The first track is filled with everything that makes them great. It\u2019s a showcase of soft\/loud dynamics, building from a restrained intro into an explosive wall of sound that kicks in about halfway through. Coupled with the plain spoken obtuseness of singer and guitarist Leah Wellbaum\u2019s lyrics, \u201cDouble Down\u201d is the best song Dinosaur Jr. never recorded.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"689\" height=\"388\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/31gBizKYAnc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; encrypted-media\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>And while the band certainly does owe a lot to J Mascis, Wellbaum\u2019s influence comes from more curious places. When asked if there were any individual guitar riffs that helped shape her playing, she says John Fahey\u2019s \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=PArNpC1oJ6Q\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sunflower River Blues<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJohn Fahey\u2019s a really famous folk guitarist, and he did a lot of work over a lot of decades,\u201d says Wellbaum. \u201cWith \u2018Sunflower River Blues,\u2019 he goes into a traditional fingerpicking style that I definitely emulate in \u2018Travel Bug.\u2019 It\u2019s a song that I recorded in my house, by myself, with a classical guitar.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"689\" height=\"388\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/B9_iA0ZjLcU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; encrypted-media\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Slothrust may be an alternative rock band by definition, but there\u2019s so much going on below the surface that they demand a closer look.<\/p>\n<p>Ahead of their High Noon Saloon appearance, I recently caught up with Wellbaum to talk about the making of <em>The Pact<\/em> and embracing your inner child, plus a surprise appearance by (ugh) President Trump.<span class=\"\" style=\"display:block;clear:both;height: 0px;padding-top: 30px;border-top-width:0px;border-bottom-width:0px;\"><\/span>\n<p><strong>I know you and your bandmates all have had classical training at some point. How much of that actually goes into Slothrust?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I think it just depends on the song you\u2019re talking about. I think \u201cTravel Bug\u201d comes from that type of background for sure. And there was a song on our previous record (2016\u2019s <em>Everyone Else<\/em>) that quoted a melodic line in \u201cBlack Orpheus,\u201d so you can kind of find things like that throughout. We definitely love mixed-meter stuff and to play around with time signature, slowing up and speeding down \u2014 no, not speeding down. <em>(laughs)<\/em> I\u2019m like opposite today. But speeding up and slowing down, that sort of thing. We like music that keeps you guessing and sort of keeps listeners paying attention because they don\u2019t know what\u2019s going to happen next.<\/p>\n<p><strong>You seem to play around a lot with dynamics, so I imagine coming from jazz or blues would help to keep you from beating the crap out of your instruments.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Improvisation with music forces you to listen to the other players you\u2019re working with, which keeps you engaged in the present moment, which is something that we think is really important for all of us.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A lot of your lyrics are really funny. How do you filter that out to avoid just making the songs outright comedy?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I definitely think that I gravitate toward a dark humor intuitively. It\u2019s how I\u2019ve always been in writing. My approach to writing is to not censor myself and to put everything out there, see what shakes out, and then go back and edit afterward. I think some of the funniest stuff comes from ideas you think would <em>not<\/em> work initially. You know, over the top or too extreme. But then you put it in the right context and suddenly you\u2019re communicating exactly what you want to.<\/p>\n<p><strong>You\u2019ve said you like to write from the perspective of childhood as a sort of <\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.onestowatch.com\/blog\/tables-turned-leah-wellbaum-of-slothrust-shares\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>filter for adulthood<\/strong><\/a><strong>. It makes Slothrust a combination of being loud, smart *and* nostalgic. Like post-adolescence almost.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I like that. I think there\u2019s a sense of wonder you have as a child, and a sense of curiosity. That\u2019s something that starts to fade out as you get older, and you start to deal with the realities of what it means to be a high-functioning person. So I like to tune back into times where you feel curious about the world, and where colors feel particularly saturated and textures feel new. And I think creating all types of art with that curiosity can make for compelling work.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2018The Pact\u2019 is a lot sharper than your previous work. How did you approach the slicker production without losing your music\u2019s more ragged edge?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We worked with a really great producer on this record, Billy Bush. He has great ears. He\u2019s definitely the most experienced and talented mixing engineer that we\u2019ve worked with. He was able to figure out ways to make our music super clear and have all the parts feel really defined. We also had someone amazing master this album, Heba Kadry. She did a great job making sure the mixes stayed really open. All the records we\u2019ve done in the past, we ended up producing ourselves. So getting a different pair of ears on it was really great.<\/p>\n<p><strong>You self-produced everything before \u2018The Pact\u2019?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Actually, no. Our first album was produced by this guy Joe Saliba in Boston, but the past two albums we released were self-produced and made very quickly. And we worked with some amazing people on those as well, for sure. But everyone working on them was under a lot of pressure and a lot of time constraints. So this album gave us a chance to really take more space with the material when necessary and dig back in.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Was there any adjustment for you guys from pretty much working on your own for two albums to having another voice in the room again?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>You know, Billy was great because he\u2019s not controlling or overbearing. He takes up a really appropriate amount of space as a producer, which I think is really hard to do. And for us, he was the right balance. He was all about us coming to the right conclusions instead of messing with things. He\u2019s not an ego player, and none of us are ego players either, so I think it was a really nice combination.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"689\" height=\"388\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/rbutTA0fBG4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; encrypted-media\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong>Do you have any specific songs from that album that you really enjoying playing live yet, or are you still figuring out their space, too?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve been playing \u201cOn My Mind\u201d live with just Kyle (Bann, bass) playing piano and Will (Gorin, drums) doing like a stripped-down kit thing, and I\u2019m <em>just <\/em>singing. Which is really fun to do live, because I\u2019ve never done that before. I\u2019m always playing guitar. It\u2019s interesting to have a moment in the concert that\u2019s less loud. And that is more intimate.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Have you done that a lot before in the past, or are you still adjusting to being sans guitar?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I come from a musical theatre background and I\u2019ve kind of gone in and out of only singing on stage as opposed to having an instrument, but I\u2019ve definitely gotten used to having an instrument in the past few years.<\/p>\n<p><strong>It seems like there are <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.huffingtonpost.com\/reilly-wieland\/rozwell-kid-talks-growing_b_8763402.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>a few people<\/strong><\/a><strong> in punk-adjacent music that come from musical theatre. How does that inform you as a perform? The two genres seem at odds with each other.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I feel like I did not embrace that as much on the past couple of albums because I was more interested in austerity, and making music that was loud and heavy. Now I\u2019m working to occupy a space that could be all of those things at the same time and also has an element of theatre to it, because that makes for the most dynamic show. The music that I enjoy the most has a lot of dynamics and a lot of range to it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Do you want to approach more songs in the future like you did dialing back \u201cOn My Mind\u201d?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I think I\u2019m definitely into doing more material. We\u2019ve been doing acoustic stuff with this material that\u2019s going really well. It\u2019s neat that it translates well at a lower volume. That\u2019s definitely really exciting to me because I don\u2019t want to have to be loud all the time. It\u2019s great to be loud if you\u2019re doing it with intention and you\u2019re doing it in a way that feels powerful, but I\u2019ve also heard a lot of loud music in my time that\u2019s loud just for the sake of being loud. It\u2019s fun for the artist, but it\u2019s not actually doing something new or interesting. Obviously I like being loud too, but there\u2019s an interesting balance that can be struck when you juxtapose that with really quiet moments.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>(At this point, both of us get the \u201cPresidential Alert\u201d test text simultaneously.)<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Sorry, I just got a text.
