Eric Bachmann returns to discuss the wonderful new Crooked Fingers album, Swet Deth, his recent heart attack and an update on his health, the eerie nature of the lyrical themes and his son’s cover art for Swet Deth, working with featured guests like Sharon Van Etten and The National’s Matt Berninger, sentimentality and self-loathing, why this new album was almost two separate but similar records, the surprising story behind the sweet yet pointed song, “Spray Tan Speed Queen (In a German Car),” his current outlook on the future of Archers of Loaf, other future plans, and much more.
