PhoenixNewTimes.com have just posted a Jon Spencer Blues Explosion interview and The Salt Lake Tribune feature two short mentions in their Urban Lounge show preview (14 June 2013) and spotlight sections.

“We felt awfully good playing again after the break and that good feeling definitely stuck with us and pervaded the recording sessions. It was a pretty easy record to make. Nothing like any bad vibes or in-fighting or anything like that. I definitely think that since we’ve come back from the hiatus, my sense is that we cherish the work that we do a lot more.” – phoenixnewtimes.com

“…Jon Spencer first visited Utah as a child when his family moved from the East Coast to Palo Alto, Calif. so that his father could take a sabbatical and teach a course at Stanford University.

On the way, the family car got into a wreck as they were just about to go through Salt Lake City, so the family all went skiing for a week to get over the traumatic experience.” – sltrib.com

I was reading about how when you guys write stuff you just get together and start playing, and there’s not a whole lot of discussion, right?
We’ve always written by playing, and “jamming” is a word that I’m not a big fan of, but that’s what is when we get together and play. No, we never really talk and say, “Well, lets do something in the style of Otis Redding,” or this or that artist, or that song. You know, we just play. And of course we do have our influences, and that motivates us and influences how we play and the kind of songs we write.”

“Je pense que Meat & Bone est plus direct et représente plus notre musique en live. Mais beaucoup de nos albums le sont aussi. Maintenant on a fait quelques albums un peu plus expérimentaux comme Damage ou ACME. Meat & Bone représente plus un groupe qui joue ensemble, une sorte de grosse jam. En fait il représente ce qu’on avait envie de faire après notre pause de plusieurs années.”
