OneRepublic Interview: New album ‘Native’, partly recorded at Black Rock Studios, Santorini Greece

Colorado’s greatest, OneRepublic, recorded their third album in various studios in Denver, London, Paris and Greece, one of which was the sumptuous Black Rock on Santorini, the ‘Island of the Gods’. Lead guitarist Zach Filkins gave this interview to Crave Online, where he discusses the new record, the recording sessions, Black Rock studios and more…

“… we’ve been in studios where you almost write an entire song right there because… something is (just) there. We worked in Santorini, which is this really beautiful island off the coast of Greece. We went there for an actual band vacation that Twiddy offered us, something we hadn’t done in a long time. But there’s this studio in Santorini that’s super beautiful, and it was a really laid back experience to have a studio available to us in such an amazing setting.

Most of all, we’re chasing inspiration. And you can’t always find the inspiration you need from one studio or one location.”
