Yenigun: So you feel that you need to take a step back after you've taken the first step toward a song?īangalter: Yes, that's something we usually like. So that's why our creative process takes a lot of time, sometimes years making records, because we like making a song or making a track and letting it rest and seeing if it does indeed have that lasting power. It's true we wanted to create music that could fit in some timeless place or timeless zone, where we can keep a focus on an instant effect that would last. So the music on this record is really the music we wanted to make because it's the music we wanted to listen to. We aren't really making music for the audience or thinking about people's expectations. So making music for us is a very personal process. Yenigun: And this is something you wanted to bring to your record?īangalter: I think it's something we try to do in our music: We are making the music we would like to listen to. If you drop that song in any club or birthday party, people are going to fill the dance floor right away. We get the same feeling we get when we were kids, for sure. I'm curious after all these years, does it conjure up the same feelings you had when you first heard it?īangalter: It's timeless and universal music. Yenigun: So you said you were pretty young when you first heard this song. It's really what it's about and what dance music and disco music is about, which is having a good time. Yenigun: I'm curious, are there any examples of these records from that era that we can take a listen to?īangalter: "Good Times" from Chic is definitely one of these records that we wouldn't stop listening to when we were 10 or 11 years old. And that's the juxtaposition and the idea of Random Access Memories: the juxtaposition of different ideas, of putting a Panda Bear from Animal Collective and Julian Casablancas from The Strokes next to Paul Williams or Nile Rodgers. But we really tried to create something more composite, something that didn't really exist. Nile Rodgers and Giorgio Moroder are really the foundation for modern pop music and dance music, and we were really excited by the idea of getting with them and doing new music together, and also preserving a certain craftsmanship that we loved from these records from the '70s or early '80s that were special for us. And whether it's Nile Rodgers, or Giorgio Moroder, or Paul Williams, they are really iconic artists and iconic producers and songwriters, and it was a blast to have the ability to interact with them and. It's true that we very instinctively and spontaneously reached out to musicians that have touched us, and which we really love. Pre-order now, 're making music like the soundtracks of our lives and we don't really associate it with a certain environment where music can be listened to in a bedroom or a dancefloor.īangalter: Not really.
