Black Emperor,\u00a0Fennesz and AM oldies radio stations came up,\u201d Hebden recalls. \u201cBut the main influence was found when we discovered a shared deep connection to \u201880s American country and folk music \u2013 artists like\u00a0Lyle Lovett,\u00a0Nanci Griffith and Joe Ely.\u00a0My father was a huge fan of this sound and through my teenage years I heard this music most days and was taken to see loads of performances. The guitar player\u00a0David Grissom\u00a0made a huge impact on me as a kid learning to play. It\u2019s not an influence that I usually mention, but it\u2019s in there more than I realize and must have helped me develop my sound and ideas.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt turns out that William\u2019s father was working in Nashville as a songwriter during this period and\u00a0actually knew\u00a0people like\u00a0David Grissom,\u201d he continues \u201cSo,\u00a0William had grown up with this music as well and knew all the stuff that I was talking about and we both felt that it had shaped our styles. Our idea for the album was to make music that focused on that influence and brought it to the front of our awareness. We\u2019d record the guitars in the studio, exploring styles and sounds from that music, and then I\u2019d take it all home to my computer and bring it into my other world.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hebden spent \u201calmost two years doing the computer bit of the album and sometimes sent stuff back over to William who added more overdubs and ideas in response. On some tracks, all that\u2019s left of the guitars are digital fragments of sound making rhythmic textures. Taking it slowly allowed us to create a new sound out of this shared teenage experience and gift from our fathers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While he and Hebden initially \u201cbonded over a mutual love of a lot of late \u201890s post rock,\u201d Tyler says he was \u201ckinda\u00a0shocked (in the best way) that [Hebden] was so versed in \u201880s Americana. Not so much my world, but\u00a0definitely a\u00a0world I grew up around. I never thought that a connection with someone like Kieran would end up coming down to both of our dads and their mutual love of a certain kind of music. I grew up in Nashville, he grew up in London. But we heard things the same way, I think.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When it came to actually make music together in the same room, Tyler \u201cnever really thought, oh, we\u2019re\u00a0gonna\u00a0have this album done by a certain point. I just knew that when Kieran felt like it was done, it would be done. I think we both in our own specific ways want to recontextualize a lot of music that we grew up with, regardless of the genre, and I think that\u2019s what this album reflects. It\u2019s a lot of nostalgia but it\u2019s also very forward-focused. I don\u2019t even know what genre I\u2019m supposed to be in at this point, but I trust Kieran and I love what we\u2019ve done together. He\u2019s become a dear\u00a0friend\u00a0and I can\u2019t wait to see what\u2019s ahead for us.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<lite-youtube videoid=\"hr0aggfIOu4\" style=\"bottom: 0; height: 100%; left: 0; position: absolute; right: 0; top: 0; width: 100%; max-width:100%;\"><\/lite-youtube>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>To see our running list of the top 100 greatest rock stars of all time, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spin.com\/2021\/07\/the-greatest-rock-stars-of-all-time\/?utm_source=yahoo&amp;utm_medium=bottomlink&amp;utm_campaign=yahoolink\">click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" class=\"sharethis-inline-share-buttons\" ><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fresh off dazzling thousands of fans last weekend while headlining his own two-day festival at Under the K Bridge Park in Brooklyn, N.Y., Four Tet\u2019s Kieran Hebden has re-teamed with&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[745,746,6,24,45],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1382","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-four-tet","category-lyle-lovett","category-news","category-pushly","category-william-tyler"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/musictechohio.online\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1382","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/musictechohio.online\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/musictechohio.online\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/musictechohio.online\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/musictechohio.online\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1382"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/musictechohio.online\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1382\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/musictechohio.online\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1382"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/musictechohio.online\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1382"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/musictechohio.online\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1382"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
