INTERVIEW: Dylan Carlson: A Mediation Of The Southwest, Mexico & ‘Conquistador’

Full interview by Lucy Brady via New Noise Magazine

After a sojourn in the U.K. exploring the history and folklore of the British Isles while performing under the moniker drcarlsonalbion—a period that saw collaborations with Steeleye Span’s Maddy Prior and The Hackney Lass, aka Rosie Knight—Dylan Carlson is now back in thoroughly American territory.

The Seattle musician’s latest offering, Conquistador—released April 27 via Sargent House—is a meditation on the legends of Mexico and the American Southwest, tracing the real-life account of Spanish explorer Álvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca.

Phase two line-up for Desert Daze has been announced! Earth will be performing "The Bees Made Honey In The Lion's Skull" in full joining a stellar line-up of bands including our own Chelsea Wolfe.
