in the US by Nail. What have these past months been like for you since its release? It’s always scary to release a new album. I’m doing all the music alone, and suddenly I have to show what’s on my mind. You feel very … [Read more...]
Hello Pete! I’m absolutely delighted to have this opportunity to ask you a few questions about your spectacularly poptastic recent album Music and Words by Saint Etienne that has been out on Heavenly since May. It’s a concept album and the ultimate fan love letter to pop music, where you hit the highlights of the soundtrack of … [Read more...]
Hi Maria and Marte! It’s so wonderful to touch base with you both over your recent EP, Save Yourself, and to find out how your debut album is coming along. I love how your atmospheric, melodic synth-pop often radiates with a bittersweet vibe, where Maria’s gracefully achingly to sharply emphatic vocals are buoyed by Marte’s light, lithe … [Read more...]
Hi Johanna and Owen! Your freakin’ fantastic self-titled album has me bouncing around the room like a spastic kid with a sugar high, to put it mildly. How did you prepare for the October 16th release of TKTTSM on Sumxuni Records? Johanna: Yay! I've spent the last few years attempting to funnel my natural spaziness into our music. It's so … [Read more...]
