The Bone Reader – Post-Monolithic: An Interview With Greg Anderson of Sunn O)))

The Bone Reader recently conducted an interview with Greg Anderson of Sunn O))) and Goatsnake-fame, and it features in-depth questions focusing on side projects, skeletons in the closet, the inspiration of jazz music, the influence of Earth and Dylan Carlson, Southern Lord, Sunn O))) and much more.

TBR: Are you currently working on any side-projects that you’d like to share? New Burial Chamber Trio or Goatsnake coming in 2011?

GA O))): No, unfortunately. It’s tough with everything that I’ve got on my plate with the label and having a family and then playing a little music here and there with Sunn O))) and a few dates with Goatsnake.

What are we going to play?

There was a lot of work and time that went into that so as far as anything new, the answers is unfortunately no, there’s nothing new. No new Goatsnake, unfortunately – haven’t really had time to work on that.

After “Monoliths”, there was just so much time and energy that went into that record it was really exhausting and afterwards, I felt like we really jut needed to take a break from making music in the studio and that’s what we’ve done. We haven’t been in the studio since January of 2009 with Sunn O))) so we’re still just talking about it.
