Kyle Meredith With...

Slowdive’s second act turned out to be much bigger than anyone in the band expected. In this Rewind, bassist Nick Chaplin looks back at the band’s self-titled comeback, the moment “Star Roving” proved they could make new music again, and realizing a younger generation saw them as a current band instead of a legacy act. Neil Halstead then talks with Kyle Meredith about following it with Everything Is Alive, building songs from electronic sketches and happy accidents, and balancing Slowdive’s love of classic pop with their more atmospheric, experimental side.

Brittany Howard talks with Kyle Meredith about how Alabama Shakes unexpectedly found their way back together after reuniting for a friend’s brewery fundraiser, which led from a few songs to an EP and eventually their first album in more than a decade, I Must Be Dreaming. Howard digs into the record’s psychedelic soul sound, rediscovering old songs like “Hold On” through a new perspective, and how the album found its story where our private fears, doubts, and dreams collide with a pretty uncertain world. She also opens up about having to push herself to write when she wanted to disappear, why the anger she sees right now actually gives her hope, and joining the Power to the People concert alongside one of her heroes, Tom Morello.

Dugout Dads reunites some familiar faces, but Patrick Renna and Danielle Fishel have no interest in trying to recreate The Sandlot or Boy Meets World. The longtime friends talk with Kyle Meredith about Renna turning the insanity of Little League parents into a new comedy series, bringing his Sandlot castmates back as fictionalized versions of themselves, and why Fishel sees the whole thing as “rebooting a cast” instead of rebooting a classic. They also get into Renna independently funding and building the series for YouTube, plans to expand it into a full season with more of a Curb Your Enthusiasm feel, and the cameos already lining up, including Creed Bratton, Michael Peña, and potentially Seth Green.

Grace Cummings made Bloodhorse! like it might be the last thing she ever does, and that meant finally shutting out the voice telling her she was “too much.” Cummings talks with Kyle Meredith about going bigger and stranger with producer Jonathan Wilson, the animals and mythology running through the record, and how its themes only started revealing themselves after she finished it. She also gets into the hilarious AI-generated bro-country song buried in the middle of Bloodhorse!, why it’s deliberately surrounded by very real musicians playing very real instruments, and the joyful release behind “Witch,” including the moment Wilson handed her an actual scythe and sent her back in to sing it again.

Weezer finally got its mission statement together: “Let’s just work together.” Scott Shriner and Patrick Wilson talk with Kyle Meredith about The Gold Album, the band’s 20th record, and how sitting in a living room together turned the sessions into a creative rebirth. They also get into rejecting the modern obsession with grids and perfection, developing a stronger bass-and-drums connection, the self-aware message behind “CEO,” and taking the new songs on the road alongside The Shins and Silversun Pickups.
