Episode 26: Marty Willson-Piper Talks Noctorum's 'The Afterlife', 'Hanging Out in Heaven' Vinyl Record Day Release and More
Manage episode 230993088 series 2124325
While Marty Willson-Piper is best known for his work with Aussie alt-rock pioneers The Church, the guitarist/singer-songwriter has had a rich and varied solo career outside his former band (who he departed in 2013 after a 20 year run).
He's also worked with the likes of Grace Slick, Linda Perry and Aimee Mann and has been a member of a number of bands including Noctorum, MOAT, and Swedish prog-rockers Anekdoten.
And his busy output continues in 2019 with 'The Afterlife', the fourth release from Noctorum, a duo comprised of Piper and producer Dare Mason, which came out out this February via Schoolkids Records.
In addition, Willson-Piper is releasing his fifth solo album, 2000's 'Hanging Out In Heaven' on vinyl for the first time ever as an exclusive blue-tinged double-LP release for Record Store Day 2019, (also via Schoolkids Records) including bonus tracks.
On our latest podcast, Willson-Piper discussed his recent UK acoustic tour (performing alongside his wife, violinist Olivia Willson-Piper), the creative process and musical inspirations behind 'The Afterlife', recollections of 'Hanging Out In Heaven', the perils of crowdfunding, upcoming musical projects, his love for his fanbase and much more.
And be sure to stick around after the interview is over: we close out the episode with 'The Moon Drips' off 'The Afterlife', and 'You Bring Your Love To Me' (my favorite MWP song!) off 'Hanging Out in Heaven.'
