Yoo Doo Right digs deep and gives a rare live interview

Interview by Stephan Boissonneault
Genres and styles : Krautrock / Post-Rock

Additional Information

Since their first album, Don’t Think You Can Escape Your Purpose, and perhaps their split EP with Acid Mother’s Temple in 2020, the local post-krautrock titans, Yoo Doo Right have been spreading their sonic influence and super high decibels worldwide. Their latest offering From The Heights of Our Pastureland is somewhat of a closed chapter in their album trilogy, not forgetting to mention their fantastic second album, A Murmur, Boundless To the East—as the band is now already thinking about new music on the horizon.

Yoo Doo Right recently had their album release show From The Heights of Our Pastureland at Théâtre Plaza (you can read our review here), and two members, Justin Cober (guitar/synth/vocals) and John Talbot (drums/percussion) gave a brief but exploratory interview with PAN M 360 just before their soundcheck.

We spoke about the catharsis of playing at ridiculously high volumes, writing the new music during a snowstorm, and a hint of their political edge through music.
