About this episode
Will Wiesenfeld discusses his expanded reissue of Cerulean R and the complexities of revisiting past work.
On this episode of Absent Sounds, Will Wiesenfeld (Baths) sat across from us at a coffee shop in Toronto, hours before his show at Lee's Palace. We talked about Cerulean R, his expanded reissue of the 2010 debut that launched his career, in full. What makes Cerulean R different from most reissues is its integrity to that era: every piece of it, from the unreleased tracks, the remixes, the demos, reflects the 2009–2011 window in which the original was made. A true time capsule. We talked about what it means to revisit a record you no longer feel like yourself in, the one-to-one relationship between artist and listener, learning to leave songs unnamed so they stay open, and why "the better you are at something, the harder it gets." Also: the perfect touring top, eucalyptus oil in an Uber, and closing a chapter you didn't know needed closing. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
