Ken interviewed by Flagpole magazine
FP: In between "Soft Commands" and working with R.E.M., what else were you up to last year?KS: I recorded in Memphis with Big Star and Seattle with the Posies both of which will be released on Rykodisc. The Posies material is 90 percent done and the Big Star material is done - it will be their first release in 27 years, the Posies' first release in 6 years.
FP: What were those recording experiences like?
KS: Jon and I have been playing with Alex and Stephen since 1993 and we're like regular members. Alex has moved on to another place musically and he basically set us in a room together and let it ripÉ I think it's a cool record that only occasionally brushes up against a Big Star of the past. The Posies' new material is just different enough and just related enough to be fresh and not trying too hard to disown their past - there are many twist and turns.
