Re: SPIN Interview with Karl
Just goes to show the chasm between intent and reception. I agree, the Noughts seemed like a prolific time for UW. For me, AHDO had the spirit of a band soldiering on after losing a key player. The RiverRun seemed to express an experimentalism that may have been lacking previously. OWB is not my favorite, but at the time of release, Karl called it the album Rick always wanted to make. In light of the interview, maybe the chasm between the two was growing here. And on second take, maybe Barking's many guest producers were called in to salvage unfinished tracks by the duo? Pure speculation.
Still, so active in name these past 6 years, to pretty awesome results, it'll be great to hear what they've created in this new mode of working.
