\u200bLast time DCMR got to talk with The Infamous Stringdusters was after their set in Atlanta at Sweetwater 420 Fest and as the band makes their way back towards the Nations Capital, they prepare for the release of their newest work, Rise Sun.  \u200b\u200b\u200bWe wanted to hear all about what went into making this album from the Grammy winning band and what else, besides said Grammy win, \u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200bhas influenced their style, recording process and music in general.  DCMR interviewer <\/strong><\/em>Karin McLaughlin<\/strong><\/em><\/a> got to talk with guitar player Andy Falco about all that and much more (as always).  Catch up on the last interview <\/strong><\/em>here<\/strong><\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

\u200bKarin McLaughlin: You guys have really been checking off everything on the list. I mean, you got a Grammy, \u200blaunched your own label, you’ve got a great band that I love on the label, \u200bHorseshoes and Hand Grenades \u200band now, come Friday, have the release of another album.  I don’t even really know where to start on this one, but let’s go over the process and the differences between \u200b\u200bjust the albums from Laws of Gravity to the new album\u200b, \u200bRise Sun.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Andy Falco<\/strong>: Well, you know, a lot of the process is something that’s developed over many albums actually and constantly gets refined as you make more records and you have more experience.  Also, as artists \u200band musicians and songwriters we evolve, so the process changes gradually over the course of many records.  \u200bPretty much any record that we do, we go into the studio and we play the songs live and then when we get a \u200btake that we like and, \u200bdepending on \u200bwhat’s appropriate for the song, we go \u200bback and include just little extra little bits \u200bwhere you’re kind of using the studio as an instrument in itsel\u200bf.<\/p>\n

\u200bTypically, we \u200bhave an idea for 15 songs with a priority list and we might record some extras\u200b and then you end up just picking what you think fits the best after the fact.  This time, we picked the 13 songs that were going to go on to the record and not only that, but we had sequenced the albums so we knew what order they were going to be in on the record\u200b once the record came out.  \u200bWe decided that we wanted to also incorporate something that happens on our live shows which is these transitions in between songs that are improvised and it creates these\u200b kind of jams\u200b in between. So, in several places, because we knew the order, we were able to figure out where these \u200bjams could live on the record and where they would make sense.  We recorded the entire album in order\u200b over the course of of eight or nine days, which was surprisingly\u200b incredible because\u200b you felt like you were living inside of the record for those days, almost like living the record in real time. \u200b As a result, it really helped shape the energy of the album and it flows in a way that\u200b the listeners are riding on the same energy that we had as a band.  <\/p>\n

For example, the first track \u200b”Rise Sun” is very energetic and sprightly\u200b like the first day in the studio\u200b and then if you go to the last track, which is “Truth and Love”\u200b, all these little subtle sonic elements that appear throughout the rest of the record on different songs reappear in that last \u200bfinale track.   \u200b \u200bWe were able to make these kinds of creative decisions because we recorded \u200bthe album in order and \u200beverything was informed by what you had done the day before and what you were going to be doing tomorrow.  We were able to make creative decisions based on how the record was going to flow as a whole.  That was \u200bthe main\u200b thing that we incorporated \u200bthat was new for us and we feel like it worked out really well. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span>\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

\u200bKM: \u200b Have there been any significant changes since starting your own label as far as the recording process? Are there things that you noticed that you’ve done differently based on the experiences now, having that \u200bnotch on on your belt?<\/strong><\/p>\n

AF: <\/strong>\u200b\u200bJust having our own label, I mean, \u200bwe’ve been with several labels before, including Compass<\/strong>, which we did a couple of records with\u200b and before that we were with Sugar Hill<\/strong>. \u200b There’s always pros and cons to working with a label as an artist\u200b, and\u200b we’ve had\u200b decent experiences with the labels thankfully.   Really what it does is it just allows us to sort of\u200b operate and keep our hands on everything \u200bin-house basically.  Also, as far as our own records go,\u200b we can do things on our own timeline and be able to really oversee everything and do it just as we want. \u200b The bigger picture of Tape Time<\/strong> and having the label is to create a space where \u200bbands who are in this interesting corner of the\u200b music world, this jam grass kind of scene, have a community. \u200b \u200bWe wanted \u200ba place where we could also\u200b release \u200brecords\u200b for people who are \u200b in the same boat as us and trying to just get the music out to people and build a community.  The community from the live standpoint in our corner of the genre is very, very strong, so we wanted \u200ba place where\u200b that community also existed in a \u200brecording format and in a label format.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span>\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

KM: I think that it’s very much admired and appreciated.  I talked to Adam\u200b (Greuel of Horseshoes and Hand Grenades) and he couldn’t say enough good things about not only you guys as \u200bfriends and fellow musicians and almost mentors, but also the fact that they had the opportunity to work with you guys \u200bon your own label and how much they \u200bappreciate that there are musicians\u200b making music for musicians<\/strong>\u200b. There’s nothing lost in that.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u200bAF:\u200b<\/strong> <\/strong>Right. I mean\u200b it if that’s kinda how it was years ago, right?<\/p>\n

KM: Yeah I feel like to a certain extent, you’re not dealing with\u200b as much maybe of the \u200bmarketing and all that kind of stuff.  You’re in there to make the music and make it sound good. \u200b I mean, obviously, making money and selling the records is the bonus, but it’s all about the actual music as the musicians understand it.   I think that’s kind of the underlying appreciation that he was expressing, which is pretty damn cool if you ask me.  <\/strong><\/p>\n

AF<\/strong>: Well\u200b it needs to be, I mean, especially I feel like in this day and age.  Now marketing and all that stuff, it’s important, you know, and \u200bwe would be naive to think that it isn’t. \u200b We have to  keep\u200b fuel in the bus to be able to\u200b get to the shows, (laughs) but \u200bnowadays it has gotten increasingly more difficult for professional musicians like ourselves and \u200bother bands\u200b to be able to make a living off of recorded music in the age of Spotify and whatever streaming service you want to use, right?  \u200bThere’s a lot of benefits to that I think and there’s a lot of great things about it, but unfortunately, one of the downsides of it is it makes it more difficult to monetize recorded music.  <\/p>\n

“\u200b\u200b\u200bIt’s really about trying to create \u200bart \u200band make music that we want to make, that is genuinely us.  It comes right from the heart\u200b and you hope that you can touch somebody with it.”<\/p>\n

I think we’re kind of in a no man’s land when it comes to that as a music industry.  \u200b\u200b\u200bIt’s not that music\u200b has ended, the business<\/em> of music is still strong, it’s just changing. \u200b It is one of these things where\u200b we have to go out to make a living.  We have to go out and play shows, which we love to do fortunately (laughs) but the recorded records, \u200bit’s become very difficult to actually make money.  It has to be about the music, because what else they’re going to be about?  \u200bIt has to be about creating, and having a moment\u200b.  <\/p>\n

For us making a record as a band, that’s the moment when w\u200be get into a house and, for days at a time together, we show each other songs and we work on the music and we really get creative with the arrangements and the writing.   That’s when all of the crucial parts of the creative process happens for us. \u200b Then you get into the studio and you’re\u200b creating more\u200b.  It’s kind of like when they’re making pottery and using the clay wheel. \u200b  That’s \u200bwhen we’re getting our hands dirty in the music, you know what I mean? We’re really diving in as a band.  Then you release\u200b your baby out to the world \u200band, you know, you hope people enjoy it.\u200b   It’s really about trying to create \u200bart \u200band make music that we want to make, that is genuinely us.  It comes right from the heart\u200b and you hope that you can touch somebody with it.<\/p>\n

KM: So I’ve been getting my Timehop reminders and it seems that you guys like to come to the D.C area around the beginning of April apparently.  Over the past week I’ll get a memory from like three years ago, and then oh, two years ago, that I was at a Stringdusters show (laughs).  So we’re super excited that this time it coincides with your actual album release day.   Now that we’ve talked about the hard work and how it’s done, let’s talk about if there’s anything special you guys are going to be doing to commemorate the occasion on Friday.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u200b<\/strong>AF:<\/strong> Yeah, \u200bwe have some surprises up our sleeve and we’re going to\u200b be celebrating the day.  Ultimately,\u200b I think \u200bit’ll come down to the music in the show.  I think we’re still trying to figure out exactly what things to \u200bdo and what little surprises and how to celebrate exactly, but it’s a joyous day for us\u200b.  It takes a long time, the whole process of making a record. I mean, we were in the studio a year ago making the record really\u200b.  We leaked out a few of the singles and \u200beven this week, we’re going to start playing them all\u200b live.  We usually wait for the album to come out but we’ve been playing the singles as they’ve been coming out. \u200bJust last night\u200b we \u200bactually put one other new song into the rotation\u200b, but once the record comes out, that’s when everything on the album \u200bcomes into the live repertoire and we’re really excited\u200b.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span>\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u200bt’s really amazing \u200bwhen you have \u200bthat chance to \u200bdebut one of your new songs live.  It’s kind of \u200blike when you’re a cook, and you get to \u200bserve your new dish and you actually get to watch somebody\u200b evaluating it and hopefully enjoying it (laughs).  \u200bThat’s a really interesting moment\u200b.  You’re biting your nails a little bit and you play it and wonder what the reaction might be. \u200b It’s kind of a cool thing to have that moment.  So come Friday, \u200bthat’s when everything will be available to \u200b\u200bpotentially be on a set list.  All of our shows are different, you know, \u200bevery night is a different set list\u200b so we’re not going to play all the songs on Friday night I wouldn’t think, but some of them will definitely be there and they’ll definitely be some new material. \u200b<\/p>\n

We love playing in D.C, we’ve been going there for many years and \u200bwe just love it so we’re really excited that that’s where we’ll be able to celebrate the new release.<\/p>\n

KM: You guys are a very strong improv band.  You can, it seems like,  just throw anything out there and it works. How is that?  It’s grown and changed and morphed over the years for sure.   You can’t really practice improv so how do you build on that and continues to make us, as an audience, think, “Wow, how the hell did they just do that?”<\/strong><\/p>\n

AF:<\/strong> By listening to each other very closely and understanding that the sum of all the parts is great.  Having everybody – that’s when there are some of the most interesting jams.  Everything’s sort of intertwined musically and there’s a conversation happening, underlying on some sort of bed of soundscape.  The sky’s the limit on variations of that.  It’s like having any conversation with people that you are really close with.  Like having a conversation with your best friend and getting coffee, there’s no end to the conversations you could have.  That’s kind of how it is with those improvs, it’s improvised what we call the type two sort of jams.  We don’t really know what’s going to happen and it’s the full band, as opposed to like other types of jams, where there’s one dedicated soloist, right?  That’s kind of different.  That’s more of a solo that can build and it is a jam, but it’s a different thing than the group, where everybody is incorporated and throwing out little phrases and then being answered and everything is kind of a reaction to what’s going on.  <\/p>\n

I think those are \u200breally something that we consciously started to kind of develop in the last few years because we started to realize that that was \u200bgrowing into something that was interesting to us and so we just kept exploring it and we continue to. \u200b<\/p>\n

KM: We’ve also seen a lot of collaborations from you guys.  I remember \u200bback at Lockn and you guys did set with Lesh right?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span>\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

AF: <\/strong>Yeah, that was\u200b really a highlight \u200bcollaboration.<\/p>\n

KM: I’ve also seen you on stage at Delfest with \u200bDel or the \u200bTravelin McCourys maybe?<\/strong><\/p>\n

AF:<\/strong> Yeah absolutely.\u200b  Before they had Cody (Kilby)<\/strong> full time I used to go do tours with the Traveling \u200bMcCourys<\/strong> and \u200bI played with them many, many times\u200b which is amazing for me because \u200bwhen I was learning how to play rhythm guitar I used to watch the Del McCoury<\/strong>Band<\/strong> and watch Del and what he was doing\u200b.  Over the years they’ve become really dear friends so obviously getting the opportunity to \u200bthen be in that slot\u200b and be in that position playing \u200bwith them was an honor and it was just \u200bso much fun. \u200b Now they have Cody who \u200bis, to me, one of the greatest\u200b flat pickers in the world \u200bwithout a doubt.  We love those guys so much and they won the Grammy this year, we were so happy for them.<\/p>\n

KM: Yeah they are really stand up guys.  I’ve gotten to interview Rob and Ronnie (McCoury) and they are just so nice. \u200bOk, so I just also kind of want to touch on a couple other things.  I really dig y’alls artwork for your covers.\u200b The Laws of Gravity <\/em>artwork was incredible and the\u200b almost\u200b geometric watercolors you guys have in \u200bthe\u200b Rise Sun<\/em> background are beautiful. How much are you guys involved in and is there an idea of who’s going to do your artwork for your covers?  <\/strong><\/p>\n

AF<\/strong>: We \u200bhad the same person \u200bdo Ladies and Gentlemen<\/em> and Laws of Gravity<\/em>, because this guy Scott does these really cool, \u200b actually \u200bminiature sets that he photographs, and then does\u200b art with them as well, it’s a really interesting concept. \u200bOften times, we get\u200b some ideas\u200b from our team or general ideas from the band\u200b, but it all starts with throwing stuff against the wall and seeing what sticks and then\u200b ideas start to emerge. \u200b \u200b Our team gets us some options and some good artists and w\u200be choose somebody and then we’re off and running and that’s kind of how it goes. \u200b We all get to see the stuff and we get to give our comments and\u200b then it gets refined and \u200bthen at the end\u200b everybody’s pretty happy with it, you know?<\/p>\n

KM: The band has been out on tour and you’ve got quite a bit of dates lined up already for summer.  You’re back here in D.C.\u200b and then, we talked about Phil Lesh, I saw you guys get to do Red Rocks with him and Terrapin Station, that’s going to be amazing! <\/strong><\/p>\n

AF: <\/strong>Oh, yeah, that’s going to be\u200b so much fun. We love Phil, obviously a huge influence, but also has become a friend, a good friend of ours over the years. \u200b It’s just\u200b amazing to actually get \u200bto have gotten to know him after so many years of the musical influence that he’s had on all of us. \u200b He’s incredible.  \u200b To this day, he’s still so inspiring.  Giving it 110% every show and it’s really an inspiration, so we look up to him a lot. <\/p>\n

KM: \u200bAlso a bunch of \u200bfestivals.  I see 4848\u200b, Peach Fest, \u200byou guys are going to be at Northwest String Summit and Blue Ox. \u200b Is there a, if not a favorite festival, a favorite festival memory?<\/strong><\/p>\n

AF:<\/strong> \u200bI mean, there’s so many but I would say that Lockn set with Phil and Friends<\/strong> and the Stringdusters.   Derek and Susan\u200b (Tedeschi)<\/strong> were up there for a bit, Anders Osborne<\/strong>, I mean, that was that was pretty special set. \u200b I went to my first (Grateful) Dead<\/strong> show in 1986\u200b and saw them many times with Jerry, of course\u200b so, you know, \u200bwe all were pretty stoked up there.\u200b Anders\u200b is a hero of mine\u200b back to my blues days and I loved his records and still do. \u200bAnd of course, Derek and Susan.  So having the opportunity to do that set was just really a magical thing and\u200b that’s all I can say about that.\u200b<\/p>\n

KM: The version of Sugaree that came out of that set is pure bliss and I listen to it over and over again! So, wrapping up, let’s just maybe talk about the last single that came out “Truth and Love”. \u200b It has, when I listened to it, almost, in the very beginning, \u200blike a trippy, space, time travel type vibe to it. Is there anything to that? Or is that just me?<\/strong><\/p>\n

AF:<\/strong> (laughs) Well, you’ll have to hear the record. There is something to that and when the record comes out you’ll see more of what I mean.<\/p>\n
