Gogol Bordello on Rick Rubin
By CMU Editorial | Published on Friday 27 November 2009
Bassist with gypsy punks Gogol Bordello, Tommy T, has been singing the praises of producer Rick Rubin, who was responsible for pressing record and play at the same time for the band’s as-yet-untitled forthcoming new album, which is due out early next year.
He told Spinner: “[Rick Rubin is] a genius. He’s a person who’s absolutely confident and absolutely believes his instincts. And that means he’s going to bring the best out of you. His instincts are deadly – you can see that through his work, many years through many styles. He builds a song from the ground up. It’s not about a riff, it’s not about this or that. The whole thing is about a song”.
