0:17

a quick note, this podcast contains

0:19

explicit language. So,

0:22

Raina Doris, some weeks when we're

0:24

talking about the biggest albums that

0:26

are coming out, we find ourselves

0:28

talking about a lot of new

0:30

artists, new sounds, the next big

0:32

thing, whatever, and we have to do a lot of

0:35

explanation of who these people are. This

0:37

week, in some ways, a lot of

0:39

these titles are like

0:42

the biggest bands of 2009. Yeah,

0:45

we've got some heavy hitters from the early

0:47

aughts that are happening here, or late

0:49

aughts, I guess. Yeah, I

0:52

feel like this is one of those cases

0:54

where my next guest needs no introduction, actually,

0:56

kind of a box. Well,

1:01

I am so glad you're here. For

1:03

those who don't know Raina, Raina is

1:06

the host of World Cafe on WXPN

1:08

and public radio stations all across the

1:10

country. She's fantastic,

1:13

and we're so excited to have you here.

1:15

Thank you so much. I'm happy to be here. I

1:18

hate to bring people down from Raina Doris, but

1:20

I'm Steven Thompson from NPR Music.

1:22

You've probably heard me on this show

1:24

before. It is New Music Friday from

1:26

NPR Music and All Songs Considered. We

1:28

are talking about some of the best

1:31

new albums out today, April 5th, including

1:33

new albums from Vampire Weekend, Katie Pruitt,

1:36

Crunbin. Speaking of veteran artists who've been

1:38

around for ages, we're going to kick

1:40

the show off with a new album

1:43

by The Black Keys. It's called Ohio

1:45

Players, and this song is Please Me

1:47

Till I'm Satisfied. Thanks

1:49

for watching. I'm

2:00

not afraid. I'm

2:03

not afraid. I'm

2:07

not afraid. But

2:10

I'm on the cool

2:13

road now. I

2:16

know you're on the cool

2:18

road now. I know

2:20

you're on the cool road now. I

2:25

think I need to hold

2:28

you on

2:31

me. Please, please,

2:33

please, please, please,

2:35

please, please, please,

2:37

please. That

2:40

song, I think, sounds like the

2:43

Black Keys that you know with En-Luh. But it

2:45

gets a lot weirder on this record. I think,

2:47

though, just before we go into it, Twelfth Album,

2:49

this band is more than two decades in, they've

2:52

released a lot of music, and

2:54

I think it's just nice that they're still having fun. They

2:57

really clearly are having fun. Yeah,

3:00

I think that's sort of been the Black Keys MO from

3:02

the beginning. And it's funny you

3:04

said Twelfth Album. I'm not even sure how to

3:06

count their records. Yeah. Because they

3:08

have, you know, they'll do these side

3:10

projects, and, you know, Dan Auerbach is

3:12

all over the place, Patrick

3:14

Carney pops up all over the place.

3:17

They do stuff individually and separately and

3:19

together. And this record for

3:21

me is just like, it's not straight

3:23

down the middle, as you said. There is

3:25

some experimentation and some strangeness on this record.

3:27

But, man, they know how to

3:30

kick off a song in an auspicious

3:32

way. If you

3:34

want music for your movie soundtrack,

3:36

your commercial, your big day out,

3:39

they are your band. I would like to

3:42

see the ledger that tells us how much the Black Keys

3:44

is made off of commercials and movie trailers. That

3:46

would be... Probably enough. Yeah,

3:49

but I mean, I think you hear on this

3:51

record, they're at this stage where they're well known

3:53

enough, they're comfortable enough, that they can just like

3:55

invite a bunch of friends over and play

3:58

music, and they end up with an album. That

4:00

is like it's a good album that you can release

4:02

out into the world just like hanging out with their

4:04

friends Which I think is a that's a nice place

4:06

to be I feel like that's a really probably a

4:09

very comfortable place to be if you're a Band there's

4:11

such students of rock They

4:13

get described as like a blues rock band

4:16

a garage rock band. They have

4:18

clearly Studied their

4:20

favorite music their favorite rock and roll

4:22

their favorite soul their favorite blues music,

4:24

which is always heavily Influenced

4:26

their sound there's like a historical

4:28

literacy. Oh, yeah to what

4:31

they do But at the

4:33

same time like they're also in their

4:35

own ways. They can be maximalists They

4:37

can really just like give you a

4:39

fired up Stadium friendly

4:41

anthem. I mean it's remarkable for people who

4:44

follow the trajectory of this band You

4:46

know, they they came up as kind of

4:48

a scrappy garage rock band and eventually ended

4:51

up playing stadiums Yeah, and I

4:53

mean before their last album drop a

4:55

boogie They had a hill country blues

4:57

song cover album called Delta cream So

4:59

they really are like you say students

5:01

of rock and students of the blues

5:04

and this album They said

5:06

that it's it's all over the place

5:08

genre wise because they were thinking about

5:11

old record party DJ Nights they would do

5:13

where they would pick out their record to just

5:15

play stuff they like So while they might

5:17

be students of sort of rock There's

5:20

actually a whole lot more That's going on

5:22

in there and a whole bunch more background

5:24

that they're kind of picking and choosing from

5:26

for this record Yeah I

5:28

mean anybody who knows a lot of Musicians

5:31

will tell you that musicians are obsessive nerds

5:33

and these guys are Music nerds,

5:36

but you know, we kind of alluded to

5:38

the kind of mix of sounds on this

5:40

record I wanted to have us play a

5:42

little bit of the song Cooper

5:44

crown I

5:54

Go down Hey,

5:58

my neck feel new I

6:00

got a lot of I make a

6:03

big bar one up on

6:08

the on

6:12

on on

6:16

on on

6:20

on on

6:24

on on on

6:30

on on

6:34

like I

6:36

don't necessarily think of like rap

6:38

breaks in Black

6:40

Keys Records Juicy J and Black

6:42

Keys is not a thing I thought I would ever see on the

6:44

same album credits line a

6:46

hu k, ha ha, ha and

6:50

I mean lead vocals on that track from Beck as

6:52

well its a collision

6:54

of all of these different big names and if you paid

6:56

me a hundred bucks to come up with three artists I

6:58

thought would end up on the same track together

7:00

I would have never ever ever gotten

7:04

to that place so its really

7:06

cool Juicy J actually I think shows up on two

7:08

tracks on this record its an

7:10

interesting collision of sounds but you know

7:12

its funny it doesn't necessarily sound wildly

7:14

disjointed no that's what's so surprising it

7:17

actually works in a

7:19

strange way yeah, do you have other favorite songs

7:21

on this record? yeah, On

7:24

the Game is another they

7:26

go in another direction completely On

7:29

the Game has Noah Gallagher on

7:31

it lets listen to that I

7:54

feel lonely Everything.

8:26

So there's a guitar solo. An office is

8:28

Oliver and I Love Says. Apparently they sat

8:30

in a big circle. With their instruments

8:32

and they just. With

8:35

November and they ended up with sounds

8:37

like what would happen if you ran

8:39

away says through a black and silver

8:41

or the other. Eye

8:44

Candy and her friend. Ah! I.

9:20

Once I also has little noise and

9:22

Juicy J on. It. But

9:25

it's just it's just a little bit. Darker.

9:28

Than a normal like easily just sort

9:30

of us. something that I haven't really

9:32

heard them. Do. Before. It's.

9:35

Wild how the black keys on

9:37

paper. Or. Made up of

9:39

kind of the simplest possible elements,

9:41

right? you know? just like two

9:44

guys, big drums, guitar and yet

9:46

over the course of like a

9:48

dozen albums and really like we

9:51

have not even gotten into this

9:53

that many many side projects. long

9:56

the words and the many collaboration,

9:58

some productions and everything. That

10:00

how how much like

10:02

versatility has kind of

10:05

sit within. This is

10:07

very seemingly simple. Some.

10:09

Yeah. Yeah, I mean it's they've

10:11

been around for like say Epitaph. They've been

10:13

around for all of that two decades now

10:16

and during that time it's like they've more

10:18

of that all these different ways that the

10:20

core of it still kind of stays the

10:22

same. And you can hear that even when

10:24

they gonna go off track on this album

10:27

it's still you know Dan and Pat in

10:29

the middle of it all like conductors into

10:31

this is is is. Or to serve different

10:33

sounds. With

10:39

the Black Keys their new album

10:41

is Ohio Players But School A

10:44

Vampire Weekend Vampire Weekend first album

10:46

in five years is called Only

10:48

God was Above Us The Saunders

10:51

class. When

11:26

you say first album in five

11:28

years my first thought is. It's.

11:31

Only been five years that at the

11:33

same time. It feels

11:35

like it feels like Sarah. Semi.

11:38

The Regatta Emily, How much as half of

11:40

all ten dollar us who had some So

11:42

much. As and and and I

11:44

think that the this is a

11:47

band that I feel like a

11:49

soundtrack personally like many sort. Of

11:51

arrows of my own life. And

11:54

when they came back I was very excited to

11:57

get his records. and it does at least personally

11:59

it feels like. Meet me where I

12:01

am in that it's new has

12:03

you know as a cane a

12:05

It's very melodic, clean, fresh presenting

12:07

vocals. but the rest of it.

12:10

Is. A lot more discordant. it's

12:12

a lot heavier feeling your

12:14

raises. the music. It's

12:17

like it's been five years and something's

12:19

on. This. Yeah, I mean,

12:21

it's funny, you just my notes

12:23

rosier how? I guess I have

12:25

dissonance instead of discordance, but I

12:28

was struck right away listening to

12:30

this record. You do alluded to

12:32

the smoothness in Vampire Weekend sound

12:34

that's been a kind of a

12:36

constant throughout these the five albums

12:38

that they've put out since Two

12:40

Thousand and Eight Arm, but there's

12:43

and really starring kind of slipped.

12:45

Everything feels like it's been rinsed

12:47

twenty degrees off kilter on this

12:49

record. In. Ways that that are

12:51

really that A really compelling. Yes,

12:53

I am I saying I think

12:55

a Citizen Maya the spring albums

12:58

preview for all his eyes consider

13:00

that Us: It's sorta sounds like

13:02

these clean cut. College boys like

13:04

when into a case or five years and they're

13:06

still. wearing this letters or other shoulders. But

13:08

they all have like stuff holes and else

13:10

a also suffer as and die as a

13:12

seen this i'm saying is like it's like

13:14

on a little haunted feeling. Well.

13:17

And we talk about meeting this where we are. Is

13:20

that exactly I was so much

13:22

younger? Five years ago says. Yes

13:24

I mean really here at I

13:26

think on Capricorn the contrast between

13:28

as Was Boys and like Be

13:31

Arrangements see it's almost. It's has

13:33

its weight like it's like lumbering

13:35

the the music like is taking

13:37

these heavy steps that a nice

13:39

don't as are singing on top.

14:32

Yeah, that's a really

14:34

good one. Another

14:38

one that jumped out at

14:40

me is Kamek, which

14:48

is a song that really takes a

14:51

wild, frantic journey. It's

14:53

weird to even see the movie. Yeah,

15:23

there's a lot happening there. Also,

15:52

I guess we should mention a few

15:54

years ago, I guess 2016, so before their

15:56

last album, Rossdom, who's a producer at

15:59

a multi-instrumental company. in the band, he's been in the

16:01

band since the beginning. He left the group, but

16:04

they're still friends, and he came back for a song on

16:06

his album. And when I listened to it through the first

16:08

time, this was immediately one of my

16:10

favorites, the surfer. It's

16:13

so spacey, it is so weird.

16:15

Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

16:21

Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

16:32

Mm-hmm. Oh,

16:50

yeah, I think in Ross de Monta's group.

16:53

I had this fear because he

16:55

is such an inventive artist and

16:58

has done so much really

17:00

creative work on other people's stuff and

17:02

as a solo artist. I

17:04

was afraid that there would be this

17:06

kind of streamlining of

17:08

Vampire Weekend sound, or that something

17:10

would be lost. And I don't

17:12

feel like that's actually what's

17:15

happened. And if anything, this record

17:17

feels a little bit frantic in

17:19

kind of a liberated way, where,

17:22

like you said, they're different guys. Mm-hmm.

17:25

When they came up, they had

17:27

this preppy, Ivy League, perfectionist vibe.

17:29

And I think a lot of

17:32

that craft is still very, very,

17:35

very much present. For sure. But

17:38

our lives get messier as we get

17:40

older. And in

17:42

some ways, we change, we hopefully

17:44

become better over time, we hopefully

17:47

grow up. But we also kind

17:49

of ache to try new things. And I think that

17:51

feeling kind of comes through on this record.

17:53

Yeah, the core of you is still

17:55

there, but you change and gain more

17:57

depth and gain more weird quirks. And

18:00

it's like, yes, listening to

18:03

this record is like growing up. But

18:07

good. Yeah, but good. All

18:18

right, that's Vampire Weekend. Their new album

18:20

is called Only God Was Above Us.

18:23

We're going to take a quick break,

18:25

but we'll have more new albums when

18:27

we get back. Support

20:02

we're back. I'm Steven Thompson from NPR

20:04

Music here with Raina Doris from WXPN

20:06

and World Cafe. We're talking

20:09

about some of the best new albums out today,

20:11

April 5th. Next up

20:13

is a wonderful singer-songwriter. I loved

20:15

her first album. I love this record.

20:17

It's Katie Pruitt. The album is called

20:19

Mantras. And let's hear a little

20:22

bit of the song, All My Friends. All

21:05

my friends,

21:09

all my

21:12

friends, all

21:16

my friends. So

21:21

Katie released her debut Expectations in 2020.

21:24

Kind of like Vampire Weekend, who we were talking about

21:26

earlier. Like the time between

21:29

that and this record feels like

21:31

it's very bendy. I

21:34

feel like it's been somewhere between two and eight years

21:36

since her last album. Yeah, something in there. I

21:38

mean, I feel like Katie... I was kind of

21:40

almost surprised when I was reading

21:42

up before this. Just that

21:45

it's only her sophomore record. It's only her second record. I

21:48

feel like Katie's been around for so long now

21:50

and she's got this great reputation. And she's been

21:52

such a great songwriter that everyone knows who she

21:54

is. She only had this one record before that.

21:57

She says... I think she just turned

21:59

50. She's like late 20s,

22:01

early 30s, a time of grappling

22:04

with a lot of big questions, a lot of self-discovery.

22:06

And she said that she was doing

22:08

a lot of negative self-talk and she

22:11

went into therapy and led to her

22:13

writing down motivations and positive encouragement that

22:15

you would do like mantras in

22:17

the mirror, which is why it's

22:20

called mantras. And you can

22:22

hear that all throughout this album that

22:24

she's taking on the questions that you've

22:26

kind of asked yourself as you're transitioning

22:28

from your 20s into your 30s

22:31

and figuring out who you are.

22:33

There are lots of songs where she

22:35

does that on here, but one that jumped out to

22:37

me right away was Naive again. She

22:40

came my way one

22:44

breath spring day. A

22:48

picnic bed, a

22:52

red bouquet. And

22:59

I

23:02

just,

23:09

you

23:16

know,

23:20

I'm kind of a sucker for when the music matches

23:22

up exactly to the musical content in a very

23:25

obvious way. And when she started playing

23:27

the glockenspiel on this, I was like, Naive, I

23:29

get it. But

23:33

yeah, it sort of, to me,

23:35

really kind of got to that idea of

23:37

growing up that you hear on this record. Yeah.

23:40

And it's interesting you talk about the

23:43

inspiration for this record being therapy

23:45

sessions and kind of grappling with

23:47

her life and herself. Her

23:50

first record expectations is very much about

23:52

that same sort of thing. She

23:55

grew up in the Atlanta suburbs

23:57

in a very conservative Catholic household.

24:00

her self is queer. And so that

24:03

first record is very much about

24:05

kind of wrangling with issues of

24:07

faith and identity, and

24:10

she does so in extremely compelling

24:12

and beautiful ways. This record, as

24:14

you say, Reina, you know, she's,

24:17

you know, it's the product of a

24:20

bunch of therapy, and it allows her,

24:22

I think, to dig even deeper into

24:24

some of those ideas. She's not introducing

24:26

herself anymore, but she's still wrangling with

24:29

issues of faith and identity and

24:31

culture and the South

24:33

and America. You know, there's a

24:35

track on this record called White

24:38

Lies, White Jesus, and You. And

24:41

like that title itself is like, okay. It's

24:44

a great title. And you talk about the

24:46

music matching the style of the lyrics. This

24:49

is a song where the lyrics live up

24:51

to the title. Waking

24:55

up in the middle

24:57

of the night The

25:01

sun you lost, are you in it?

25:06

Your dreams,

25:08

are you searching for

25:11

the seemingly suicide? Do

25:15

you need someone to tell

25:17

you what it means? Ever

25:23

say that Jesus gives

25:25

you peace with me?

25:29

That's a good little friend

25:32

of mine And

25:37

ever really have to get

25:39

some sleep at night I'd

25:44

kill for a little bit

25:47

of peace Yeah,

26:17

it's such a pretty song,

26:19

but it has heat in there.

26:23

I really love that. And you know,

26:25

I think this album, when I was listening to it,

26:27

I hadn't listened to the debut in a long time.

26:30

And I'd kind of forgotten how, you

26:32

know, kind of like a whole country,

26:34

Katie Prouette, can tell. Like, it's very

26:37

pop. It's very accessible.

26:40

And that makes the

26:43

subject matter even more compelling, I think,

26:45

sometimes, because you hear this

26:47

kind of music, you're sort of used to hearing

26:49

people saying about certain things, and

26:52

then you realize what she's saying. And that

26:55

contrast just makes it even more powerful.

27:21

I think the song Jealous of the Voice

27:23

is a very kind of commercial country ballad.

28:02

But it's about how it feels to

28:04

be a queer girl

28:06

in high school watching the girls that

28:08

you like date crappy guys who are

28:11

mean to them. And

28:13

it's a topic that when the

28:16

genders might be reversed or the

28:18

sexuality might be reversed or when

28:21

it might be a heterosexual person singing

28:23

about a heterosexual relationship, you'd

28:25

be like, ah, it's just the same kind

28:27

of song we've heard before, but in her hands

28:29

it becomes something very different and very interesting. Yeah,

28:32

I'm glad you're touching on the sound of

28:35

this record and kind of where she fits

28:37

into the roots Americana

28:39

country music landscape. Because one thing

28:41

that I really felt listening to

28:43

this record was kind

28:45

of a connection to like those

28:48

early Casey Musgraves records, which

28:50

managed to be like, and obviously

28:52

Casey Musgraves has existed kind of

28:55

parallel to the country music landscape.

28:57

She's occasionally crossed over into it,

28:59

but mostly kind of exists somewhat

29:02

separate from it while

29:04

still tapping into a lot

29:07

of the themes that most speak to

29:09

me within country music. And

29:11

listening to this record, I really felt this

29:14

like, oh God, I love that first Casey

29:16

Musgraves record. I

29:18

mean, I've loved her record since, but

29:20

like if you feel that itch wanting

29:22

early Casey Musgraves, you're going to get

29:25

that scratched listening to this record. We'll

29:28

talk about the sophomore slump. I think Katie's

29:30

done something really cool here where she's made

29:33

people just more excited to see what she's going

29:35

to do, like what she's going to keep doing.

29:37

Like there's growth and now, you know, what will

29:39

this, when we look back on this album, what

29:42

will we think? Like, will it be like an early Casey

29:44

Musgraves record? She feels fully

29:46

formed. I can't wait to hear more and I

29:48

can't wait to hear what she does next. Thank

29:58

you. That

30:03

is Katie Pruitt. Her new album is

30:05

called Mantras. Next

30:10

up, Crungbin. Crungbin's new album

30:12

is called A La Sala,

30:14

and this track is Pompon. The

30:34

song is called A La Sala, and this is a song

30:36

that is called A La Sala. There

31:12

are certain albums that you

31:15

put on, you know those days in the

31:17

summer where it's so humid that you can hear it? Humid

31:20

is a very good adjective for this music. It's

31:25

too hot and humid to move. I'm

31:28

just going to lie in a hammock album for

31:31

the rest of the summer. Very excited about that.

31:33

I guess for

31:36

some background, Crungbin,

31:39

they've been around for a while.

31:43

They're inspired by a

31:45

whole lot of different

31:48

kinds of music like African guitar, Thai

31:50

beats. Their name

31:52

is even the Thai word for airplane

31:54

in case people didn't know that. They

31:57

bring in a lot of influences.

32:00

It is and I V. One thing

32:02

I learned about them recently I thought

32:04

was really interesting is their fan base

32:06

has gotten bigger and bigger people does.

32:08

or. says. A lot of

32:11

the sun don't have words and people

32:13

just hung on. Oh wow, yeah, it's

32:15

the Us. So I I, I don't

32:17

know, I love I love this album!

32:19

I really really enjoyed listening to her

32:22

and I was surprised because I've been

32:24

is a Crimson before, but. It

32:27

isn't really publicity, I really get it.

32:40

Which were coming full circle and

32:42

this conversation started. This. And

32:46

music made by

32:48

people over. And

32:52

Com Boom is very much a

32:54

band made up of people who

32:56

smoke out over music and you

32:58

talked about how many influences there

33:00

are swept up in the sounds.

33:03

They are the sound of many

33:05

different countries. many different terrorists, many

33:07

different. Genres kind of swirled together

33:09

in this was breezy soul food,

33:12

obese psychedelic way. And it's so

33:14

interesting like that. They've gotten so

33:16

big that they've been embraced by

33:18

so many people. kind of Again,

33:21

like I was talking about with

33:23

the Black Keys were they managed

33:25

to take the garage and blow

33:27

it up to the size of

33:30

arenas. These these folks menace to

33:32

take the sound of your smoky

33:34

basements and make it agreeable to

33:37

like says. Like outdoor amphitheaters

33:39

and and they menace to

33:41

do that without necessarily revving

33:43

of the aggression and they're

33:45

not feeling the air like

33:47

with like any kind of

33:49

aggressive sounders. this to the

33:51

sweet, gentle sway and swirl

33:53

to their music and it's

33:55

so fun to hear that

33:57

embraced by huge audience. The

34:00

head for the hell them that they actually

34:02

pared back with the normally do and they

34:04

tried to go back to sort of the

34:07

simplicity of there was a really started out

34:09

with they recorded it in a. Barn.

34:12

With know why? Five? No. Cell reception

34:14

and they had nature sounds slumped

34:17

into their headphones. During the

34:19

entire recording of the record.

34:22

Which I don't think I've ever heard

34:24

of any other artist doing that, having

34:26

like crickets and birds playing in the

34:28

headphones while. You're Making Her album. So

34:31

that aren't necessarily going to be on the

34:33

records they are in their of I think

34:35

there's in some of the the final couple

34:37

of last the tracks. Of the record

34:39

there are me to sounds you can

34:41

hear ah but. I think when you

34:43

say that breezy when you say it's like

34:46

easy to listen to. That

34:48

you see by design. To be out

34:50

there is a group of friends that are or

34:52

what. I'm reading up on the spam. There's a

34:54

phrase that someone used to describe what. Was

34:58

that it possibly sound what's inside

35:00

of a lava lamp on my

35:02

son that I love. The man

35:04

I wish I had thought of

35:07

as his such perfect painting pictures

35:09

with words, description of what this

35:11

music sounds and feels. It

35:16

easy. I'm

35:52

ready for to! d. I.
