Drive-By Truckers New Release: Go-Go Boots
Review by jambands.com:
Listen to me: grab a copy of the Drive-By Truckers’ new Go-Go Boots in your format of choice, throw it on the stereo and put an ear to, say, just the first four songs. And then we’ll talk.
Track 1: “I Do Believe” – Sweet summer top-down-and-surf’s-up shimmy hip shake propelled along by Brad Morgan and Shonna Tucker’s bass/drum road rhythm. You don’t even need the...

Nicolas Jaar and Pitchfork
Pitchfork: Your album doesn't particularly strike me as dance music. Did you think of it as dance music when you started making it?
NJ: No. The thing is that the market needs things to say. And so dance music is what they said for my earlier releases because they were faster and more inspired by left-field dance artists like Ricardo Villalobos. But the music I make in the studio-- the kind that really comes out of me without any interference-- is what I put on the album. I try to keep it super honest. The album has the ghost of my old dance music influences, but it's not dance music per se.
Pitchfork: Listening to the album, it's hard to tell how much of it is programmed electronic stuff and how much of it is traditional instruments.
NJ: Yeah, that's kind of the point. I play a lot of instruments but I like keeping the illusion, balancing on a thin line. If it's an organic element, then I really try to give it enough of an electronic mask, and vice versa.
Nicolas Jaar: "Colomb" (from Space Is Only Noise)
Pitchfork: You're in Berlin right now. Are you there to DJ?
Nicolas Jaar: I don't DJ, actually. I'm playing my own music at this club called Watergate. I play keyboard, a couple of machines, trigger things through the computer, and sing live.
Pitchfork: It's hard to imagine how your music might work in a club context because it's so slow and airy and textured. How does it go over?
NJ: I try to accentuate the things that are going to work in an environment where the bass is bigger than it should be, so I just rely on kicks and bass and melodies. The surface doesn't matter so much for a club environment.
Pitchfork: How do people react?
NJ: It's funny. People have different relationships to bass in different countries. When I play in Israel, I can play at 70 BPM, and people have their hands up in the air. But in other countries they want it much faster, with the bass a little less deep and more punchy. It's not so easy all the time, but it shouldn't be.
Pitchfork: How hard is it balancing your studies at Brown with jetting all over the world to play shows?
NJ: Personally, it's super necessary for me to have these two things because reading all these texts at Brown helps me develop ideas for music.
Pitchfork: I have to tell you: Your music makes a really great soundtrack for putting my daughter to sleep.
NJ: That's exactly what I want. If my music can forever be putting-your-daughter-to-sleep music, I swear to god I'll keep on making music until I die.
