    Jay Ferguson and Chris Murphy from Sloan return to discuss their album, Based on the Bestseller, how their own bandmates inspire them to write better songs, why Chris’ “Open Your Umbrellas” reminds me of Dick Van Dyke and how Jay’s “Capitol Cooler” has its own whimsical yet pointed motif, connecting music, books, and movies, trying to have a fun album rollout, a funny observation about Chris by Mike O’Neill, writing topical songs, being an active band that some associate with the distant past, whether Sloan would be as big as Geese if this was their first album, touring, other future plans, and much more.EVERY OTHER COMPLETE KREATIVE KONTROL EPISODE IS ONLY ACCESSIBLE TO PATREON SUPPORTERS STARTING AT $6/MONTH.

    Nov 6 2025

    Carla and Lynette Gillis from Overnight are here to discuss their new album, Put Me In Your Light, being so close, they’ve followed each other around North America, loving fashion and heavy metal, whether or not the androgyny of hair metal was more subversive than we tend to think, escapism and separation anxiety, loss, grief, and therapy, the surprising resonance of their old band Plumtree’s song “Scott Pilgrim” well after it inspired a graphic novel and major film, working with the great producer Charles Austin, the comprehensive Gillis Music Archive on Bandcamp, a hometown release show in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, other future plans, and more.
