You said you wanted to include the fuck-ups on the new Particle Kid album. It seems like that approach, embracing mistakes, is a place that takes years to.
I basically just took what we did with Neil. We record live to a two-inch tape machine, and don’t do more than three takes. [With Neil], sometimes we don’t even know we’re recording, we’re just learning the song and that’s what ends up on the tape. There’s an incredible lesson in that process, of letting go and stepping back and getting out of your own way. Because we’re our own worst critics. If we try to control or overanalyze it too much, it kills the art.
It was really powerful, some of the best shows we’ve every played. And it was hard. We were dedicated to Elliot. Every memory of Elliot that any of us can think of is a great memory: He’s laughing a lot, or screaming from the side stage, hollering and cheering during the show, encouraging us all the time. To honor him would be to just keep each other laughing, play the best music we possibly could, stay positive, and push Neil. Lift Neil up as high as we can with the music.

This film and this re-release of2020 is a seminal project and Neil wants it to be its own thing. But there’s been little rumors about [us] digging out the vocoders and things like that [onstage], but it’s really hard to say.

The new music sounds great. When you think all new music sucks, you stumble upon artist that are still making innovative and great new stuff! Willie’s taught his kids well.
