Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

SPECIAL: Interview and Influence with Birth (Defects)
Q: Do you find these lyrics resonate more for you now, less, the same?
It works sometimes and other times it doesn't. That's probably another reason why we think it's good that we're limiting the shows.
SPECIAL: Interview and Influence with Birth (Defects)
Q: How do you manage to recreate that unique sound during live performances?
It's about creating a new instrument out of the guitar by playing with the speaker at the same time.
SPECIAL: Interview and Influence with Birth (Defects)
Q: What was it for you other than the obvious things that made you guys want to work with Steve Albini?
It was a combination of things including his technical sound and the analog method he adheres to, which aligns with our desire for an authentic recording.
