#354: Enslaved's Ivar Bjørnson

Enslaved's Ivar Bjørnson is our guest this week. We discuss the
band's new album, Utgard, and the concept behind it, the shorter
songs therein compared to their previous three albums, the
experience of the band's recently completed virtual tour, and
what new drummer Iver Sandøy brings to the band both behind
the kit and vocally. We also talk about the influence Deep Purple
have had on Enslaved, their decision to cover Faith No More’s
"Jizzlobber," the Enslaved record he thinks those new to the band
should start with, and the challenges for working musicians that
most people aren’t aware of right now. Petar, Brandon, and Sylvia
discuss Pete’s birthday weekend, the perpetual journey of trying to
find a safe place to smoke a joint, and the age at which consuming
new art should maybe stop for people. Songs: Enslaved - “Homebound”
and “Jettegryta” Learn more about your ad choices. Visit
