An interview with Ash Black Bufflo regarding Andasol:
KFR: What is Andasol about?
ABB: Wow, right off the bat. Uh, it’s about a lot of things, but mostly about cursedness. And violence. Violence to yourself and others. Ghosts—personal and from a ways back. There’s redemption in there too, somewhere.
KFR: Wonderful. How long did it take?
ABB: Five years.
KFR: That’s a long time. It’s a long album too.
ABB: Yeah, well…
KFR: There’s a lot of different styles on Andasol. Why not settle for one and get it right?
ABB: I wanted to cover a lot of range…what didn’t I get right?
KFR: Do you think living in Portland has done anything for you or for the album?
ABB: The rain makes you stay inside and work. Other than that, playing in good bands over the years—Dolorean, Grails, Holy Sons, the Standard—has helped a lot. Good friends and good musicians all around.
KFR: What artists would you reference in regards to Andasol?
ABB: That’s a good question…
KFR: Because I could come up with some obvious names.
ABB: I feel like you’re being confrontational.
KFR: I just want to understand the album.
ABB: Why don’t I offer up some names instead?
KFR: Of course.
ABB: (unintelligible)
KFR: Pardon?
ABB: For sure there’s some Brian Eno in there. Some Moondog. William Goyen. Peter Garland. Uh…Mason Williams. I sound like a jerk. Uh, Arnold Dreyblatt. Arvo Part. Some poor man’s west coast minimalism. I sound like an idiot. You’re making me sound like an idiot. (laughs)
KFR: I knew one name on that list and I don’t like his music at all.
ABB: Well, there you go.
KFR: Best of luck to you! I’m sure the album will do wonderfully.
ABB: (unprintable)
