This week I interviewed Josh Homme for Xfm. With his trademark laconic drawl the imposing Queens of the Stone Age frontman said: ‘I love to surprise people, I love to musically hang ‘em upside down by their ankles and wring ‘em out like a wet towel.’ It serves as an accurate way of describing the way each of the songs included on this new podcast have affected me these past few weeks. I knew Thee Oh Sees’ Toe Cutter Thumb Buster would be an opener from the second I heard its rumbling, lethargic riff on Tom Ravenscroft’s 6 Music show a couple of Fridays ago*. Elsewhere on the new ABNF there’s a jazz funk party, terrifically brutal noise generated by a drum-mounted oscillator, refreshing Cali-inspired summer pop, dark doomy Calgarian treasure which sounds like it was recorded in the Rotherhithe Tunnel and a song with a chorus so catchy you’ll need some kind of lobotomy to escape it. I’m also chuffed to have Pitchfork’s UK based Associate Editor Laura Snapes on as Guest Informant. During our chat we discuss the future of the music press, the various differences between UK and US music writing, The National’s new album and her decision to drop out of university to work at the NME. Laura also recommends a stack of music she’s currently enjoying and chooses to play some crinkled new wave funk by Pat Jordache and the rousingly optimistic Runner by Laura Stevenson and the Cans. It’s an hour of music designed to delight, surprise and, perhaps occasionally, disgust. *I’m all too aware that saying this now might mean you won’t ever make it to the podcast, but the new Oh Sees album, Floating Coffin, is worth dropping everything to go and listen to immediately.
