Episode eight: Pete Kember, Sonic Boom
Manage episode 300676237 series 2945907
I’m speaking to a bonafide indie rock legend on this episode. Pete Kember, also known as Sonic Boom. But Pete has gone by all sorts of names over the years; EAR (or Experimental Audio Research) or Spectrum. He’s provided production to the likes of MGMT, Panda Bear and Beach House. He’s worked with Yo La Tengo and Stereolab, and he was – until 1991 – a founding member, and – alongside Jason Pierce – now of Spiritualized – a constant in Rugby psyche wonders Spacemen 3. Last year he released – as Sonic Boom – one of the very best records of the year, All Things Being Equal.
Sonic Boom tours the UK early next month. Here we talk about Portugal, psychedelic drugs, gardening and... would he ever reunite Spacemen 3. The C-86 podcast I reference in the episode, you can find here.
