Randy Newman was the guest on WTF with Marc Maron. "I can't tell you what an honor it was for me to have him in here, because I love him, I love his work," says Maron. "Randy Newman, one of my heroes ... He's got a new record out, called Dark Matter, which is great. It's like a real Randy Newman record from back in the day ... He is a great satirist, a very bright guy, sharp. I loved talking to him."

Randy Newman is the guest on the latest episode of WTF with Marc Maron, ahead of the release of his new album, Dark Matter, on August 4 (with vinyl to follow on August 18).

"I can't tell you what an honor it was for me to have him in here, because I love him, I love his work, I've always liked him as a person. When I was a kid," says Maron at the start of the show, "he was one of the first guys that really blew my mind ... The first records I had were Good Old Boys and Sail Away—I must've been in junior high—and I was like, man, this stuff is beautiful, it's poignant, it's cutting, it's funny, I just ... I loved him, and I always have loved him."

Maron goes on to say in his introduction to the interview: "Randy Newman, one of my heroes ... He's got a new record out, called Dark Matter, which is great. It's like a real Randy Newman record from back in the day ... He is a great satirist, a very bright guy, sharp. I loved talking to him."

    Donnacha Dennehy’s Land of Winter is out now. The piece, performed by the composer's longtime collaborators Alarm Will Sound and conductor Alan Pierson, explores the subtleties of Ireland’s seasons via twelve connected sections representing the months of the year. "It is the varying quality of light that truly demarcates the seasons," Dennehy says, "from the shorter days of grey or piercing light in the winter to the warmer but mercurial light of summer days that at solstice stretch almost to midnight. I like this play between light and time, and it is the major inspiration behind the piece." You can watch a video for “July" here.
