@@bubbamike4743 Stu co-wrote every song on Polygondwanaland, co-written with Joey and Cavs. And if you compare Poly to the rest of Joey’s work, it’s clear that he was the principal songwriter on about 2/3rds of the album. A bunch of Joey exclusive tropes show up everywhere, especially Inner Cell -> Searching. It seems to me like the other two got co-credit because of how intricate their self-written parts were.
Hope to see more stuff like this with Stu, he did a great interview/breakdown of the ableton project for Honey with KEXP which I imagine if you are watching this you probably have already seen (if not I would really recommend). He doesn't really mess around with mundane promotional interviews but when he takes the time to give some insight into his process it is really appreciated.
That's awesome that it inspired you, and glad you liked the interview. He's a fascinating person, and as a fan of the band I felt like I needed to know more about his creative process given how ridiculous his output is. It was hardly a surprise when he told me that he gets anxious when he's not creating.
Stu speaks straight from his mind and his heart. So refreshing hearing someone like that talk about their creative endeavours. I feel like we don't get too many people like him in this world. Love that man
this is such an interesting interview, hearing about the songwriting proccess of stu is so informative, and hearing about how artists can find inspiration from movement and sounds in their natural environment is so interesting to me. i am very glad you got stu on the show! hes such a cool guy :)
I’ve noticed their music used to be more garage rock and wall of sound sounding, now in recent albums you can hear the attention to detail and all the little nuances like on a track like Intrasport
@@peacemac1992 nah they don’t sound as if they’re playing all together in the same room anymore, lots of electronic details and separate studios, overdubs. They’ve gotten way better at recording, I don’t know if you understand what I’m saying if you’re going to disagree like that
Bro. Stu saying he like, HAS to have his hands busy is so relatable to me in an autistic sense. I’m autistic and i really NEED to be doing something very specific or i will become stressed and fucking depressed. That’s so neat to hear someone else has that...weird “thing.”
this guy has incredible talent and strong drive . i am shocked at the quality of his output - there is literally NO filler . it took me a while to realize how great this band really is , initially i thought oh this band has great videos .... then 2017 happened and i was like this band is fucking tops period . i love all of their music . i feel they should be ruling the world , but every time i get that with an artist they end up with a dedicated cult following not world domination . i spose in order to be THAT popular you cant really make quality music . you have to deliver the stuff that sells. the irony is in order to be a success at music you have to fail .
the comment made at 8:40 is how I look at it as well, I also embrace a creative block, because it simply means you eleveted above you've been doing and your vision has grown. you are not "satisfied" anymore with the quality you of the work you produce, so you have to become better, learn, grow. I cannot imagine an artist existing without creative blockage, because it would mean they stay on the same level and never progress. so a block is a sign of growth, while it can still be quite annoying and frustrating, this idea gives me comfort when I'm stuck.
Stu saying he hasint written much unfathomable 😅 KG and LW time era BF 3000 six months after this Onmnium Gatherum and Made in Timeland just over a year from this time period Then ice Death Planets Laminated Denim and Changes, which we know Changes was written over a five year time frame since 2017
I don't write music but I write comedy and it's really cool to me hearing how musicians get ideas from stimuli around them because I absolutely do that with comedy.
So glad to stumble upon your channel Ben, this is EXACTLY the type of interview I want to see with my favorite artists. The whole process of writing is equally as fascinating as the music itself for me
Discussion about movement/shower and inspiration was super interesting. Having constant stimulation for our active minds and the nature of media being accessible everywhere means we don’t get to be alone with our thoughts. That’s where the magic happens.
HUGE fan of The Sword! Check out my site Songwriters on Process; I've interviewed him twice (both transcribed, not video or audio). He's a great guy to interview too. Seen them live many many times.
everyone talks about how KG is a prolific band. OK nice. but have you stopped to listen to Omar Rodriguez Lopez's discography? makes KG look like a child.
