About this episode

Buck Meek discusses his music, the creative process behind his album 'The Mirror', and themes of memory and emotion.

Buck Meek is my guest on this episode of That’s How I Remember It. Buck is, of course, a member of the incredible Big Thief band. He also makes excellent solo records including the recently released one titled The Mirror. We talked about making that record as well as sense memory, feedback loops, icehouses, influential guitar teachers, the connection between grief and love, and trusting songs. This was a great talk with an incredible musician, really pleased to have Buck on the pod. Listen and subscribe!
