Ep. #1157: Oren Ambarchi

Oren Ambarchi returns to discuss Cooked, the nine-month shipping boat trip his record collection took to get to him, politics in Germany, some recording in Japan with Jim O’Rourke and Eiko Ishibashi, a surprising David Crosby inspiration, exploring 12-string guitar, an eerie synthesized voice that appears on this album, a nod to Pavement, film noir and whistling, the large number of people who contributed to this record and contemplating more minimal approaches, a new album, other future plans, and much more.
