JH: I recently saw a post that Causa Sui are working on Pewter Sessions 3. How is that coming along? What can we expect?
Jakob Skott: The Pewt’r Sessions don’t really come along, they’re just suddenly THERE. The first two albums were jammed up on the same day and released a few months apart. The new one is also a fun day of jamming, but the approach to the album is different it’s all the best segments edited together into a collage. Jonas edited out all the guitarsolos, and just kept the atmosphere parts. He did a brilliant job at that. It has such a great flow!
JH: When you’re playing with Causa Sui, how do their records come about? To me, it sounds like you, Jonas, Rasmus, and Jess just hit record and let things just happen organically. Summer Sessions and Pewter Sessions both have that ‘Desert Sessions’ vibe. Is that the case or is there more control and planning involved?
Jakob Skott: Improvising! We always start out jamming. It’s just a question of when we record it for the album. Sometimes we work on the songs more, sometimes less, but we try to keep it as organic as possible and just let it flow even though we’ve played some of the same ideas for a while.
