124: Desert Noises
from New Slang Hosted by Thomas Mooney, Desert Noises, Kyle Henderson
Send us Fan Mail On Episode 124, I'm joined by Kyle Henderson, the lead vocalist and chief lyricist for Desert Noises. The Nashville by way of Provo, Utah trio released the excellent album Everything Always a little more than a month ago. The album, the band's first since 2014's 27 Ways, sees them working with Bill Reynolds (formally of Band of Horses) at the producing helm. Reynolds, who became a quick co-writing partner with Henderson, was paramount in helping the indie-rock and Americana band expand and really embrace a sonic soundscape that was both vibrantly rich, yet filled with space and a stark mood. They create a bold depth throughout that feels right at home amongst post-rock bands such as Explosions in the Sky--the album ender "Windows Down" would have most certainly been a scene-stealer in Friday Night Lights. The warm accents and steely drums of "Coffee" and Henderson's hauntingly eerie vocals lead the charge on "American Skin." During this interview, we talk about working with Bill Reynolds, recording Everything Always after the band's six-year hiatus, our favorite bands & albums of the mid-2000s (Radiohead, My Morning Jacket, etc), embracing open space to create monolithic soundscapes, navigating 2020, and growing up in Utah. This episode's presenting partner is Desert Door Texas Sotol and The Blue Light Live.
