NEUROSIS frontman Scott Kelly talked to Brooklyn Vegan about SHRINEBUILDER, Neurosis, Combat Music Radio, Neurot Recordings, and more.

Here’s an excerpt from the interview:

Q: Where are you exactly in the process as far as Shrinebuilder is concerned? I know you provided recent updates on your blog, but since then, how's it coming along?

A: "We are basically in the same spot we were... Not finished mixing yet, artwork's not done yet, but getting closer on both. Wino ended up doing an extra day of guitar in Baltimore about ten days after he did the initial recording and Dale's done a little bit of percussion overdubs and we've been kinda dialing in each song a little at a time. It’s actually really close to a final mix. Al is recording the new OM album in Chicago, so when he gets done he'll be in there with those guys. I'd expect to have it all mixed probably within a couple weeks... it's really close."

Q: So I know that you guys are working on new Neurosis material... That said, where are we in the process of that? Any kind of idea when that will surface?

A: "Nah. We've got skeletons, but they've yet to take shape. We've got a lot of riffs layed out... sequences of riffs... but writing a Neurosis record takes a long time. We get these rough ideas and then kind of meditate on it for a while, see how it feels and take it to the next step and the next step. We're getting to a point where we are ready to give it our full attention, but there's a bunch of material laying there. Hopefully by the end of the year... I would say nine months is a short version of how long it could take. Sometimes the shit just goes. You can't call it."
