S7 E1: Zach Cooper

Zach Cooper and Vic Dimotsis are King Garbage and they are making the soundtrack to a perfect night out well, mine anyway. Imagine a deserted city at 2am where Robert de Niro’s taxi drops you off at a door marked only by a single red light, you knock to get in, take the stairs down in a small basement where a group of friends are playing their impromptu improvised tunes, doffing their caps to American Soul, funk, jazz, swing to create a room where bonds of friendship are made and never end. The sort of place that draws you in and never lets you go.

Their second long player is called Heavy Metal Greasy Love, 9 tracks of life affirming fun.

Such a great convo with Zach, talking about his influences from childhood, comfort zones, anxieties, how art creation can be a restorative process, being comfortable with imperfections, collaborations and what he has learned over his amazing career.

Hey, and we also talk about his mind-blowing collabs with Caitlyn Swett and Penelope the Orchid called Duets with Orchids and another with kuxxan SUUM - performed on a waterlogged piano salvaged from the bottom of a reservoir in Black Mountain, NC. Check them out, totally brilliant and innovative.
