167. CHRIS COHEN ON HIS NEW ALBUM PAINT A ROOM, AND THE SELF-TITLED 2019 ALBUM ABOUT HIS DAD (PART 2) (Discograffiti, the music obsessives’ podcast)

45 minutes

First in Deerhoof and then on his own over four consistently brilliant solo LPs (including the brand-new Hardly Art release Paint A Room), Chris Cohen’s been gifting us with projects over the last 25 years that’ve run the gamut stylistically. Massive success inevitably beckons, and that’s the objective truth.

Here’s just a few of the things Chris and I discuss in this podcast:

How his creative process fundamentally shifted for the construction of his brilliant new LP, Paint A Room;

A shockingly bare and extremely in-depth discussion of his father’s addictions and indiscretions, not to mention the trauma that created for Chris (which was then funneled into the autobiographical bravery of his third album);

And a song-by-song analysis of both Paint A Room and 2019’s self-titled LP!

I support a wife and a five-year-old son with Discograffiti as my sole source of income. If you love the episode, please see fit to toss me a tip.
