The Real Congregation :: Drawing Lines With Blinker The Star :: 05/22/12
Blinker The Star is one of the best bands you’ve never heard in your life. Thing is… it’s not so much a band as it is the brainchild of Jordon Zadorozny. With nearly twenty years of other-worldly sounds, hooks and production, the Blinker The Star catalog creates the sort of sonic world that you feel as if you can walk right into. And even though Blinker was signed to major labels like Dreamworks and A&M, few outside of a small cult of diehards got to hear the early work.
Jordon’s resume is enough to impress even the most hardened of the elitists: he’s produced songs and albums by the likes of Chris Cornell, Ken Andrews, Melissa Auf Der Maur and Don Vail, he’s written songs for Courtney Love, and he’s had the likes of Storm Thorgeson, Vinnie Colaiuta and Lindsey Buckingham working on his own records.
This week, The Real Congregation and Marc With a C couldn’t be prouder that Jordon Zadorozny sat down to talk with us for the entire episode, taking an in-depth journey through his musical endeavors. From his early lo-fi days up to his new albums, (Abbey’s Phantast and Blinker The Star’s We Draw Lines), Jordon talks candidly about everything under the sun. We couldn’t be happier to bring this special episode to you!
