[Producer] Nick and I made Strange Disciple and half of A Way Forward together. You don’t want things to feel too stale.\n\n\"There’s this Moog synth called DFAM, Drummer From Another Mother, which became important for songs like 'In Another Life' and 'Inept Apollo.' The way that synth works lends itself to that 'pew pew pew' sound. It’s a percussion synthesizer, which is different than a drum machine. You’re making up these sounds and changing them as the beat is developing. That was very different for me, and sparked a lot of excitement and improvisation.\" \n\nhttps://www.stereogum.com/2322670/nation-of-language-on-how-idioteque-anne-carson-la-chimera-more-influenced-new-album-dance-called-memory/interviews/under-the-influence/\n--\nDon't miss this Live on KEXP performance hosted by DJ Cheryl Waters from August 2025: \nhttps://youtu.be/hkhieW", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "trackplay" }
