Peter Buck on upcoming vinyl-only solo debut: ‘It’s not gonna be in Walmart’
For months, former R.E.M. guitarist Peter Buck has been silent about his upcoming solo debut, but hes finally opening up about the project, confirming its planned as a vinyl-only release and that hell sing eight of the albums 12 tracks, with longtime sideman Scott McCaughey and Corin Tucker of Sleater-Kinney picking up the rest.
In a new interview with Paste magazine, Buck says the entire album was recorded in four-and-a-half days, but that he hopes to get it down to two days in the future. The record will be released sometimes later this year by vinyl-only imprint Mississippi Records.
Buck says: If I had wanted to make it a CD, the CD wouldve been out three months ago, but vinyl is what I want to do for right now. Its a record like all records, people will have to look for it, I guess. Its not gonna be in Walmart. Well see about the digital. Im sure itll be out before, say, Thanksgiving. I say that with hope.
In the meantime, Buck is going to start playing shows with McCaughey, ex-R.E.M. drummer Bill Rieflin and others under the name Richard M. Nixon beginning this weekend in Seattle.
