In 2014 we interviewed Cocteau Twins’ Founder/Maestro/Guitarist Robin Guthrie.
Robin was a pleasure to talk to, and we discussed 4AD and their recent reissue campaigns, plus Cocteau Twins and This Mortal Coil. We also spoke about his scoring work with Gregg Araki, such as the upcoming film “White Bird in a Blizzard”, starring Shailene Woodley, and Eva Green, which should be available to watch online this Wednesday, the 25th.
During the interview, we also discussed Robin releasing another record with Harold Budd, and an LP Mark Gardener of Ride.
PP: So there are these recent vinyl reissues of Blue Bell Knoll and Heaven or Las Vegas, and people focus a lot on the Cocteau Twins but I’ve noticed that you’re always busy, there’s always a new project, always producing something, collaborating with someone, etc. For example, I really enjoyed what you did with Mark Gardener recently.
RG: Oh you’ve got a treat coming because I’ve done a whole album with him, that’s going to come. It’s all finished and everything, I’ve just got the artwork to do and also I need to find somebody to put it out, really. We haven’t had much good feedback from record labels and things… Ultimately I’ll probably just put it out myself but Mark’s manager thought that this should be a, you know, a record that could get cart entry if it were put out on a label, so we tried. But regardless of that, I mean, you’re going to like it because you’ve really probably only heard one track that Mark and I have done and that was about four years ago, five years ago now.
