After 6 years, _Warpaint is back with their fourth studio album 'Radiate Like This.' Here, therealkurtvile talks to StellaMozgawa, the band's drummer, about making covers of your own songs and the fine line between “cool” and “dick.”
. But, as Kurt Vile reminds us, Mozgawa has always been a producer—the drummer’s intuition was one of the magic ingredients that brought Vile’s 2013 album,, to life. Here, the old friends and mutual fans discuss making covers of your own songs, releasing post-lockdown albums, and the fine line between “cool” and “dick.”STELLA MOZGAWA: It’s been really challenging, actually because I hadn’t seen Jen and Emily in over two years.
VILE: Well, I brought on a friend of mine as a guitar tech, but really I was just seeing if I minded having him around. At the end of the day, I just want people in the band who I like hanging out with. We were supposed to start touring two days ago, but I’m still home because of COVID related things. We had to delay a couple shows.MOZGAWA: Are you going to Europe this year?
VILE: It’s easy because of FaceTime. It’s cute, too, because Delphine still answers the phone the way she did when she was a toddler. I don’t ever draw attention to it, because then she’ll stop doing it. She’s like, “Hi?” with a question mark, instead of “Hello.” MOZGAWA: You’ve handled it so well. I want to hop back to a year ago, because I never really got to ask you what it was like producing that Dinosaur Jr. Record [VILE: At first it stressed me out. I didn’t know why they thought I was a good choice. I’ve toured a bunch with them, and they’re high school heroes of mine. I was nervous. Jay told my manager, “He doesn’t know how to produce, and that’s why I want him to do it.
MOZGAWA: That one song. She was like, “Can we make a whole album that just sounds like that song?” The best recording experience of my life was making that record with you. I think back on it fondly. It never really felt like we were making a record, there was so much freedom. We didn’t have a huge time crunch. There wasn’t an enormous pressure to get a set amount of songs done. I think that’s the way it is with you, in general.
VILE: Well, until we worked together on “girl called Alex,” I’d never played with anybody so musical. It’s why I kept wanting to work with you.
