Ty Segall is here (at last!) to discuss Possession, the vibe lights in his recording studio, how the late Steve Albini gave him great advice about studio design and construction and the time they recorded themselves smashing a toilet, starting songs off on the drums and reflecting upon click tracks, demoitis, and studio trickery, connections between his three recent records, his singing voice and writing songs with filmmaker Matt Yoka, the Guns ‘n’ Roses song “Paradise City” and Drag City album bios, working on a soccer stadium riff, future plans, and much more. This episode is dedicated to Steve Albini.

Between August 1 and 3, 2025 in Sackville, New Brunswick, Sappyfest celebrates its twentieth anniversary as one of the world’s best programmed and most fun music and arts festivals. Back in the summer of 2011 just ahead of the sixth annual Sappyfest, I met Julie Doiron and three of her children at Grapefruit Moon for an interview over breakfast. Aside from her inspirational work in the band Eric’s Trip and her award-winning solo trajectory, Julie founded Sappy Records and co-organized early iterations of Sappyfest. And so, I’m sharing this 2011 encounter with Julie and most of her kids (plus a cameo by Rheostatics’ Dave Bidini), because it’s enjoyable and provides some insights about her music and Sappyfest.

To hear this entire conversation, subscribe to Kreative Kontrol on Patreon at the $6 tier or higher (a reminder that an annual subscription includes a discount compared to a monthly one).
