WEBVTT - Ep 29: Angel Olsen 0:00:00.360 --> 0:00:21.360 Loud and Quiet Presents midnight Chats. 0:00:23.600 --> 0:00:29.960 Just wait for that car to go past. Hey, there 0:00:30.040 --> 0:00:33.520 it goes. Hey, everybody, Welcome to the Loud and Quiet 0:00:33.560 --> 0:00:36.880 Interview Podcast. The reason you could hear a car going 0:00:36.960 --> 0:00:42.120 past my flat then is because, for once, the window 0:00:42.200 --> 0:00:44.919 is open, and the window is open because it's been 0:00:45.040 --> 0:00:51.320 twenty seven degrees hot here. That's not a sentence, but 0:00:52.240 --> 0:00:56.400 it's been warm and so warm. In fact, I'm wearing 0:00:56.520 --> 0:01:02.400 shorts and I think my neighbors will appreciate it. To 0:01:02.400 --> 0:01:06.440 give you an idea of the skin tone that I 0:01:06.480 --> 0:01:12.520 work with on a yearly basis, it is below white. 0:01:12.920 --> 0:01:20.440 It's paler than white and like a kind of frozen chicken. 0:01:21.040 --> 0:01:26.600 That's my vibe. And hey, it doesn't work for everyone, 0:01:27.280 --> 0:01:31.200 but I feel like I feel like it works for me. 0:01:31.760 --> 0:01:33.760 So let me tell you about who we've got on 0:01:33.760 --> 0:01:35.280 the podcast this week. We've got a bit of a 0:01:35.319 --> 0:01:38.720 special one because this one was recorded whilst we were 0:01:38.760 --> 0:01:42.840 somewhere even hotter than London is right now. We went 0:01:42.880 --> 0:01:47.280 to Primavera Sound Where, which is in Barcelona. It's a 0:01:47.319 --> 0:01:52.040 great festival and you should everyone should go. Everyone should 0:01:52.040 --> 0:01:56.720 go every year. It has an incredible lineup and consistently so, 0:01:57.640 --> 0:01:59.280 and we're very lucky. 0:01:59.000 --> 0:01:59.960 At Laden, quite weird. 0:02:00.040 --> 0:02:02.640 We're a partner of theirs and we work with them, 0:02:02.760 --> 0:02:04.480 have done for the past five years or so, so 0:02:04.560 --> 0:02:07.240 we go out each year and this year at the festival, 0:02:07.280 --> 0:02:09.640 I met up with Angel Olsen, who was playing on 0:02:09.639 --> 0:02:13.480 the final day on a Saturday, and she'd just arrived 0:02:13.480 --> 0:02:17.919 from Switzerland. She'd been driving overnight when we recorded this conversation, 0:02:18.560 --> 0:02:22.400 and we met in a hotel lobby of a hotel 0:02:22.440 --> 0:02:24.720 called the Princess, which is where all the bands stay 0:02:25.880 --> 0:02:26.720 inside a tip. 0:02:26.760 --> 0:02:27.000 Here. 0:02:27.280 --> 0:02:30.560 It's no security at the door of the Princess, so 0:02:30.720 --> 0:02:33.520 if you are a fan of bands and you go 0:02:33.560 --> 0:02:36.160 to Primavera, you can have a little look in there 0:02:36.360 --> 0:02:41.160 and you can maybe see someone as famous as Stuart 0:02:41.160 --> 0:02:44.480 Braithwaite from Monquai having a coke. 0:02:45.400 --> 0:02:46.120 You're welcome. 0:02:47.840 --> 0:02:51.040 Well, we met in this lobby and for that reason, 0:02:51.080 --> 0:02:53.520 there is quite a bit of background noise on this 0:02:53.600 --> 0:02:56.320 episode of the podcast, for which I apologize. It was 0:02:56.360 --> 0:02:58.480 hard to find a quiet corner to have a chat 0:02:58.480 --> 0:03:02.799 with Angel, but we had a fun chat. There are 0:03:02.840 --> 0:03:06.400 some laughs to be had and we were talking about, 0:03:06.520 --> 0:03:10.960 amongst other things, Angel's hobby of roller skating. She's very 0:03:10.960 --> 0:03:15.000 good at roller skating, and also some of her friends 0:03:15.000 --> 0:03:18.480 who were playing the festival. One of the great things 0:03:18.600 --> 0:03:22.080 about Primavera for the bands at least is that a 0:03:22.120 --> 0:03:24.880 lot of their mates tend to play at the same time. 0:03:25.720 --> 0:03:30.080 For Angel, that includes people like Mac DeMarco, Kevin Malby, 0:03:30.639 --> 0:03:34.839 Alex Cameron, and Whitney, all of whom gets shamelessly name 0:03:34.920 --> 0:03:39.880 dropped within our conversation. They are a group of musicians 0:03:39.920 --> 0:03:45.920 who share very similar sense of humors, if not musical styles. 0:03:46.440 --> 0:03:48.480 And that's probably all you need to know about this 0:03:48.600 --> 0:03:51.680 week's podcast. If you missed last week's with Toddler t 0:03:51.880 --> 0:03:54.640 that Greg did, I highly recommend listening back to that 0:03:54.760 --> 0:03:59.240 one in particular. It's a great episode and Toddler t 0:04:00.080 --> 0:04:03.480 It's just a really interesting guy and knows a hell 0:04:03.520 --> 0:04:06.320 of a lot about music, So please do check that out. 0:04:06.560 --> 0:04:10.040 For now, at least, here is my conversation with Angel Olsen. 0:04:31.160 --> 0:04:33.159 Last night was the first night that I actually I 0:04:33.279 --> 0:04:35.240 was pretty sober for the show, so I was like, 0:04:35.640 --> 0:04:40.960 this is a sober festival show. And then I had 0:04:41.040 --> 0:04:43.120 a little bit of wine on the bus and then 0:04:43.320 --> 0:04:45.680 went to sleep and I woke up at like nine today, 0:04:45.720 --> 0:04:46.400 so I feel great. 0:04:46.640 --> 0:04:48.600 Would tonight be a sober show? 0:04:49.279 --> 0:04:51.480 I don't know, it depends. I just wanted to take 0:04:51.480 --> 0:04:53.760 a break. We've been on the road for a long time. 0:04:53.839 --> 0:04:56.120 I might run, might do some exercises. 0:04:56.600 --> 0:04:58.520 Do you have a do you try and have a 0:04:58.640 --> 0:04:59.719 keep fit regime? 0:04:59.800 --> 0:05:02.520 On the not? Really? It's weird, you know, you drink 0:05:02.920 --> 0:05:06.479 at least. Our group is split between people who don't 0:05:06.560 --> 0:05:08.760 drink at all and people who drink every night. And 0:05:09.200 --> 0:05:11.640 some people stay up in their night owls, and I 0:05:12.080 --> 0:05:15.360 tend to stay up. But for whatever reason, I even 0:05:15.400 --> 0:05:17.119 if I stay up till four or something, I always 0:05:17.160 --> 0:05:20.240 wake up early, and at least on this tour, and 0:05:20.480 --> 0:05:24.880 I just the eating habits are very strange because you're 0:05:24.920 --> 0:05:28.080 just waiting to get to a venue. So I eat 0:05:28.120 --> 0:05:31.000 like half an avocado for breakfast, you know, and just 0:05:31.000 --> 0:05:34.720 like wait it out. And then yeah, I don't know. 0:05:34.880 --> 0:05:36.560 I think I eat less on tour because I'm just 0:05:37.000 --> 0:05:40.120 I'm like, it's like nervous energy, but I'm not nervous. 0:05:40.160 --> 0:05:44.520 It's just I'm doing a lot, so I get locked 0:05:44.560 --> 0:05:50.599 into work and I'm not as gluttonous. But everyone in 0:05:50.640 --> 0:05:54.719 the group kind of wants to exercise at some point. 0:05:54.880 --> 0:05:56.560 So it's kind of cool to have a partner in 0:05:56.600 --> 0:05:57.599 crime when you need to do that. 0:05:57.760 --> 0:05:58.560 Okay, that's good. 0:05:59.000 --> 0:06:01.680 So we're in the Prince hates is this way because 0:06:01.720 --> 0:06:03.599 you've played Primula before you? 0:06:03.880 --> 0:06:06.440 I played I played an indoor show and it was 0:06:06.720 --> 0:06:09.360 maybe maybe it was at the theater. 0:06:10.040 --> 0:06:12.200 A few years ago, just across the street there. 0:06:12.200 --> 0:06:17.200 Maybe so. And it was with Grouper and one on Molina. 0:06:17.600 --> 0:06:19.560 Oh but you've not played headlined, but it was. 0:06:19.960 --> 0:06:23.320 It was like an after show to the festival. Sure, 0:06:23.480 --> 0:06:24.800 but inside so it was cool. 0:06:25.000 --> 0:06:27.640 Okay, I think I know what you mean. I think 0:06:27.640 --> 0:06:30.520 that might have been in town. Yeah maybe so, like 0:06:30.600 --> 0:06:33.560 the Sunday after the first yeah yeah, okay, and when 0:06:33.600 --> 0:06:34.200 you stayed that time? 0:06:34.240 --> 0:06:35.520 Did you stay here in this hotel? 0:06:37.080 --> 0:06:38.520 I don't remember if I did or not. 0:06:38.720 --> 0:06:41.760 I think this is the from my understanding, this is 0:06:41.800 --> 0:06:44.080 the hotel that means you've made it if they put 0:06:44.120 --> 0:06:44.640 you in this one. 0:06:44.640 --> 0:06:46.600 Okay, this is the Princess. 0:06:46.240 --> 0:06:49.080 One, Princess Hotel, This is the Princesses. 0:06:49.240 --> 0:06:52.440 This is the where princeship base. 0:06:52.680 --> 0:06:54.440 Yeah, you have to be at a certain level to 0:06:54.440 --> 0:06:57.200 get to this one. And well, so you've made it. 0:06:57.240 --> 0:07:00.440 Congratulat lying to me. That makes me feel good. I appreciate. 0:07:00.560 --> 0:07:02.279 No, I think that is. I think that's the case. 0:07:02.640 --> 0:07:04.200 And the other thing I get the impression about pro 0:07:04.279 --> 0:07:06.560 and I've heard this from other bands that I've spoken 0:07:06.600 --> 0:07:10.280 to about it is that they kind of look after 0:07:10.280 --> 0:07:12.360 their artists. We were talking about we were just talking 0:07:12.360 --> 0:07:14.120 about that. What was the festival you've just played last night? 0:07:14.600 --> 0:07:17.840 Bond bed Bond. Yeah, that's that's your hot tip. It 0:07:17.840 --> 0:07:20.119 looks amazing from those photos you just showed. 0:07:20.360 --> 0:07:22.600 I mean, I could write a book about the perfect 0:07:22.640 --> 0:07:26.600 festival versus the imperfect festival, but I won't. I'll just 0:07:26.640 --> 0:07:29.680 say some people have it together. And I think sometimes 0:07:30.040 --> 0:07:32.600 it has to do with how small it is, and 0:07:32.680 --> 0:07:35.880 other times it has to do with how long the 0:07:35.960 --> 0:07:41.040 festival's been going on, you know, But it's it's a 0:07:42.200 --> 0:07:45.160 it's always a surprise each time for me. 0:07:45.880 --> 0:07:49.000 What are the big don't when putting on a festival? 0:07:49.560 --> 0:07:50.920 From your point of view. 0:07:50.680 --> 0:07:56.000 Oh, don't feed us the you know, they give the 0:07:56.080 --> 0:07:59.800 people that come to the festival all the all the 0:07:59.840 --> 0:08:03.920 trailers of food. That's interesting. It's like, ah, here's a 0:08:04.000 --> 0:08:06.480 nice trailer, let's put it out here, and then they 0:08:06.520 --> 0:08:07.760 feed the artists like. 0:08:08.000 --> 0:08:10.520 Fish and beans is fish and beans? 0:08:10.600 --> 0:08:13.040 No, but you know like or like it's like deep 0:08:13.080 --> 0:08:16.720 fried falaffel thing with just like that's kind of like 0:08:17.360 --> 0:08:21.120 vaguely cold, like it's kind of cold, and then like 0:08:21.160 --> 0:08:24.160 something else and they're like, why are they feeding us 0:08:24.200 --> 0:08:29.760 like cattle when we're the ones performing? This is backwards. 0:08:29.920 --> 0:08:31.400 Food is number one number one. 0:08:31.680 --> 0:08:35.200 Got to gotta get like healthy, healthy stuff, you know, 0:08:35.320 --> 0:08:37.480 stuff that anybody can eat, you know, for me, that's 0:08:37.520 --> 0:08:42.000 Mediterranean food. Just have make some make some salads, get 0:08:42.040 --> 0:08:44.120 them to bully in there for the for the artists, 0:08:44.160 --> 0:08:45.319 you know, keep them regular. 0:08:45.559 --> 0:08:50.320 What's the what's the worst thing you've a at a festival? 0:08:51.160 --> 0:08:55.920 Ah? I think probably a really bad falafel, like a 0:08:55.960 --> 0:08:59.640 falafful sandwich at a German festival, which it was like, 0:08:59.720 --> 0:09:02.560 this is isn't a falafel, This is something else and 0:09:02.640 --> 0:09:04.040 I don't know what this is, but it's not. 0:09:04.040 --> 0:09:06.439 A falafel, this unidentified food. 0:09:07.000 --> 0:09:08.080 It's gray food. 0:09:08.320 --> 0:09:08.720 Okay. 0:09:10.000 --> 0:09:12.120 In a strange way, as a non artist, this makes 0:09:12.160 --> 0:09:15.480 me feel a little better because I always thought that no, 0:09:15.760 --> 0:09:18.440 you'd be eating like well sometimes kings and queens. 0:09:18.720 --> 0:09:20.480 I don't know what it'll be like at Primavera, but 0:09:21.040 --> 0:09:23.360 bad one was great. They do take care of RRA. 0:09:23.559 --> 0:09:25.400 Okay, the food out front here is good. 0:09:25.559 --> 0:09:27.280 Yeah, yeah, it feels good so far. 0:09:27.400 --> 0:09:29.440 So maybe if you're if you're getting if you get 0:09:29.440 --> 0:09:31.560 some gray food, just you should nip out the front. 0:09:31.840 --> 0:09:32.720 They have a good thing. 0:09:33.240 --> 0:09:36.040 It's not like the ultimate priority, but it's definitely a 0:09:36.080 --> 0:09:39.160 symbol for how things will go that day. It's like, well, 0:09:39.840 --> 0:09:44.000 if the food for us is for cattle, then what 0:09:44.120 --> 0:09:45.480 else for us is for cattle? 0:09:46.520 --> 0:09:48.560 Are we going to get the sound of a cattle? 0:09:48.840 --> 0:09:51.480 Yeah? Are we going to get the attitude of someone 0:09:51.520 --> 0:09:54.280 who hates being an engineer and hates being here and 0:09:54.400 --> 0:09:56.440 isn't paid well and just agreed to do this but 0:09:56.640 --> 0:09:59.160 is totally regretting it. Are we going to get that today? 0:09:59.400 --> 0:10:01.880 Or we're going to get but the nicest guy who 0:10:01.920 --> 0:10:07.280 somehow still loves putting on thirty shows in three days 0:10:07.360 --> 0:10:10.319 and has no problem with it. It's it's really full 0:10:10.400 --> 0:10:12.400 spectrum every single time you go to a festival. 0:10:12.440 --> 0:10:14.920 I've got a good feeling about tonight. I think it's 0:10:14.920 --> 0:10:16.559 going to be I'm going to be positive for you 0:10:16.720 --> 0:10:18.400 that it's going to be a good experience. You're on 0:10:18.440 --> 0:10:19.559 at the ray band stage. 0:10:19.679 --> 0:10:22.360 Yeah, I hope they'll give me some glasses because it's 0:10:22.559 --> 0:10:23.439 kind of sunny. 0:10:23.120 --> 0:10:25.040 Out there, and that's got to be part of the deal, 0:10:25.120 --> 0:10:27.439 isn't it, Like if you're playing in the ray band stage, 0:10:27.440 --> 0:10:31.120 you must get free ray band Well I'm going to try, surely. 0:10:31.600 --> 0:10:31.800 Yeah. 0:10:31.840 --> 0:10:33.720 I think it's the best stage on the site. Have 0:10:33.800 --> 0:10:34.400 you seen that one? 0:10:34.520 --> 0:10:36.800 That's I just arrived, but I haven't been over. There 0:10:36.800 --> 0:10:39.600 are bus parked on the opposite side, so we'll see. 0:10:39.800 --> 0:10:41.840 Okay, it's like an amphitheater. 0:10:42.800 --> 0:10:43.960 I heard steps. 0:10:44.720 --> 0:10:46.720 Have you seen who you're up against tonight? 0:10:46.760 --> 0:10:48.240 I don't know who I'm up against. I don't like 0:10:48.280 --> 0:10:51.800 to view it that way. But George is playing right 0:10:51.840 --> 0:10:55.680 after us, a tribute to Bowie, and I'm like psyched 0:10:55.720 --> 0:10:57.600 that he's going to be on the stage right next 0:10:57.640 --> 0:10:59.160 to us. So that's cool. 0:10:59.520 --> 0:11:02.480 So I I have looked into who's next, who you're 0:11:02.559 --> 0:11:04.360 up against? Would you rather me not say? 0:11:05.720 --> 0:11:09.360 I mean, why are you trying to make me feel competitive? Well? 0:11:09.400 --> 0:11:11.600 I was going to ask you, do you generally when 0:11:11.640 --> 0:11:14.000 you come to a festival, do you look into that 0:11:14.160 --> 0:11:15.600 or do you just think I. 0:11:15.520 --> 0:11:17.560 Never look at the schedules. I don't. I had to 0:11:17.600 --> 0:11:19.840 look and see what day it was today. I didn't know. 0:11:20.960 --> 0:11:22.000 That's the life of a touring. 0:11:22.200 --> 0:11:25.959 Yeah, you're just going. You're just going. Every day is 0:11:26.040 --> 0:11:29.000 the same but different. You just try to find the facts. 0:11:29.360 --> 0:11:31.679 Where can I use the restroom? Where can I shower? 0:11:32.440 --> 0:11:37.040 Where can I get free food? What's the Wi Fi? Oh? 0:11:37.360 --> 0:11:40.680 The free food is gross? Where can I get better food? Okay? 0:11:41.559 --> 0:11:43.160 What time do we need to be at the stage? 0:11:43.440 --> 0:11:46.560 Is the sound engineering nice? Oh he's not nice? Oh 0:11:46.640 --> 0:11:49.280 he is? When do we need to do this? And 0:11:49.320 --> 0:11:51.000 then you just you have it all out? But you 0:11:51.080 --> 0:11:52.520 do it day by day. Why would I want to 0:11:52.559 --> 0:11:55.040 know that ahead of time? I want to know ahead. 0:11:56.600 --> 0:11:59.199 So after your set tonight, what will be what will 0:11:59.280 --> 0:12:01.880 be your plan? Are you're not that aware of who 0:12:01.880 --> 0:12:03.360 else is playing tonight after you either? 0:12:04.840 --> 0:12:08.079 You know? I know that I missed Kevin Morby and Macmarca, 0:12:08.160 --> 0:12:10.880 which is unfortunate, and that Alex Cameron is going to 0:12:10.880 --> 0:12:14.760 be playing at what is it called. 0:12:15.600 --> 0:12:18.720 He's playing in the auditorium across there. 0:12:18.880 --> 0:12:20.520 Yeah, so I want to see him, but I don't 0:12:20.520 --> 0:12:22.840 know if I can because he's so far away from 0:12:22.920 --> 0:12:26.120 where I'm going to be playing like overlapping with him, 0:12:26.559 --> 0:12:30.080 but his mother's in town and I love her. She's 0:12:30.160 --> 0:12:31.400 very different than him. 0:12:31.840 --> 0:12:33.200 Are you good friends with Alex? 0:12:33.280 --> 0:12:34.520 I love him, he's the best. 0:12:34.679 --> 0:12:35.760 And Roy Malloy. 0:12:35.920 --> 0:12:37.360 Roy malloy is number one. 0:12:37.559 --> 0:12:41.240 Yeah, that good guys. I'm kind of it's a little 0:12:41.280 --> 0:12:42.240 bit of a shame that they're. 0:12:42.040 --> 0:12:43.880 In the inside auditory so too. 0:12:44.160 --> 0:12:46.040 I feel like I should be on an outside stage. 0:12:46.120 --> 0:12:48.520 Yeah. Oh they could just maybe when they're finished, I'll 0:12:48.559 --> 0:12:51.880 have them finish off my set if I feel like, 0:12:52.160 --> 0:12:54.120 you know, I don't know if they'd let me do that, 0:12:54.280 --> 0:12:58.000 but yeah, I think. I think they're really brilliant and 0:12:58.440 --> 0:13:00.800 I'm glad that we're playing this day at least, and 0:13:00.840 --> 0:13:03.120 that they're playing this festival because they totally deserve it. 0:13:03.400 --> 0:13:06.320 Yeah, so you might meet up with them afterwards. 0:13:05.800 --> 0:13:07.880 Definitely, Yeah, because we're off tomorrow. I don't know what 0:13:07.920 --> 0:13:08.959 they're doing tomorrow, but. 0:13:09.120 --> 0:13:11.600 Yeah, yeah. That does seem to be the good thing 0:13:11.640 --> 0:13:14.800 about Freemaber is there are so many bands that kind 0:13:14.800 --> 0:13:17.079 of seem to be but buddies and they all kind 0:13:17.080 --> 0:13:19.640 of hang out. So last night at mac Show, the 0:13:19.640 --> 0:13:24.160 guys from Whitney came out and we're playing some very 0:13:24.200 --> 0:13:25.600 out of time bongos with them. 0:13:26.360 --> 0:13:28.079 Cool, but they looked good. 0:13:28.400 --> 0:13:29.040 They looked good. 0:13:29.080 --> 0:13:31.080 Yeah, they always look good. They look they look like 0:13:31.120 --> 0:13:32.520 straight out of a Levi's jeans. 0:13:33.200 --> 0:13:33.440 Yeah. 0:13:35.040 --> 0:13:36.679 Yeah, sickening. 0:13:36.960 --> 0:13:38.199 It's absolutely sickening. 0:13:38.400 --> 0:13:40.559 I think, you know. I didn't want to give this away, 0:13:40.600 --> 0:13:43.920 but me, Kevin Morby and al Kam were talking about 0:13:43.920 --> 0:13:46.960 remaking one of their videos. Yeah, so we might do 0:13:47.040 --> 0:13:49.160 that later. That's what we were going to do in Barcelona, 0:13:49.200 --> 0:13:51.280 but then I found out we're all playing at different times, 0:13:51.320 --> 0:13:52.520 so it's kind of a bummer. 0:13:52.840 --> 0:13:56.280 So Kevin played on first day and he at this 0:13:56.360 --> 0:13:58.480 point at the festival seen as we're on the last day, 0:13:58.520 --> 0:14:00.320 he is the best dressed man at the festival as 0:14:00.320 --> 0:14:04.160 so far. He was wearing a white suit with musical 0:14:04.200 --> 0:14:08.319 black musical notes, Oh nice dotted around it. 0:14:08.320 --> 0:14:09.640 It's very Elton John of him. 0:14:09.920 --> 0:14:12.679 It was it was, yeah, it was really look at you. 0:14:13.000 --> 0:14:16.000 I heard that he jumped off of a pier after 0:14:16.040 --> 0:14:19.920 his set. Is that true? Oh? He's and a security 0:14:19.920 --> 0:14:21.000 guard ran after him. 0:14:21.240 --> 0:14:24.040 I really yeah. I mean he may have done that. 0:14:24.280 --> 0:14:26.680 I like him, but maybe he was feeling he just 0:14:26.680 --> 0:14:27.480 got a wild hair. 0:14:27.680 --> 0:14:30.240 He might have done that once he got off the stage, 0:14:31.000 --> 0:14:32.360 but he must have. He would have had to run 0:14:32.440 --> 0:14:35.360 round the Back's so cool, he finished on a cover 0:14:35.480 --> 0:14:36.920 of Sweet Jane. 0:14:37.320 --> 0:14:40.680 Oh yeah, and it was good. Yeah you said you 0:14:40.680 --> 0:14:42.480 said that, like it was good. 0:14:42.600 --> 0:14:45.480 It was good because it was disappointing. But I hate 0:14:45.480 --> 0:14:47.160 seeing these guys who were good at things. 0:14:47.960 --> 0:14:49.400 It makes me feel indicate me too. 0:14:49.400 --> 0:14:51.400 It's like when I see a really beautiful woman, I'm like, 0:14:51.880 --> 0:14:54.720 I hate myself. I hate myself, but not in a 0:14:54.960 --> 0:14:58.440 like I actually hate myself or that I'm jealous. It's 0:14:58.480 --> 0:15:01.480 more like there's it's just too much. 0:15:01.680 --> 0:15:04.080 It's just unfair it is, and it's. 0:15:03.880 --> 0:15:05.520 Too much, and I can't hate you. 0:15:06.200 --> 0:15:08.320 That's what it's like with those Whitney boys. That's how 0:15:08.400 --> 0:15:10.120 I feel looking at them, Like you. 0:15:10.080 --> 0:15:13.280 Could just be wearing a trash bag, you know, and 0:15:13.320 --> 0:15:14.000 you'd still look. 0:15:14.840 --> 0:15:18.680 I hate people like that. Maybe I'm sure they're lovely. 0:15:19.000 --> 0:15:21.920 This is worse when they're nice. I have a friend 0:15:22.000 --> 0:15:22.880 like that who. 0:15:22.960 --> 0:15:24.920 Because you really just want to be critical and then 0:15:24.920 --> 0:15:27.440 you're like, oh man, but she was like creally nice. 0:15:27.800 --> 0:15:28.000 Yeah. 0:15:28.040 --> 0:15:30.120 It's kind of fine if they look incredible, but they're 0:15:30.160 --> 0:15:33.200 like an awful person. Because that's your that's what you 0:15:33.280 --> 0:15:36.200 hang on to. You think, well, at least I'm nicer 0:15:36.240 --> 0:15:43.200 than them. So Kevin's Kevin's been the best dressed and 0:15:43.280 --> 0:15:45.880 Mac DeMarco's drummer didn't wear anything. 0:15:46.320 --> 0:15:48.920 Oh well, not surprised by that. 0:15:49.880 --> 0:15:52.520 I think you must have snuck out on a towel 0:15:53.120 --> 0:15:55.160 in a with a towel wrap around him, because there 0:15:55.200 --> 0:15:56.920 was a towel on his drum stool. But there was 0:15:56.960 --> 0:16:00.600 a great reveal maybe like it was in the first 0:16:00.600 --> 0:16:03.320 song where the camera panned around the back of his 0:16:03.440 --> 0:16:06.360 kit to reveal that he was completely naked. 0:16:06.400 --> 0:16:07.080 He had a hat on. 0:16:07.760 --> 0:16:09.160 Yeah, I mean, well, as long as he had a 0:16:09.200 --> 0:16:10.160 hat on, he had something. 0:16:10.400 --> 0:16:11.160 He's not a monster. 0:16:11.560 --> 0:16:13.480 They knew what they were doing there, They. 0:16:13.440 --> 0:16:14.520 Very much knew what they would do. 0:16:14.760 --> 0:16:16.920 Yeah, they were trying to own it there. 0:16:17.320 --> 0:16:17.520 Yeah. 0:16:17.640 --> 0:16:21.800 So I mean, I'm sure Alex Cameron will probably and 0:16:21.960 --> 0:16:25.800 Roy will look great. You've kind of do you feel 0:16:25.800 --> 0:16:28.200 the pressure now that you I mean, what are you 0:16:28.560 --> 0:16:29.880 what are you going to be wearing? 0:16:30.440 --> 0:16:33.040 Well, I don't know, you need to Maybe I'll wear 0:16:33.040 --> 0:16:38.480 a swimsuit, I don't know, and then I'll jump off the. 0:16:38.440 --> 0:16:41.160 Stage like yeah, you need to you need to do 0:16:41.200 --> 0:16:43.040 something outrageous. 0:16:42.320 --> 0:16:44.920 Now, you know. That's the thing though, when you play 0:16:44.960 --> 0:16:46.920 these big festivals, people want you to have on the 0:16:47.480 --> 0:16:49.840 light show and they wanted to be theatrical, and they 0:16:49.840 --> 0:16:53.440 want you to be like loud with lights and like adventures. 0:16:53.480 --> 0:16:55.960 But to me, it's really always been about the music. 0:16:56.280 --> 0:16:58.640 And if I'm not moving around very much on stage, 0:16:58.680 --> 0:17:02.840 it's because I'm trying to trying to give one hundred 0:17:02.880 --> 0:17:06.080 percent of my voice, you know. But it's curious to 0:17:06.119 --> 0:17:09.200 see these other bands, and I don't know. I think 0:17:09.240 --> 0:17:11.120 my group is more like a soul group. Like they're 0:17:11.200 --> 0:17:15.439 very like they keep it together. It's very smooth. But 0:17:15.480 --> 0:17:17.679 there are moments when I can put down my guitar 0:17:17.760 --> 0:17:20.160 and I can run around, and those are the freeing moments. 0:17:20.200 --> 0:17:22.560 And maybe we'll play one of those songs today, but 0:17:23.280 --> 0:17:26.600 it's very I like to do that every now and then, 0:17:26.680 --> 0:17:28.720 just because I'm just like, come on, I gotta move 0:17:28.760 --> 0:17:30.919 around now. I can't just stand here and hold this 0:17:31.000 --> 0:17:33.160 down all the time, you know. And I play rhythm guitar, 0:17:33.280 --> 0:17:35.840 so it's like two things at once. I'm not just singing, 0:17:36.680 --> 0:17:39.800 but I would like to dance around more. I think 0:17:39.840 --> 0:17:40.440 that would be cool. 0:17:40.520 --> 0:17:42.440 Are there any tracks where you put the guitar down. 0:17:42.680 --> 0:17:46.840 Yeah, there's one called the Waiting, which is from Halfway Home, 0:17:46.880 --> 0:17:49.720 which was the first full length record, and we've been 0:17:49.800 --> 0:17:52.720 playing that one live. And then there's another one called 0:17:52.800 --> 0:17:54.879 Total Control. It's a cover that we've been doing by 0:17:54.880 --> 0:17:59.240 the Motels right. Yeah, do you know the Motelles. I 0:17:59.280 --> 0:18:01.280 didn't know them either until I was in Australia and 0:18:01.280 --> 0:18:03.920 then this guy Jack Ladder, who's opening up for us 0:18:04.280 --> 0:18:09.480 Tim Rogers. He was like, Angel, come to my room, 0:18:09.720 --> 0:18:12.080 let me play you something whatever. He has this like 0:18:12.119 --> 0:18:15.960 really thick Australian accent and he's like giant, you know. 0:18:17.400 --> 0:18:21.080 And he also very well dressed. Also very well dressed 0:18:21.080 --> 0:18:26.160 those all season and what's up. But he was playing 0:18:26.200 --> 0:18:27.800 this track for me, and I was like, how do 0:18:27.880 --> 0:18:30.240 I not hear this? How have I not heard this before? 0:18:31.119 --> 0:18:33.240 It sounds like it would would have come out of 0:18:33.240 --> 0:18:36.600 the same phase as like Blondie, pre pop Blondie or 0:18:36.680 --> 0:18:41.600 pre like disco Blondie, you know. And yeah, so I 0:18:41.680 --> 0:18:43.200 checked it out and then I got obsessed with the 0:18:43.280 --> 0:18:45.200 song and we decided to play it and we played 0:18:45.200 --> 0:18:48.720 in La at this I don't know what the name 0:18:48.760 --> 0:18:50.720 of the venue was but we played this place. We 0:18:50.760 --> 0:18:53.560 were doing sound check and someone from the front of 0:18:53.600 --> 0:18:56.040 house started videoing it and I had never met him, 0:18:56.080 --> 0:18:57.800 and I was like, do you know the song? And 0:18:57.840 --> 0:19:01.240 he said I was in the band actually, wow. Yeah. 0:19:01.520 --> 0:19:04.760 So he sent the live recording of us to Martha 0:19:04.840 --> 0:19:09.320 Davis and was like, these people are recovering it. Yeah, 0:19:09.359 --> 0:19:10.680 but I don't know. It was cool. 0:19:11.040 --> 0:19:12.159 So what kind of track is it? 0:19:12.200 --> 0:19:13.680 Is it? Is it the kind of song that you 0:19:13.680 --> 0:19:16.800 you could dance around to? Is it fast enough for that? 0:19:16.960 --> 0:19:21.000 It's not fast. It's more like it's a sexy song. 0:19:21.040 --> 0:19:23.360 It's kind of it's rap sexy, okay. 0:19:23.600 --> 0:19:27.480 But in a subdued kind of way, in an attitude 0:19:27.560 --> 0:19:30.160 kind of way, right, Yeah. And I get to play 0:19:30.240 --> 0:19:33.600 keys on it, like trumpet, midi keys, and and that's 0:19:33.640 --> 0:19:36.240 always my favorite part at the very end, to walk 0:19:36.280 --> 0:19:40.600 around stage and then suddenly just rock out for for 0:19:40.640 --> 0:19:42.960 however long I want to. And sometimes we on the 0:19:43.000 --> 0:19:45.280 set with that one and it's like eight minutes long 0:19:45.520 --> 0:19:47.520 and people can leave during it, you. 0:19:47.480 --> 0:19:50.919
