The FADER Issue 64 Free Download
- story THE FADER
With domestic issues weighing so heavily on every American’s mind these days, it felt appropriate to focus our sixth annual photo issue inward. We started by selecting two cover stories that represent seemingly opposing factions of this country—the values of small town America via Eau Claire, Wisconsin’s Bon Iver and the hard grind of big city life through South Central Los Angeles’ Dam-Funk—and found more common ground between them than most talking heads and politicians would care to know. For the feature photo story, Peter van Agtmael’s plaintive portraits of widespread citizens and Victoria Sambunaris’ landscapes of geological sites along Interstate 80 create a visual dialogue between man and land and will hopefully leave you asking questions rather than giving answers. And because the future prosperity of the US will depend on the dreams of its newest residents as it always has, we focused our fashion story on first generation Americans and new emigres living in New York’s five boroughs. Not to mention our regular selection of Gen F profiles, including Kris Kristofferson, The XX, Neon Indian, Kurt Vile, Kyle Hall and Warpaint, plus interviews with RZA, Janka Nabay, Andrew Weatherall and tons more. So feel free (because it is literally free) to check it all out, and if you make TheFADER.com your homepage you won’t miss our treasure trove of extras and outtakes from above and beyond the issue.

Andrew Weatherall, “Walk of Shame” MP3 + Q&A

We interviewed electronic music legend Andrew Weatherall for FADER #64 about the innovative production he added to Fuck Buttons‘ crazy amazing new record/teleportation device, Tarot Sport. He doesn’t give many interviews but he granted us one since apparently we’ve been sending him comps of the magazine for nine years and we didn’t even really know. Sweet! Coincidentally, Weatherall’s also got an incredible new album of his own coming, A Pox on the Pioneers, which melds a wry humor with his laser production focus. “Walk of Shame” almost sounds like one, its beleaguered vocals countered by lightheaded guitar and synths. Download it below and read the full transcript of our interview with him about working with Fuck Buttons, arctic travelers and his obsession with Dashiell Hammett after the jump. Also, if you’re in NYC this weekend, add Weatherall’s stint at Club Love to the long list of unmissable DJ gigs going on tomorrow night.

Andrew Weatherall, FACT Mix 85 MP3

When we recently chatted with Andrew Weatherall, he told us he based the lyrics for his debut solo album, A Pox on the Pioneers (released today), on noir films and Dashiell Hammett novels, then told us a story about a Naples mafia boss who was stabbed in the kidneys with knitting needles at a banquet. And it was hilarious! His classically morbid British sense of humor matches his epic moustache/suspenders. Weatherall, as you likely know already is an epic DJ, produced and or remixed people like Primal Scream, My Bloody Valentine, Bjork, et al and is one half of Two Lone Swordsman. Perhaps as a companion piece to the excellent Pioneers, his FACT magazine mix is titled A Pox on the Influences, and you can hear how his meticulous songwriting, multi-dimensional production and fundamentally punk ethos have drawn from the tracks included.
