Spencer Tweedy spoke to Sharon Van Etten, Vagabon and more about self-recording for new book
Spencer Tweedy, the son of Wilco's Jeff Tweedy, has announced a new book about self-recording, and he spoke to musicians including Sharon Van Etten, Vagabon and more about their methods.
Jeff Tweedy's son and bandmate Spencer Tweedy has announced his new book Mirror Sound: A Look Into the People and Processes Behind Self-Recorded Music.
The book will explore the process of self-recording, and will include interviews with Sharon Van Etten, Vagabon, Mac DeMarco, Deerhunter’s Bradford Cox, Suzanne Ciani, and more.
Tweedy's forthcoming book will also feature a foreword penned by Sleater-Kinney's Carrie Brownstein.
According to Pitchfork, Tweedy said of his new book in a press release, "I had been thinking about musicians who self-record, and how their music often has this special sound that seems like it can only come from an artist working in their own space. I’d been self-recording since high school and I love the process so much, but I hadn’t seen many stories about it (even while ‘making-of’ things become more commonplace). So we started running around the country, interviewing and photographing artists who make records at home, on the road, in their bedrooms, in barns."
The Mirror Sound: A Look Into the People and Processes Behind Self-Recorded Music book announcement arrives just over a week after his father Jeff Tweedy announced his new book How to Write One Song.
