Peter Kember

And so here's a bit of a deep cut that you may not know this.

but peter kembler is that a name no aka sonic boom founding member vocalist guitarist of the neo-psychedelic band spaceman 3 i remember you loving spaceman 3 back in the day am i mistaken i might be hallucinating you might be hallucinating maybe

we're both ai i don't know

Okay, well, I'm going to have to start to listen to Spaceman 3 again because maybe it was me who loved Spaceman 3.

Uh, because again, I was always looking for sleep albums.

And so Jason Pierce, who is the main guy in, uh, spiritualized was in a band called the spaceman three with a guy named Sonic boom, whose name is Pete Kemper.

And when they broke up, they both had two different bands that sound a lot alike, but have different kind of, uh, approaches to making music where spiritualized kind of went for these epic sounds like you had here spectrum which was uh the first band that uh solo band that sonic boom had was the one i listened to a lot more because uh they had an album called the soul kiss glide divine which is a great sleep album except for maybe one song which is the opening so you skip how you satisfy me and then you go into all the other songs because but they both bands had these certain sounds which is these electronic oscillations and all this tremolo that kind of thing um so if you

like yeah tremolo sounds

If you like spiritual lives, go back and check some of the stuff, especially that album Soulkits by Divine.

They've drawn this song out.

They've drawn that drone out and made it longer.

This is very in keeping with the kind of music he and Sonic Boom were making at the time.

I'm your host Nathan Jolly, and my guests today are Sonic Boom and Panda Bear.

That is Pete Kember and Noah Lennox.

They're from the bands Spacemen 3 and Animal Collective, and they've also recorded two collaborative albums together under the name Panda Bear and Sonic Boom.

The second of those albums, A Question of When, is out now on vinyl, CD, cassette, or digital download.
