IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD WITH LOU NILES EPISODE #2: BUILT IN SUN from Love Machine Films on Vimeo.

Built In Sun is a new project from Joe Plummer (Cold War Kids/The Shins/Modest Mouse/Black Heart Procession) and Pall Jenkins (Black Heart Procession/Three Mile Pilot/Mr. Tube and the Flying Objects).

I met up with Joe and Pall in South Park. We talked about the new album, how it came to be, the songwriting process, and what we can look forward to from the band:

THE HISTORY OF BUILT IN SUN

Joe was working on a collection of music during breaks between drumming for The Shins and Cold War Kids releases. Joe asked Pall if he would work on some vocals and lyrics for a track. Pall said yes, and what came out of that collaboration sounded so good that a band was born.

Built In Sun’s self-titled release is out now on Piaptk Records. It features artists like Ariel Pink, the Blank Tapes, Flaming Lips, Graves, Mike Watt, and more. Get more info on Built In Sun.

Founded on the ethos that love can conquer all, Love Machine Films thrives when the lens is on the soul of the people. We are on the front lines in the fight to save humanity. Breast cancer, children with diabetes, the malaria epidemic of south-east Asia, or the suicides of teenagers, we are showing these plights successfully through the poetic medium of film, tv, music and photo. Love Machine Films has the client roster and years to back our major commercial acclaim both here in the U.S and internationally. Again our ethos is simple: Love can conquer all.
