Lightning Bolt’s fifth album Garden Of Earthly Delights (Load, 10/13) opens like a riot with “Sound Guardians.” It’s the perfect place to get acquainted with the collection, so we asked drummer Brian Chippendale about it. You’ve heard “Colossus,” now hear Chippendale talk about how he and Brian Gibson arrive at song titles (hint: Soundgarden and the Boredoms are involved), why they put “Sound Guardians” first, and whether or not their new Garden was inspired by the 15th/16th-century Dutch painter Hieronymus Bosch. We didn’t have enough room for his ruminations in the ‘Gum Drop, but you can read it all here, while you give your eardrums a workout.
