posted August 6th, 2018

Will Oldham first heard Kevin Coyne and Dagmar Krause’s BABBLE record from friends Rich Schuler (the original drummer for Louisville’s King Kong).

He played the record... (read more)

I would receive a manila envelope at certain intervals. the envelopes contained finished works of lyric. completed music-less songs.

The house was somewhat of a husk of that previous existence placed in a small clearing inside of a 170 acre cornfield. I sought to live here as a come down from what had been the longest tour I...
