Interview: Blues Control

The ex-NYC, now rural Pennyslvania-based duo of Lea Cho (piano & keyboards) and Russell Waterhouse (guitar & drums) A.K.A Blues Control have been kicking around the murky reaches of the lo-fi American underground for a few years now, and this weekend they're finally making it New Zealand for three shows. Inspired by psych, kraut and new age music, their most recent album Valley Tangents (out now on Drag City) offers what is perhaps the best expression yet of their unique, sprawling, instrumental takes on these idioms. We caught up with them on the eve of their New Zealand shows about the new album and how they came to live out in the country.
