BV Interviews: A Podcast About Music

• The Charlatans' Tim Burgess

  This week we welcome Tim Burgess of long-running Manchester band The Charlatans who just released their 14th album, We Are Love. We talk about working with producer Dev Hynes of Blood Orange on the album, and recording at famed Rockfield Studios in Wales for the first time since 1997's Tellin' Stories and the first time since original keyboardist Rob Collins died in a car crash during the making of the album. Other topics include the return of so many '90s bands this year, Tim's pandemic-era Twitter Listening Parties, DJing a David Lynch tribute, five records Tim thinks everyone should own, and more. -- Credits: Hosted & produced by Bill Pearis Mixed and mastered by Nick Gray Theme music by Michael Silverstein

• Soulwax talk new LP, remixes, 2ManyDJs, Despacio, more

  This week we've got Stephen and David Dewaele of Belgian dance-rock greats Soulwax, not to mention 2ManyDJs, Despacio and DEEWEE Records fame. Soulwax just released All Systems Are Lying, their first album in seven years, and we talk about that and how it differed from the last two records. Our wide-ranging conversation also hit on their approach to remixes, interviewing Prince on Belgian television, what makes Belgian music sound Belgian, the mid-'80s Belgian New Beat scene, their mobile club Despacio with James Murphy, Soulwax's infamous 2006 gig at Brooklyn club Studio B, working with Marie Davidson on her album City of Clowns, what DEEWEE Records has coming out next, and lots more.  -- Credits: Hosted & produced by Bill Pearis Mixed and mastered by Nick Gray Theme music by Michael Silverstein

• Super Furry Animals' Gruff Rhys

  This week we've got Welsh indie rock legend and Super Furry Animals frontman, Gruff Rhys who just released his ninth solo album, Dim Probs, which is also his first for Mogwai's Rock Action label. We discussed the bleak themes of the album and the Welsh DIY music that inspired it, his recent US tour celebrating the 10th anniversary of his album American Interior, missing the Oasis reunion shows in Cardiff, that time Super Furry Animals toured with Oasis 20 years ago, raves in the Welsh countryside, working with illustrator Pete Fowler for Dim Probs and the merch opportunities with the album's artwork, plus five records he thinks everyone should own, and more.   It should be noted that this interview happened before Super Furry Animals announced they were reforming for shows in 2026 and you can hear Gruff successfully dodge the question of SFA's status. -- Credits: Hosted & produced by Bill Pearis Mixed and mastered by Nick Gray Theme music by Michael Silverstein

• Cate Le Bon on 'Michelangelo Dying,' producing Wilco, touring & more

  This week we've got Welsh iconoclast Cate Le Bon who just released the wonderful, if heartbreaking new album, Michelangelo Dying. We discussed how the album was not the record she intended or wanted to make; her creative partnership with producer and engineer Samur Khouja; working with musicians Dylan Hadley, Valentina Magliati, Stephen Black and Euan Hinshelwood on the album; her other career as a producer making records with Wilco, Dry Cleaning, Horsegirl and more; her 2026 tour plans; her new dog, and more. -- Credits: Hosted & produced by Bill Pearis Mixed and mastered by Nick Gray Theme music by Michael Silverstein

• Fred Armisen on '100 Sound Effects,' Steve Albini, Uncle Fester spinoff, more

  Comedian, actor and musician Fred Armisen has just released a new album: 100 Sound Effects and yes it's exactly that -- a old school sound effects album, but one only Fred Armisen could make. We talked to Fred about how he came to make it, how the late Steve Albini played a part in it, and the unexpected difficulties there were in creating his own sound effects. Along the way there are digressions into '80s "marimba wave" and Sophistipop, singing Foreigner in an episode of Wednesday, the show's upcoming Uncle Fester spinoff, five records Fred thinks everyone should own and more.   PS in the episode there is mention of making a "marimba wave" playlist and you can listen to that here.   -- Credits: Hosted & produced by Bill Pearis Mixed and mastered by Nick Gray Theme music by Michael Silverstein
