Gossard: We are scheming right now about getting together to finish our second record and make some lovely performance videos soon, we hope. Our process with remote recording worked great but yes, we’re desperate to play in same room.

I know all the players on the record. All of them great great musicians and people. Josh Freese, Jeff Fielder, “Hans Teuber, Om Johari, Keith Lowe and, of course, Mike [McCready] and Jeff [Ament] from Pearl Jam. So fun to have all these amazing folks part of this recording.”

How did “Time Machine” come about? The guitar riff is crunchy and industrial at the same time. What was going through your head as you were writing the music?

Gossard: "Time Machine" was a demo that I've kicked around for 10 years. It had a few other parts in the original, but over the course of making record we really simplified and broke it open, both arrangement-wise and lyrically. It was the most worked over of all the tracks. John Congleton's mix was also a huge part of the final version.

Im looooving the new song!!

Weird how Stone made a rock album with the quirky singer songwriter guy and brought a quirky singer songwriter song to his rock band's new album.
