Bear In Heaven Interview
Jon Philpot from Bear in heaven on the mic!
Loud Farm: You just released your 3rd full length album "I love you, its cool" sometime this month. I heard you streamed the album pitched down to the extreme lasting 2,700 hours. How did you guys come up with that idea?
Jon Philpot: We wanted to release a double record. One regular record and one ambient record. But, we ran out of time and money. This idea was the next best idea. In many ways it was a better idea.
LF: What was a memorable moment while recording "I love you, It's cool"?
JP: The first time we ate the Spicy Cumin Lamb noodle soup at Xi'an's Famous Foods was pretty incredible.
LF: You guys collaborated with Lindstrom, how did that happen?
JP: Adam Heathcott, of Hometapes, was in London and he gave Lindstrom a copy of our record Beast Rest Forth Mouth. Lindstrom mentioned that he liked the record on twitter so we contacted him and asked him if he wanted to do a remix. They asked if we wanted to trade a remix for a cover. Glad we did it, it's a really fun song to play.
LF: Alright lets start with the fun stuff…. Whats your favorite mobile app? JP: GifRus. It makes gifs and gifs r great. LF: Whats your favorite place on earth and why? JP: Tulum, Mexico. Blue water, Pyramids and Cenotes.
LF: If all the noise were to be true, tell us 3 things you would want to do before the world ends this year. JP: 1. Jump a Monster Truck / 2. Learn French / 3. Win a Grammy
LF: Tell us what person/celeb would make you nervous if you saw them in the street. JP: President Obama. He has a lot of heavily armed people around him. LF: Whats the biggest lie you've ever told and what happened? JP: I told some friends that I lost my virginity. I lost my virginity 2 years later.
LF: Whats your favorite synth? JP: Korg Monotron Delay.
LF: 5 jaw-dropping albums you've listened to lately. JP: Here We Go Magic - A Different Ship / J.D. Emmanuel - Wizards / Nick Lowe - The Convincer / Valentin Silvestrov - Sacred Works / The Smiths - Complete Box Set
