On Embers being simple: I think the first three minutes of the song are somewhat reminiscent of pop music. The vocal melody is featured prominently and sits a little higher in the mix than a lot of previous Elder material. Most of its accents are on downbeats and it's in a major key. These are all things that remind people of pop music - which is generally more simplistic. I think because the're focused on that, they don't hear the more complex syncopated rhythms and arppegiated guitar parts happening beneath it. I know I certainly didn't the first time I listened to it. Personally, I think there's a lot of complexity to the song. It's one of the things that keeps me listening to it over and over again...I hear something new in it every time. Well, that, and it's just a fucking great song.

My new idiot roommate came in a couple days ago after I had just got done playing Lore and (unprompted) was like “gotta be honest man, I wasn’t really feeling the guitars” and I was like, “what, the music I was just playing?” He goes “Ya” and I look at him for a sec and then go back to whatever I was doing. “That’s okay.” I now have an Elder playlist with every album on it. It starts during breakfast

I wonder what kind of music your roommate likes, I'm guessing really basic stuff like Metallica

Very neat to see that such musical geniuses are goofy fellas deep down. Loved learning more about you. Please come to Finland again, I was a huge dumbass and didn't imagine you'd ever come here, so I missed your gigs last summer and regret that every day.

It’s tough living in salt lake area. Not many cool bands come here unless they’re really big. I am moving to Oregon and hope Portland is a spot they’ll hit in 2022

@@armata6530 interesting. As much as I like Elder, I would never move (back to) the West coast to see them. That must be true love.

35:52 Personally, being a big fan of Ween because of how diverse their albums are, I love the fact that you guys have been mixing it up with your albums. BTW would not be upset if you guys did a country album, absolutely loved 12 Golden Country Greats and I'm not even a huge country fan; I'm actually really curious to hear your guys' take on some good ol' "hillbilly music" as the fans criticizing Jack would say.
