I spoke to Heather Trost (Neutral Milk Hotel, Beirut, A Hawk and
A Hacksaw, etc) and she has an awesome debut full length record ready to drop in early June.
We talked about the key records of her formative years, international folk stylings informing her sound (1:46), projects that lead to Heather putting out her debut full length (4:12), creating a sonic portrait with her debut full length Agistri (5:30), how the spaghetti western inspired video for the track "Bloodmoon" came about (7:38)......
making the playful video for the title track Agistri (10:05), working with John Dieterich from Deerhoof as a player and producer (11:10), upcoming live dates with Thor and Friends in the summer as well as some fall dates beyond (12:57), having full creative autonomy by putting out her debut record through the label she owns (14:36)......
partially recording the third A Hawk and a Hacksaw album in a romanian village (16:54), the cathartic nature of putting out her first debut full length record (18:46), big outdoor festival gigs vs playing smaller intimate clubs (20:09), the 150 person music fest/ adult summer camp in the mountains known as Peppermill 2009 (21:38), the well dressed and wild concert goers of Gothenburg (23:21), and so much more!
