Billy Gould has had a busy 2020. Not only has he reunited with Faith No More (for which he plays bass and is a founding member), he's just released 'Talking Book 2,' the long awaited follow-up to 2011's 'Talking Book' by the band of the same name.
Gould rounds out the musical trio, which also features Jared Blum and Dominic Cramp of Gigante Sound, and 'Talking Book 2' (out April 24 on Gould's Koolarrow Records label) is a rich tapestry of sound, a set of dense instrumentals that are deeply evocative, feeling like a soundtrack to a film that doesn't exist.
In this episode of the Smells Like Infinite Sadness Podcast, Gould and I discuss the new album, from its origins to the importance of sequencing, as well as how the Coronavirus pandemic is affecting Faith No More's upcoming summer tour (and the effect of the pandemic on musicians in general), the 20th anniversary of their 1995 underrated classic 'King For a Day, Fool For A Lifetime' and much more.
So give it a listen, and stay tuned afterward where I'll be premiering 'Heridor', a track off the new album.
