Pitchfork: Girl Talk Dishes on New LP
Pitchfork: Girl Talk Dishes on New LP
hype.After hundreds of increasingly insane (and inflatable dolphin-filled) shows over the past four years, pop collage mastermind Girl Talk aka Gregg Gillis took a break this summer to work on his follow-up to 2008's ecstatic Feed the Animals. Five months and many 12-hour days of production later, he's just about ready to drop his latest sample-based opus. In a recent interview, Gillis told us he wants to release the as-yet-untitled album-- his longest and most complex yet-- by the end of the year.
To me, amping things up doesn't mean cramming in more samples as much as it means making things more dynamic and expressing more patience and being more detailed than before. I wanted to put in more little breather-room elements. It's definitely in the same ballpark as Feed the Animals, but the production's more complex and there's more of a variety in the source material. I'm trying to make something that's really, really complicated and has material that jumps around as far as possible in genre and style but, when you ultimately listen to it, it sounds like one cohesive piece of music. Also, this album is going to be the longest one I've done yet, like 65-plus minutes.
