Stephen Malkmus talks about his great new album, Pavement's upcoming reunion, why he supports Bernie Sanders, and more
What were the circumstances that led you to make a folk record?
Yeah, lyrics, that can happen. I don’t know about riffs. Certainly, in honest appraisal of my career, it’s not all good. I just write through it and listen back, and it’s like, “That could have been better.” For better or worse, I just plow through it. If you’re asking specifically, I can remember albums likeby Pavement, I was really struggling with stuff to say.
Yeah, it was fun. If people who are fans of Pavement might like to know what it was like from the singer’s perspective…If it was fun for y’all, that’s great, but for me it was not only fun to embody those songs, it was also fun from the material perspective. We traveled really nicely. It was this smooth thing compared to what I remember Pavement being like, I guess. [Back then], we existed on a shoe-string budget, and it was wearying. It felt like there was seemingly no end in Pavement.
] yet…I think it’s funny him and Roger McGuinn are communicating together via Twitter, having a relationship on that media platform. That cracks me up.Yeah, his voice sounds good still. He is on his second liver. He sounded great when he played at that show. I think in the end he wouldn’t like my music, because it is floppy and out of tune a little bit. I think he is a bit boomerish that way. Obviously.Warren Ellis from Nick Cave’s band. I love him. I think he is really talented.
