<p style="text-align: justify;">Their brand new sophomore album is as nostalgia-inducing as it is utterly enthralling: Phoneboy are taking the grunge pop from our youth, transforming the zippy guitars and screaming vocals of the era, and creating track after danceable track on <strong>Moving Out</strong>, independently released March 24. Ruminating on their adolescent years, growing up and moving out, the three piece of singers and guitarists Ricky Dana and Wyn Barnum and bassist James Fusco have channeled all of their coming-of-age anxiety into dynamic, vivid, “twenty-something” anthems.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">Atwood Magazine caught up with the trio shortly before the release of Moving Out to discuss their pop punk roots, the importance of band chemistry, and the plights of being a “twenty-something.”<span id="ezoic-pub-ad-placeholder-151" class="ezoic-adpicker-ad"/></p>

<p><span class="sub-title">Atwood Magazine: <strong>How did Phoneboy come to be? </strong></span><span class="ezoic-autoinsert-video ezoic-mid_content"/></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Ricky Dana: </strong>So, about a week in college, we both went to Stevens in Hoboken, me and Wyn. Wyn saw me walking down the street with my guitar, he’s like, “Hey, you play guitar? I said, “Yeah, I play guitar.” And we started talking about music and talked about jamming. Then it’s a whole semester for us to actually get together and start hanging out and playing some music. And I realized that Wyn was significantly better than me at playing guitar.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Wyn Barnum:</strong> Ah don’t make me blush! And then James and I, we’ve known each other since we were like eleven years old. We played in bands together. And</p>
<p><span id="ezoic-pub-ad-placeholder-173" class="ezoic-adpicker-ad"/><span class="ezoic-ad ezoic-at-0 large-leaderboard-2 large-leaderboard-2173 adtester-container adtester-container-173" data-ez-name="atwoodmagazine_com-large-leaderboard-2"><span id="div-gpt-ad-atwoodmagazine_com-large-leaderboard-2-0" ezaw="336" ezah="280" style="position:relative;z-index:0;display:inline-block;padding:0;width:100%;max-width:1200px;margin-left:auto !important;margin-right:auto !important;min-height:280px;min-width:336px;" class="ezoic-ad"/></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>James Fusco:</strong> We grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area, in California. And it just so happened that I went to school close enough to these two, to make the band happen.</p>
<p><span class="ezoic-autoinsert-video ezoic-long_content"/></p>
<p><h2 class="title"><span/></h2>
<p><span class="sub-title"><strong>Was there a particular moment that snapped for you guys that the three of you are Phoneboy? </strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Dana: </strong>I think it was the moment that James rapped Nicki Minaj’s verse in “Monster” that’s when I knew, personally.<span id="ezoic-pub-ad-placeholder-152" class="ezoic-adpicker-ad"/></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Fusco: </strong>Along with Jordan, longtime keyboardist, Jordan Torres. Iit was the first time we met each other and the first time I had met Ricky. And we were having a party and the song came on. And I wasn’t really aware that Jordan and I shared that sort of ability, but we locked eyes. And it just happened. I think Ricky was like, “Oh, wow, he passed the vibe check.”</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Dana: </strong>And then within that month or something, we had to name the band. Because before Phoneboy we were called Wyn and Ricky which was horrible. That was pretty bad, it’s a dog shit name. So our buddy Luis was like why don’t you call it Phoneboy, because we’d been using that word for a while. Wyn made it up because I would zone out and look at my phone all the time and completely dismiss conversation. And one day Wyn was like, “Get off your phone, you phone boy.” And everyone was like, “Yeah, you phone boy!” And that’s how it happened.</p>

<p><span id="ezoic-pub-ad-placeholder-164" class="ezoic-adpicker-ad"/><span class="ezoic-ad ezoic-at-0 leader-1 leader-1164 adtester-container adtester-container-164" data-ez-name="atwoodmagazine_com-leader-1"><span id="div-gpt-ad-atwoodmagazine_com-leader-1-0" ezaw="336" ezah="280" style="position:relative;z-index:0;display:inline-block;padding:0;width:100%;max-width:1200px;margin-left:auto !important;margin-right:auto !important;min-height:280px;min-width:336px;" class="ezoic-ad"/></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Barnum: </strong>It’s definitely happened a few times.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Dana: </strong>Let’s just put it like this, if it comes on we’ll skip to the Nicki Minaj verse and we won’t turn it off.</p>
<p><h2 class="title"><span/></h2>
<p><span class="sub-title"><strong>What was the soundtrack to your touring? </strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Barnum: </strong>James was the soundtrack?<span id="ezoic-pub-ad-placeholder-182" class="ezoic-adpicker-ad"/><span class="ezoic-ad ezoic-at-0 large-mobile-banner-1 large-mobile-banner-1182 adtester-container adtester-container-182" data-ez-name="atwoodmagazine_com-large-mobile-banner-1"><span id="div-gpt-ad-atwoodmagazine_com-large-mobile-banner-1-0" ezaw="300" ezah="250" style="position:relative;z-index:0;display:inline-block;padding:0;min-height:250px;min-width:300px;" class="ezoic-ad"/></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Dana: </strong>James was our primary driver. So he was primarily aux.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Fusco:</strong> Especially in the daytime. I mean, it started off pretty normal with a lot of indie rock and pop punk. By the time we had reached the Southwest, and from then on out, it was country music. Whether that was like the current top 40, which I became quite well versed in, or some of the stuff in the 70s through the 90s, some of the more classic stuff. It was on the stereo at all hours.<span id="ezoic-pub-ad-placeholder-154" class="ezoic-adpicker-ad"/></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Dana: </strong>All the way back to the 50s with like Marty Robbins</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Fusco: </strong>Yeah, totally<span id="ezoic-pub-ad-placeholder-183" class="ezoic-adpicker-ad"/><span class="ezoic-ad ezoic-at-0 large-mobile-banner-2 large-mobile-banner-2183 adtester-container adtester-container-183" data-ez-name="atwoodmagazine_com-large-mobile-banner-2"><span id="div-gpt-ad-atwoodmagazine_com-large-mobile-banner-2-0" ezaw="250" ezah="250" style="position:relative;z-index:0;display:inline-block;padding:0;width:100%;max-width:1200px;margin-left:auto !important;margin-right:auto !important;min-height:90px;min-width:728px;" class="ezoic-ad"/></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Dana: </strong>The song “Big Iron” by Marty Robbins. Is probably the song. I remember, we stayed right outside of the Grand Canyon in Williams, Arizona. It’s a town of like, 1200 people. And we’re getting there at like 2am, we’re driving in real slow, and that song comes on. And it matched the scenery perfectly. It was just like, “Where are we right now?”</p>

<p><h2 class="title"><span/></h2>
<p><span class="sub-title"><strong>A little bit of everything. Moving through everything from pop punk to country, did you guys take anything from that range of genres? </strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Dana: </strong>We don’t know yet</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Fusco: </strong>We write a lot of music inspired by pop punk. That’s usually what we would listen to. And I think we just really needed a change from that, we’d already exhausted all like our favorite bands catalogs. So it was time to switch things up.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Barnum: </strong>It fits the country better.<span id="ezoic-pub-ad-placeholder-155" class="ezoic-adpicker-ad"/></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Fusco: </strong>Yeah you know, you’re driving through corn fields or-</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Dana: </strong>Route 66.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Fusco: </strong>Or just the south and there’s a reason that that sort of music comes from there, it seems it’s just like it really made the trip. It broke up each section of this trip into a different sort of vibe. So it worked for us. But as far as taking anything from it that’s yet to be seen.<span id="ezoic-pub-ad-placeholder-186" class="ezoic-adpicker-ad"/><span class="ezoic-ad ezoic-at-0 leader-2 leader-2186 adtester-container adtester-container-186" data-ez-name="atwoodmagazine_com-leader-2"><span id="div-gpt-ad-atwoodmagazine_com-leader-2-0" ezaw="250" ezah="250" style="position:relative;z-index:0;display:inline-block;padding:0;width:100%;max-width:1200px;margin-left:auto !important;margin-right:auto !important;min-height:90px;min-width:728px;" class="ezoic-ad"/></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Dana: </strong>We’ll find out!</p>
<p><h2 class="title"><span/></h2>
<p><span class="sub-title"><strong>Speaking of touring, you guys just wrapped up opening for The Happy Fits. I got to see you guys in DC, it was stellar. What was the highlight of that experience?</strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Dana: </strong>Wyn and James got their first home town show in San Francisco.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Fusco: </strong>Yeah that was cool!<span id="ezoic-pub-ad-placeholder-156" class="ezoic-adpicker-ad"/><span class="ezoic-ad ezoic-at-0 leader-3 leader-3156 adtester-container adtester-container-156" data-ez-name="atwoodmagazine_com-leader-3"><span id="div-gpt-ad-atwoodmagazine_com-leader-3-0" ezaw="300" ezah="250" style="position:relative;z-index:0;display:inline-block;padding:0;min-height:250px;min-width:300px;" class="ezoic-ad"/></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Barnum: </strong>That was the first time I was back there in like two years. Webster Hall was also sick. A lot of heads there.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Fusco: </strong>The show in New York City.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Dana: </strong>That was absolutely insane. We saw the Grand Canyon! It was beautiful.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Fusco: </strong>I shed a tear.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Dana: </strong>Yeah, James shed a tear. I remember I was like, “Why are you crying James?” He was like, “It’s just so grand.”</p>
<p><h2 class="title"><span/></h2>
<p><span class="sub-title"><strong>How was that hometown show? Was it weird returning after two years?</strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Barnum: </strong>A little bit, yeah.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Fusco: </strong>It was a venue that was kind of brand new. It was not a place that I had been to see music before. So it felt like I was barely even in San Francisco. It was strange. But it was great to see my folks. Wyn’s parents are in the area too, so he stayed with them and the rest of the band shacked up at my place. And it was cool to sort of show them the sights, show them around the city.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Dana: </strong>James gave me, Jordan, our keyboard, and Chris, our drummer, a tour of a lot of cool spots in the Bay Area. We went to In-n-Out which was sweet. All the local spots. We went to the headlands, which is a little trail that leads you to the top and you can see the Golden Gate Bridge and everything from this mountain<span id="ezoic-pub-ad-placeholder-188" class="ezoic-adpicker-ad"/><span class="ezoic-ad ezoic-at-0 leader-4 leader-4188 adtester-container adtester-container-188" data-ez-name="atwoodmagazine_com-leader-4"><span id="div-gpt-ad-atwoodmagazine_com-leader-4-0" ezaw="250" ezah="250" style="position:relative;z-index:0;display:inline-block;padding:0;width:100%;max-width:1200px;margin-left:auto !important;margin-right:auto !important;min-height:90px;min-width:728px;" class="ezoic-ad"/></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Fusco: </strong>It’s beautiful.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Dana: </strong>It was awesome. That was definitely a highlight for sure.</p>

<p><h2 class="title"><span/></h2>
<p><span class="sub-title"><strong>That&#8217;s super fun. You guys had a really great stage presence, you were all just really in sync, it was exciting to watch. I was watching footage from when I went to see y’all and there’s this moment where you’re all head bangign at the exact same time. What is it about the live experience that brings that out of you all?</strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Fusco: </strong>I think the fans. It’s cool because The Happy Fits had done a bunch of shows in DC before so they sold out the venue. And it turned out a lot of their fans were our fans too. So it was great to have people being able to sing that stuff back to you, the lines you’d written. That was really cool. I would say just like feeding off the energy of the fans is the main thing that keeps us going on tour.<span id="ezoic-pub-ad-placeholder-189" class="ezoic-adpicker-ad"/><span class="ezoic-ad ezoic-at-0 mobile-leaderboard-1 mobile-leaderboard-1189 adtester-container adtester-container-189" data-ez-name="atwoodmagazine_com-mobile-leaderboard-1"><span id="div-gpt-ad-atwoodmagazine_com-mobile-leaderboard-1-0" ezaw="300" ezah="250" style="position:relative;z-index:0;display:inline-block;padding:0;min-height:250px;min-width:300px;" class="ezoic-ad"/></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Dana: </strong>And [in contrast], sometimes you sort of lose yourself in it when you’re on stage, which is a really cool feeling as well. I feel like there are moments of songs where we all either lose it or keep in sync, if that makes sense. Like we don’t we didn’t organize like “Alright guys, at this point we’re all going to head bang.” It is just what playing it makes us do.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">*Band nods in agreement*</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Dana: </strong>We were looking back at old videos or like other venues. And we’ve seen exactly what you’re talking about. Like I see that I’m like, “Oh my god, it’s crazy. We all did this at the same time. I didn’t even know you were doing that.” We’re lucky enough to have a very good band chemistry. Which is nice. I feel like we all flow very well together. And we all feel the same way about the music we’re playing which is nice.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Barnum: </strong>Although I do think someday we should add some choreography into it, some real boyband shit. I think it’d be sick.<span id="ezoic-pub-ad-placeholder-158" class="ezoic-adpicker-ad"/><span class="ezoic-ad ezoic-at-0 mobile-leaderboard-2 mobile-leaderboard-2158 adtester-container adtester-container-158" data-ez-name="atwoodmagazine_com-mobile-leaderboard-2"><span id="div-gpt-ad-atwoodmagazine_com-mobile-leaderboard-2-0" ezaw="250" ezah="250" style="position:relative;z-index:0;display:inline-block;padding:0;width:100%;max-width:1200px;margin-left:auto !important;margin-right:auto !important;min-height:90px;min-width:728px;" class="ezoic-ad"/></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Dana: </strong>Yeah, some *NSYNC shit!</p>
<p><h2 class="title"><span/></h2>
<p><span class="sub-title"><strong>Some matching outfits? </strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Barnum &#038; Dana: </strong>Yeah we used to do that.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Barnum: </strong>It was our first tour, like a seven or eight day run with The Happy Fits two years ago. We wore all white. White t-shirts and painter’s pants. It’s not really sustainable considering it’s all white.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Dana: </strong>Shit gets dirty.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Barnum: </strong>It gets really dirty really fast.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Dana: </strong>But thankfully it was only a week so it’s only we were still like cream color by the end of it.</p>
<p><h2 class="title"><span/></h2>
<p><span class="sub-title"><strong>If you were a boy band, would you still be Phoneboy?</strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Dana &#038; Fusco: </strong>I think it’d be Phoneboyz.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Dana: </strong>Phoneboys to men. We’ve discussed.</p>
<p><h2 class="title"><span/></h2>
<p><span class="sub-title"><strong>What choreography would you bring in? </strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Dana: </strong>I want one of us to learn to do backflips. Maybe me?</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Barnum: </strong>You’re saying you want to do a backflip?</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Dana: </strong>I wanna do a backflip!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Barnum: </strong>I’m really practicing my cartwheels. In the front we have a driveway up and cart-wheeling a lot.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Fusco: </strong>I’m actually really worried he keeps hitting his head, he hasn’t been the same recently. [everyone laughs]
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Barnum: </strong>It’s the left-y cartwheels that get me, I’m better at the right-y ones?</p>

<p><h2 class="title"><span/></h2>
<p><span class="sub-title"><strong>At your next live show I’ll be waiting for someone to do a backflip. I was watching a SXSW interview that you guys did a while back and you talked a lot about how you would jam in dorm rooms. How do you think that those same kids jamming in dorm rooms would react to what you guys are doing now?</strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Dana: </strong>A part of me wants to say that me four years ago would be absolutely shocked. But another part of me is like, when I met these two, I definitely felt like something was gonna happen. Like there was something in the air.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Dana: </strong>That’s the biggest thing for sure.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Fusco: </strong>We’d obviously still be doing it regardless of that, because it’s super fun. But it’s super exciting and surprising to meet people and see that we’ve made an impact on their lives. Or even just that they liked the music at all is super cool.</p>
<p><h2 class="title"><span/></h2>
<p><span class="sub-title"><strong>You guys now have your sophomore album coming out in like two weeks. Congratulations! It’s a stellar record and it clearly has a lot of different inspirations behind it. The seventh track, “Open Up,” has heavy pop punk influences versus “Moving Out,” which is a lot more surf rock. Where do you guys draw your major inspirations from?</strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Barnum: </strong>That’s awesome you say that. “Open Up” is like our favorite! We want to open on tour with it. But because it’s not a single, it’s going to be kind of tough. Because like the tour starts the same day that the album’s released, so like if we open with it, people aren’t gonna know it. Maybe later. But [inspirations wise] pop punk for sure. Blink-182 is huge. Sum 41.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Dana: </strong>Not pop punk, but The Strokes was a huge influence for us. Even early Arctic Monkeys.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Fusco: </strong>Yeah, dancier but still goes kinda hard. We try to make dancing music.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Dana: </strong>Stuff you can jump to.</p>

<p><h2 class="title"><span/></h2>
<p><span class="sub-title"><strong>I&#8217;d argue you definitely have. Phoneboy has a very early 2000s, All Time Low-esq energy to it. If you guys could collaborate with any like 2000s artist, is there one you’d gravitate toward?</strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Dana: </strong>Gotta be Blink-182, right?</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Barnum: </strong>Yeah, but I think that’s too easy to answer because they’re just like, kind of our idols <strong>Fusco:</strong> They definitely grew up more on Blink-182, I was more into Sum 41 as a kid. Or even just some sort of rap rock. I think it would be super funny to get like a rap verse on a Phoneboy track. Like a really hard one […] like a Limp Biscuit verse. Anyone that we grew up listening to. It’d be super crazy to get recognition from.</p>
<p><h2 class="title"><span/></h2>
<p><span class="sub-title"><strong>You guys also love a good visual element, whether that’s vibrant cover art or vivid music videos. What is the process of creating visuals for your music?</strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Dana: </strong>I think that music is more than just one dimension. I feel like a lot of people see stuff when they hear songs. With music videos and single covers and album covers, we really just try to capture what someone would want to see when they’re listening to the song. FOr example, we were trying to think of music video ideas for “Ferrari.” And we’re with our friends in the backyard and one of our buddies, Mike De Vita, he goes “I’m listening to Ferrari and it sounds to me like a robbery.” And  it does have to feel like a robbery for some reason, even though we don’t really say anything about stealing stuff in that song. But that’s something that we visualized and wanted to make into a music video.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Fusco: </strong> We also watched way too many movies, too. We are always watching movies, at least seven a week, honestly. It bleeds into how [we make] music, even soundtracks and stuff really influence how I think about our own music.</p>
<p><span class="embed-youtube" style="text-align:center; display: block;"><iframe loading="lazy" title="Phoneboy - Ferrari [OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO]" width="1220" height="686" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/ZgjrvhZq-nE?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen></iframe></span></p>
<p><h2 class="title"><span/></h2>
<p><span class="sub-title"><strong>Is there a certain film soundtrack you’d love a Phoneboy track to be featured in?</strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Dana: </strong>A Richard Linklater movie. But honestly it doesn’t matter to me what song if someone can see something from our songs that’s like enough. You know what I mean? Like, if someone can visualize something through our music, and be inspired by it that’s just so fucking cool.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Barnum: </strong>I would say “Boyhood.” That would be sick.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Fusco: </strong>A movie about some kid growing up would make sense.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Dana: </strong>A coming of age of some sort.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Barnum: </strong>I like house party movies for our music.</p>
<p><h2 class="title"><span/></h2>
<p><span class="sub-title"><strong>What does the collaborative process look like when you guys are writing?</strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Barnum: </strong>Usually, someone comes to the table with some sort of idea. Not usually like a full song. Maybe just a verse or a chorus or a chord progression, or a riff.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Dana: </strong>And from there, it’ll become communal.</p>
<p><h2 class="title"><span/></h2>
<p><span class="sub-title"><strong>Was there a moment during the creation of this album that stood out?</strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Barnum: </strong>When we recorded the demo for “Open Up” the bridge in it. I remember we were driving up to New York City and we would just like, just keep rewinding and playing that part because we were super proud of it.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Fusco: </strong>That’s crazy that you felt that was one of your favorite songs because when we wrote it that was like, “Oh, shoot, the album’s gonna come together finally.”</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Dana: </strong>For me, one of my favorite parts was recording a lot of the synthesizers for the songs. Like sometimes we would just turn the lights off just to fit the vibe and everything. It was cool, it was dreamy.</p>
<p><h2 class="title"><span/></h2>
<p><span class="sub-title"><strong>What is one track that you’re really excited to be out there?</strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Barnum: “</strong>Gone, Gone, Gone.”</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Fusco: </strong>I’m really excited to play “Need A Friend” live. We’re working out ways to make that one epic. And make everybody sort of really feel that warmth, even if they haven’t heard it before.</p>

<p><h2 class="title"><span/></h2>
<p><span class="sub-title"><strong>How do you guys think you have grown from the creation of your first album? </strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Dana: </strong>I feel like we’re a lot more structured.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Fusco: </strong>I think that the main thing that changed is that we wrote this as an album rather than-</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Dana: </strong>A mixtape.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Fusco:</strong> With the first project we wrote and released a lot of the songs over the course of a couple of years as singles. And then when we finally sat down and put it together to kind of sound like a cohesive album. And we thought it came out really well. But with this one we actually sat down over the course of six months, in the studio and recorded everything in the same chunk of time. So we think it’s much more of an exact time capsule. Rather than summing up years of our lives.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Barnum: </strong>It took like three years to get all those songs together. “Acid Girl” came out in 2018 and then the full album came out in 2021. So it took a while to get there. And this one felt a lot more focused. But when it comes to writing nothing’s changed too much.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Dana: </strong>If anything, I feel like we just play off of each other better.</p>
<p><h2 class="title"><span/></h2>
<p><span class="sub-title"><strong>If this album signifies an era of your guys&#8217; lives, how would you describe that time period to somebody?</strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Barnum: </strong>It’s moving out of Ricky’s parents house era.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Dana: </strong>Eh?</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Barnum: </strong>You don’t think so?</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Dana: </strong>Yes but I think it’s more the feeling you have when you want to move out. We didn’t move out until after the album was done.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Fusco: </strong>So pop punk guys. [laughs]
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Dana: </strong>It’s a pretty pop punk message.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Fusco: </strong>It’s also about anxiety about the future and the past. This was like a very anxious album quite honestly.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Dana: </strong>Yeah, definitely pretty anxiety riddled. Feeling like you’re gonna get trapped in a place and get trapped at home and not really be able to fulfill your ambitions.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Barnum: </strong>And then the anxieties that you really want to leave, but that’s also really scary. And not secure. Graduating college, ending senior year was super scary, because it felt like we were on our own more. Because in college you’re independent but-</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Fusco: </strong>You’re living in a dorm paid for you.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Dana: </strong>Everyone’s in the same boat and you’re surrounded by people who are in the same boat. But then you get out of college and you’re totally not.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Barnum: </strong>Then you can do anything you want. There’s no structure.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Fusco: </strong>I mean we were also in school for things not music related. So a lot of my peers are not doing music. They’re getting jobs that make money. They’re working towards bigger goals that are more reasonable. [everyone laughs]
</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Dana: </strong>Yeah like a 401k.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Fusco: </strong>So there was also that whole level of doing something totally on our own. I was a math major and Ricky was in finance, so we are not  doing what our friends are doing.</p>

<p><h2 class="title"><span/></h2>
<p><span class="sub-title"><strong>Was there a certain point during your guys&#8217; degrees that you knew that you were going to leave it for music?</strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Dana: </strong>Yeah, it was the moment that we made the band. Definitely.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Fusco: </strong>I think it was when we went on tour for the first time. I had a lot of friends in college that were in bands or playing some shows around the city or whatever. But the fact that we got to [tour] and people were looking for us. I was like “Oh, this is way better than math class.”</p>
<p><h2 class="title"><span/></h2>
<p><span class="sub-title"><strong>What’s coming up for Phoneboy?</strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Dana: </strong>The album’s coming out! And then we’re doing a tour. Both on March 24th. And then when we get back, we’re probably going to be doing a lot of writing and a lot of music video stuff. This summer we want to be as creative as possible while we have some time off. So make sure to get some tickets for our tour. It’s gonna be hella fun. And go listen to the new album “Moving Out.” We love you!</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p>
<p>Spring Summer is the recording project of San Francisco-based musician Jennifer Furches, who spent a large part of her career in the aughts making a name for herself by touring and playing with musicians like Cass McCombs, Coconut Records, and Ben Lee.  About a year ago, in 2021, she finally launched her own solo career and released a couple of delicate, folksy guitar songs on Dangerbird Records.  Now, Furches announces the arrival of her forthcoming debut album, TEARS, out July 15 and produced closely by friend Jenny lee Lindberg of Warpaint.</p>
<p>Below, NYLON exclusively premieres the video of the album&#8217;s lead single, “Mountaineer,” a sturdier and more robust version of the indie rock first previewed by the musician and multi-instrumentalist.  Over shuffling guitar and drums infused with a crisp and clean feeling, Furches works through overcoming life&#8217;s obstacles with a partner while maintaining self-preservation through writerly, graceful lyricism.  “I&#8217;m tough as nails/ I am a mountaineer/ I will climb these jagged peaks and leave the valleys for you dear,” she sings.  Any hint of tension in its lyrics is tempered by the song&#8217;s grand and sweeping sound, like you&#8217;re also perched on the mountain peak next to her.</p>
<p>Of the song, Furches writes in an email: “There&#8217;s a running theme on the album of losing yourself in another person, and this song is about the push-and-pull between the feeling of &#8216;I would do anything for you&#8217; and &#8216; I can&#8217;t do anything for you, I need to be strong and do things for me.&#8217;”</p>
<p>In its miniature-filled music video directed by Jon Sortland, she captures that feeling of towering above everything else quite literally, recreating a haunting but cozy world through dollhouse sets and beautifully illustrated natural landscapes.  Furches herself is seen interacting with the world through clever editing that makes it look like she&#8217;s inhabiting the sets, but is simultaneously caught setting them up in the first place — adding another meaningful layer to the song&#8217;s contemplation.</p>
<p>Watch “Mountaineer” below, and read on to learn a bit more about Furches.  And be sure to catch her record TEARS when it drops on July 15. </p>
</p>
<p><strong>What are you up to right now — describe your surroundings.</strong></p>
<p>I&#8217;m sitting in my practice space in our garage in San Francisco.  There&#8217;s nothing soundproof about it and I live on an echo-y alley, but luckily the neighbors don&#8217;t seem to mind that the kids and I have started a 90&#8217;s cover band.</p>
<p><strong>What&#8217;s the story behind your new song, &#8220;Mountaineer&#8221;?</strong></p>
<p>I wrote the first incarnation of Mountaineer before I had kids.  I was 4 years into a relationship, and kind of passing that puppy-love stage where you want to just do everything for someone and be with them all the time… and starting to feel like I had lost — or forgotten — about myself.  Then after kids, many more years into the same relationship, the same feelings were hitting me.  It&#8217;s so easy in life and love to give yourself away.  I had to make a very conscious effort to find some balance.</p>
<p>I had never done anything with that song, but it was suddenly resonating heavily with me again.  I played it for my cousin Jason and he had all these great suggestions to make it something new which appealed to me.  I loved the feeling of it having lived so long as one song, and then getting to transform it into another version of itself.  As I guess I wished to do.  (Thanks to Jen we recorded the old version, too — we&#8217;ll put that out one day!)</p>
<p><strong>How did you land on the idea of ​​using miniatures for your &#8220;Mountaineer&#8221; video;  they&#8217;re really having a moment right now.</strong></p>
<p>I feel like miniatures have been heavily utilized forever!  But I guess you mean maybe they&#8217;re being used in a more obvious way, as we did, rather than the old-school Hollywood trickery? </p>
<p>You know — I just loved Jon Sortland&#8217;s work so much!  He made all these great videos for his band The Shins (a few of which use miniatures) and he is just constantly making things that make me laugh and reel me in.

So the miniatures came from his experience with them… but in the end when COVID hit and we ultimately had to call on my husband Roman to shoot my part of the video, I thought it was kind of a fun twist of fate because Roman has shot a lot of second unit and special effects work through his career which often involves miniatures — so I felt like there was a nice connection there between the two of them.</p>
<p><strong>After spending a large part of your career playing with other artists, how does it feel to be releasing music of your own?</strong></p>
<p>Great!  For so many years I was scared to record my own music.  It was so much easier to be a sort of hired gun (and of course also get to play with musicians I admired).

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p>
<p>Spring Summer is the recording project of San Francisco-based musician Jennifer Furches, who spent a large part of her career in the aughts making a name for herself by touring and playing with musicians like Cass McCombs, Coconut Records, and Ben Lee.  About a year ago, in 2021, she finally launched her own solo career and released a couple of delicate, folksy guitar songs on Dangerbird Records.  Now, Furches announces the arrival of her forthcoming debut album, TEARS, out July 15 and produced closely by friend Jenny lee Lindberg of Warpaint.</p>
<p>Below, NYLON exclusively premieres the video of the album&#8217;s lead single, “Mountaineer,” a sturdier and more robust version of the indie rock first previewed by the musician and multi-instrumentalist.  Over shuffling guitar and drums infused with a crisp and clean feeling, Furches works through overcoming life&#8217;s obstacles with a partner while maintaining self-preservation through writerly, graceful lyricism.  “I&#8217;m tough as nails/ I am a mountaineer/ I will climb these jagged peaks and leave the valleys for you dear,” she sings.  Any hint of tension in its lyrics is tempered by the song&#8217;s grand and sweeping sound, like you&#8217;re also perched on the mountain peak next to her.</p>
<p>Of the song, Furches writes in an email: “There&#8217;s a running theme on the album of losing yourself in another person, and this song is about the push-and-pull between the feeling of &#8216;I would do anything for you&#8217; and &#8216; I can&#8217;t do anything for you, I need to be strong and do things for me.&#8217;”</p>
<p>In its miniature-filled music video directed by Jon Sortland, she captures that feeling of towering above everything else quite literally, recreating a haunting but cozy world through dollhouse sets and beautifully illustrated natural landscapes.  Furches herself is seen interacting with the world through clever editing that makes it look like she&#8217;s inhabiting the sets, but is simultaneously caught setting them up in the first place — adding another meaningful layer to the song&#8217;s contemplation.</p>
<p>Watch “Mountaineer” below, and read on to learn a bit more about Furches.  And be sure to catch her record TEARS when it drops on July 15. </p>
<p><strong>What are you up to right now — describe your surroundings.</strong></p>
<p>I&#8217;m sitting in my practice space in our garage in San Francisco.  There&#8217;s nothing soundproof about it and I live on an echo-y alley, but luckily the neighbors don&#8217;t seem to mind that the kids and I have started a 90&#8217;s cover band.</p>
<p><strong>What&#8217;s the story behind your new song, &#8220;Mountaineer”?</strong></p>
<p>I wrote the first incarnation of Mountaineer before I had kids.  I was 4 years into a relationship, and kind of passing that puppy-love stage where you want to just do everything for someone and be with them all the time&#8230; and starting to feel like I had lost — or forgotten — about myself.  Then after kids, many more years into the same relationship, the same feelings were hitting me.  It&#8217;s so easy in life and love to give yourself away.  I had to make a very conscious effort to find some balance.</p>
<p>I had never done anything with that song, but it was suddenly resonating heavily with me again.  I played it for my cousin Jason and he had all these great suggestions to make it something new which appealed to me.  I loved the feeling of it having lived so long as one song, and then getting to transform it into another version of itself.  As I guess I wished to do.  (Thanks to Jen we recorded the old version, too — we&#8217;ll put that out one day!)</p>
<p><strong>How did you land on the idea of ​​using miniatures for your &#8220;Mountaineer&#8221; video;  they&#8217;re really having a moment right now.</strong></p>
<p>I feel like miniatures have been heavily utilized forever!  But I guess you mean maybe they&#8217;re being used in a more obvious way, as we did, rather than the old-school Hollywood trickery? </p>
<p>You know — I just loved Jon Sortland&#8217;s work so much!  He made all these great videos for his band The Shins (a few of which use miniatures) and he is just constantly making things that make me laugh and reel me in. I feel like he finds a wonderful way of mixing the magical world and real life.

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p>
<p>Welcome to the latest edition of The Offramp! Each month, rock writer Corbin Reiff will highlight some of the most dynamic artists and projects going on in music today. Throw on the turn signal, crank up the stereo and enjoy the ride!</p>
<p>As 2019 ticked into 2020, Kurt Vile had had enough. The Philadelphia-based singer-songwriter spent the better part of the last decade on the road, playing packed shows with his band the Violators. He’s also been relentless in his pursuit of new music, working with a myriad of different collaborators, while hitting up various recording studios across the country to lay down his latest sonic imaginations.</p>
<p>The results speak for themselves. During that time, Vile has steadily amassed one of the most engrossing discographies in all of indie rock. His solo albums like Smoke Rings for My Halo, Wakin’ on a Pretty Daze, and B’lieve I’m Goin’ Down are widely considered to be classics of the genre. That’s in addition to his collaboration record with Courtney Barnett, Lotta Sea Lice, his work on a Velvet Underground, and a whole litany of other projects that have called for his time and attention.</p>
<p>So yeah, by 2020, Kurt Vile was definitely burnt out, and desperately in need of a break. Then the pandemic hit. Unexpectedly, Vile had all the time in the world. “It was what needed to happen for me,” he said over the phone from his home in Philadelphia. “I wanted to stop anyway. I was planning to do some version of that, but easier said than done. You get an offer. You agree to all these things. Me, personally, I needed some kind of reset. For sure, I wasn’t happy.”</p>
<p>It didn’t take long for the father of two to settle into full-blown domesticated Dad life. He went for long walks in the woods around his home in the pastoral Mount Airy neighborhood. He read. And then, he started writing songs. Vile already had a few tracks in the can from a pre-pandemic recording trip with the Violators to San Francisco, but a large portion of what became his sprawling, eighth solo album – and his first on a major label – Watch My Moves was curated right inside his home studio.</p>
<p>Like many of Vile’s previous projects, Watch My Moves is packed with sprawling compositions that combine clever, lyrical insights, with an eclectic array of heady, zone-out-inducing jams. It’s the kind of record that you fall into and disappear, while Vile’s howling guitar washes over you like a hazy miasma across 15 different tracks.</p>
<p>There are songs about his neighborhood, in Mount Airy. There are songs about mental horror movie marathons. There are songs about opening up for Neil Young in front of 80,000 people in Quebec. You can get a sense of Watch My Moves from the first listen. But the deeper revelations don’t fully unveil themselves until much, further investigation. That’s just how the Vile likes it.</p>
<p>“I know this record is the most honest version of myself and I’m really proud of it,” he said. “It’s my own version of a masterpiece, but it’s very raw at times. I think it’s going to really just grow on people.”</p>
<p>Recently, I had the opportunity to talk to Vile about what he did during his time away from the stage, his longstanding affinity for Neil Young and Bruce Springsteen – whose song “Wages of Sin” he covered on Watch My Moves — and how the hell he ended up in the woods, wearing an alligator mask on the cover of his latest record.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>SPIN: What were these last few years like for you?</strong><br /><strong>Kurt Vile:</strong> I’ve been home for a couple years straight, with the family being a normal dad. I went over to L.A. a few times. Did a lot of recording here in Philly, in my home studio, and over in L.A. Writing music every day, whatever. Lately, I’m in the rush to write music. I got one double album in the can and probably three albums on the cutting room floor left behind. Maybe I’ll come back to it. Maybe I’ll just keep going. Who knows? Who cares? It’s just my life.</p>
<p><strong>You released your last album Bottle It In in 2018 and toured a bunch right after that. What was your initial idea of what those next couple years were going to look like and how did that get interrupted by the pandemic?</strong><br />I’ll tell you what, I remember getting Bottle It In in by the skin of my teeth. That was no easy feat. I’m proud of that record. I think that record’s underrated. It’s a deep, sprawling record. Anyway, I remember going to start rehearsals with the Violators and just being so under-prepared, even though we had plenty of practice. I felt like I was just thrown into the universe, just ready to just explode. Slowly but surely, we got tight over in Europe. By the end of it, we played Hardly Strictly Bluegrass festival (“one of my favorites”) in San Francisco. And I booked some sessions at Stinson Beach to record with Cate Le Bon.</p>
<p>This is November of 2019, mind you, after a bunch of touring. She produced five songs. It came out good. “Jesus on a Wire” came out of that session. But then as soon as I got home, I got kind of sad because I was like, “Wait, I didn’t really have the Violators record while we’re out there on the road.” So I told my manager and he was like, “Well, we got this one offer for this random festival in Joshua Tree (in January 2020).” We played the show and then we went to the studio with Rob Schnapf. The first song we recorded was the Springsteen cover, “Wages of Sin.”</p>
<p><strong>Wow, nice.</strong><br />The very last thing we did was “Cool Water,” and that was like the Violators at our peak, post all that touring, and we got this masterpiece. I knew “Cool Water” was going to make the record. And then I went home. Then came winter, and that’s when the pandemic hit. I had some good stuff in the can, and I knew I was going to make a record from home more or less anyway. If I didn’t have those songs in the can, maybe I’d been more stressed out. But honestly, I took advantage and just disappeared and lived a normal life.</p>
<p><strong>I was gonna ask you about that Springsteen cover, “Wages of Sin.” My introduction to your music was a different Springsteen cover you did of “Downbound Train” over a decade ago. What made you decide to cover Springsteen again on this album? And what is it about these songs, “Downbound Train” and “Wages of Sin”, that made you want to add your own interpretation to them?</strong><br />Well, they’re both pretty deep. But “Wages of Sin,” in particular, that whole three-CD collection Tracks, hit me hard. I would go to songs like “Janey Don’t You Lose Heart,” and “Restless Nights.” “Wages of Sin” was another one, and I tried to do a version of that with the original lineup of the Violators back around 2007. It was cool, but I haven’t heard it since then. I turned my latest bandmate, our drummer Kyle Spence, onto it. And he’s like, “Oh, we should do our own version, an updated version.” Part of it too, was around that time, Springsteen had released a new album, Western Stars and I loved it. That made me excited too because that was my favorite album of his in years. It was sort of like my Valium on the plane. I turned that on and start with “Hitch Hikin.’” I love that song.</p>
<p>Springsteen, when people ask me…he’s like a member of my family. Sometimes we talk, sometimes we don’t, but he’s like my brother. He’ll kill you with a song. “Wages of Sin” spoke to me. Like the song itself was like a member of my family. And I just knew nobody was going to do it anytime soon, so I better grab it just in case somebody does.</p>
<p><strong>You mentioned how tight you got with the Violators on that last tour. Is there any impulse for you to put out a live album someday? Or a live music collection? </strong><br />I mean, sure. A lot of times, what I don’t like about it is you feel really good about the concert, then you hear it back and you can hear it in all this raw out of tune-ness and I think my vocal wasn’t as good. But that said, I think we get better live all the time. Early on was a different, raw thing that we never be able to touch again. So I’m not putting down the old style either, but these days, my favorite artist is Sun Ra. And one thing he did was record everything. And I’ve been recording everything since then. Record my rehearsals, and we recorded most of the beginning of the Bottle It In tour, but I’m going to make sure that we are recording everything. I’m not afraid of it anymore. I’m going to keep listening and seeing what needs to be improved. So yeah, sure, maybe one day there’ll be a live album. Who knows?</p>
<p><strong>Speaking of Sun Ra, you invited his tenor saxophonist James Stewart play on this album, on the song “Like Exploding Stones.” How did you get Sun Ra, and how did James add his saxophone to this album?</strong><br />We invited him and he came over. Next thing you know, he’s on the record. Next thing you know, he agrees to be on the video and wear his Sun Ra outfit. It was pretty surreal. Me and my wife saw him with the Arkestra in like December of 2019. He was just magnetic to look at, James himself. And I was like, “Man, that guy’s got such good tone and flow and notes.” The way he was playing, et cetera, it’s just right in my wheelhouse or something. And I just put it in the back of my pocket. I was hoping one day we could work together. And then next thing you know, I signed to a jazz label and the head of Verve just got in touch with him. I assumed he lived in Philly, but he lived in Trenton, close enough. But the Sun Ra house is around the corner from where I live.</p>

<p> </p>
<p><strong>I’ve never been to Philadelphia, but it seems most of my favorite bands are all from Philadelphia. Why does it seem to be such an incredible place for songwriters to exist and make music?</strong><br />Well, I feel lucky because I’m from here and I’m vindicated that I never left because I just feel I’ve come into my own more than ever. We moved to a part of the city — It’s not a suburb, they’ve been saying it’s a suburb but I don’t know how that got out there – but it’s just got lots of trees. Mount Airy. It’s got mountainous areas and trails along the Wissahickon.</p>
<p>I think I’m lucky because certain people who lived in New York, like Ted Young, who engineered the two albums I did with John Agnello, Smoke Ring for My Halo and Wakin on a Pretty Daze, he moved from New York to Philly and next thing you know, he’s recording with me at my house. It’s a huge step up. More and more people, I feel like are coming here. And now, we got a real crew going. People that have done my videos. My buddy Drew has been involved in all the videos and he’s a Philly guy. We’ve been filming a lot of documentary-style things. I don’t know, just keeping it local. It feels good.</p>
<p><strong>You mentioned that you recorded at home for a lot of this record. Tell me a little bit about your home studio as a recording space, as a creative environment for you. What was important for you to put in that space and how this album kind of came out of there?</strong><br />I’ve always had recording equipment, but I just upgraded and just got the right people to be in my circle to help me. Most of my bandmates record professionally one way or another, and I just knew it was time to upgrade and get fully functional on my own. I was trying to do that anyway, before the pandemic hit, that was the plan. I just got deep into to getting back to where I’m recording myself, but a little bit of more high fidelity. Just to have my guard completely down while being at home, it’s a long time coming. It’s something every artist should ultimately be able to do. I think just always be thinking about getting your music down any way you can, that’s sort of the key.</p>

<p> </p>
<p><strong>Were there any songs in this particular album that were recorded in that lo-fi, four-track, Nebraska album style?</strong><br />“Flyin Like A Fast Train” started out on a four-track cassette and ended up in the Hi-Fi system. Like a year later, I ended up recording lead guitar onto it through the console and everything else, and then Rob Schnapf mixed it in his studio. But that’s the beauty, you know?</p>
<p><strong>I thought that was an interesting dichotomy. This is your major-label debut as it were, but it was recorded in a way that’s pretty similar to how you did in the beginning of your career, in a home studio environment. Did making this record feel like kind of getting back to this original version of yourself, when you were making those demos all those years ago?</strong><br />I feel like I’m always doing that. I think it’s about staying true to my roots all the time, for sure. I remember everything, so I can tap back into all the different versions of me at any time. I’m a nostalgic person. But also, I’m always looking forward, thinking ahead about how I can not repeat myself exactly. I’m always aiming to make my best record yet. I’ve been thinking obsessively about this record the whole time. That’s always my goal: to stay true to my roots and don’t forget who I am and who are important to me, even though sometimes I get stuck, and I don’t talk to people for a while because I’m just stuck in my own world. But this album wasn’t just recorded at home, it was recorded at Rob Schnapf’s studio in L.A.</p>
<p><strong>You’ve worked with Rob on several projects now. </strong><br />The first thing we recorded together was “Pretty Pimpin’” and we hit it off. But now, we’re closer than ever. Just buddies. He doesn’t get in the way, unless you want him to. He’s just a good listener. Early on, I remember I recorded the song “Wild Imagination,” which is the last track on b’lieve i’m goin down. I really like that song. And I remember that was early on I was nervous and I did the three takes really quick. And I was like, “I don’t know. I guess go with the first take and we’ll just add to it because I don’t know.” And he’s like, “Nah, second take is the one.” And then I listened back, sure enough, he was right. So he is there listening, staying out of the way, and he was just positive. He’ll just roll with you. In the old days, we’d be drinking lots of Modelos together and just whatever. And now, I don’t drink anymore and he still does. What are you going to do?</p>
<p><strong>Like so many other people, you’ve been in the cycle of album/tour/album/tour for years. What was it like just to be home with your family, chilling, without anywhere to go for such a long span these last couple of years?</strong><br />It was actually totally great and it’s still great. Needed it. We’ve always been close, but I don’t know, it was what needed to happen for me.</p>
<p><strong>What do you mean? Why did it need to happen?</strong><br />Well, I could feel it coming on anyway, but it would’ve been weird. I wasn’t necessarily happy. I was not happy constantly just ping-ponging and just traveling nonstop. It went past that. I think we were just traveling, even not touring. And I wanted to stop anyway. I was planning to do some version of that, but easier said than done. You get an offer, you agree to all these things. Me personally, I needed some kind of reset. For sure, I wasn’t happy.</p>
<p><strong>In what ways did you reset? Did you kind of take more walks in the woods, read some books? What did that look like?</strong><br />I would do that as much as I could anyway. I’d be writing music all the time or reading or just be with the family. Do what needs to be done. But ultimately, it’s living normal life.</p>
<p><strong>On the first track, “Goin On A Plane Today,” you sing about opening up for Neil Young. What would a young Kurt Vile think about realizing a dream like that, if we went back 20 years, 25 years ago?</strong><br />That’s exactly what I say in the song. I say, “Imagine if I knew this when I was young too. I mean, I liked Neil Young back in my teens, but I got obsessed in my 20s at some point similarly. I loved his music anyway, but then you read [Jimmy McDonough’s biography] Shakey and then you realize, he’s the God. He’s God.</p>
<p><strong>You have a tendency to record long on some songs. “Exploding Stones” for instance is a seven-minute song. “Wages of Sin,” is a seven-minute song. “Bassackwards” off Bottle It In is another great long jam. When you’re feeling it, what’s the point where you realize it’s time to hit the stop button?</strong><br />Well, honestly, a lot of times I don’t necessarily know when to stop. I just keep going because I’m feeling it. I think it’s also my personality. I don’t think everybody can pull it off and some might argue that I can’t always pull it off. That’s fine. But I think “Bassackwards”, I just was locked in the groove and going for it. I mean, I could have cut some out of that song, but I just didn’t end up doing it. Same with “Bottle It In,” that’s my favorite long song of mine. I didn’t know it was going to be that long either. I was just trying to make sure I got all the lyrics right. It’s hard to get rid of stuff sometimes if you’re feeling that. I think it’s also just my personality, you know? I don’t even know if everybody could pull it off.</p>
<p><strong>“Ramada Inn” off Psychedelic Pill? </strong><br />My bandmate, Kyle, that’s his favorite. He played that a lot on the Bottle It In tour. I would say subliminally, “Like Exploding Stones,” when I laid it down with a demo, it sounds exactly like the recording of just me strumming and singing it. I say subliminally, there’s some Psychedelic Pill influence in that song as it were.</p>
<p><strong>I gotta ask you about the cover art for this album. You’re wearing the alligator mask. I believe it’s your two daughters sitting there beside you. How did you end up choosing to go with that image?</strong><br />It had just been Halloween and I was really enjoying the fact that I was home two Halloweens in a row. It seemed like in particular, I’d always be on the road during Halloween. My daughter, Delphine, she was really pushing me. She’s like, “You got to figure out what you’re going to be for Halloween.” And, I was like, “I don’t know.” Finally, we decided on this alligator. She picked out the mask, it showed up, and then I went out.</p>
<p>I was excited because I was going to work with Geoff Gans to do the art. He’s done all of Bob Dylan’s art since Time Out of Mind. I was like, “Well, I don’t know what I’m going to do, but I do know I’m sick of every album cover looking the same. Like, this dude with long hair and a guitar, blah, blah, blah.</p>
<p>And then my wife went away, so I had the girls. I just had my friends take documentary footage of us going into the woods with my daughters because they were dressed up for Halloween as well. So I was like, “Well, we’re going to videotape, and we’ll either get an album cover or we’ll get some hilarious footage of us trying to get an album cover.” And it just turned out. First shot.</p>

<p> </p>
<p><strong>You’ve got 15 songs in this album. You also mentioned you’ve got another three albums worth of material perhaps in the wings? What do you think the chances are we’re going hear some of that stuff in the next year and a half, two years?</strong><br />I have so much material that I’m afraid I’m going to lose all that stuff and I got to get it out there. There’s always stuff leftover. There’s hundreds or thousands of things and it’s crazy. I don’t know. You’ll hear some of it. You’ll never hear all of it.</p>
<p><strong>You’ve been sitting on this music for a while now. How do you feel about it now and how excited are you for people to actually finally hear these songs?</strong><br />I’m always excited. I know this record is the most honest version of myself and I’m really proud of it. It’s my own version of a masterpiece, but it’s very raw at times. I think it’s going to really just grow on people. I can’t tell you how it’ll do with all the feedback, but it doesn’t matter at the end of the day, because I know it’s solid and it’s for my fans and it’s for me. And it’s the best I can offer.</p>
<p><strong>When you say it’s the honest Kurt Vile, what do you mean by that? Who is the honest Kurt Vile?</strong><br />It’s me, man. It’s me.</p>

<p><strong>Kanye West</strong>His motto has to be &#8220;From the old, into the new&#8221; because he is said to be swapping his home in the Mercedes-Benz Stadium for another location where he hopes to finish his belated album Donda. </p>

<p>The 44-year-old rapper &#8220;moved into&#8221; the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta on July 23, after holding his first listening party there.</p>
<p>Kanye was so inspired by the crowd at his Donda event that he decided to <strong>stay in the restaurant</strong>where the Grammy winner wanted to stay until his album was released.    </p>

<p>Well, Donda&#8217;s reported debut came and went twice, and now it seems the rapper has had enough of his home away from home.  </p>
<p>One of Yes&#8217;s close associates may have let the cat out of the bag because KayCyy tweeted and then deleted her schedule.  </p>

<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re moving to another stadium,&#8221; the rising star wrote of Kanye&#8217;s entourage. </p>

<p>Kanye had it done nicely at Mercedes-Benz.  The rapper &#8220;Jesus Is King&#8221; quickly built an apartment for himself and his team, a studio to finish work, and hired a chef to cook <strong>all of his meals</strong>.</p>

<p>Unfortunately, his bedroom was only the size of a prison cell.  Kanye shocked his fans when he teamed up with Apple Music to livestream his bedroom.</p>
<p>In true ye fashion, he <strong>fell asleep in front of the camera</strong> and everyone thought it was a brilliant artistic move. </p>
<p>Radar reached out to all three as well as the Mercedes-Benz Stadium to track down Kanye.  However, if he&#8217;s still trying to get his relationship with supermodel Irina Shayk working, he might want to visit a few states.  </p>

<p>The 35-year-old catwalk fox dropped her mouth when she was spotted <strong>sneak out</strong> from her ex-boyfriend <strong>Vito Schnabel</strong>&#8216;s New York house on Wednesday. </p>
<p>Kanye was <strong>linked first</strong> to the model in June, when the duo made their couple debut in France for the rapper&#8217;s 44th birthday. </p>

<p>As Radar exclusively reported, Ye was <strong>&#8220;disappointed&#8221;</strong> that their relationship didn&#8217;t make the headlines like Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez. </p>
<p>“Kanye literally got wannabe news on the front page through the news that he was dating.  He envisioned a news channel breaking into their coverage to announce that Kanye was in a new relationship.  He expected Vogue and other fashion magazines to call him and beg him to do a cover and is very disappointed that it didn&#8217;t happen, &#8220;a source told us at the time.</p>

<p>They were still strong for the past month.  &#8220;They are still together,&#8221; said an insider <strong>PEOPLE</strong>, added that Irina joined Kanye in San Francisco in July.</p>
