Interview: Ex-Tool Bassist Paul D’Amour Talks About New Band Feersum Ennjin (Audio)

 

After being under the radar and away from the music world for more than twelve years, original Tool bassist Paul D’Amour is back with a new band called Feersum Ennjin. The self-titled debut album came out last Tuesday on November 22nd, and features “The Fourth”, with Danny Carey on drums. I feel that the album captures the essence of his previous two bands Tool and Lusk, and also blends in a degree of theatricality that comes from his work in cinema. It’s an excellent release, and should please fans of Tool, and fans of progressive/ambient/experimental rock. Today on November 28th 2011, just a few minutes ago, I spoke to Paul on the phone to talk about this album. Listen to the 10-minute conversation below, and make sure you follow the band’s official facebook page.
