About to embark on his first US tour since 2008, Andrew Eldritch joins Louder from a car en route to London's Heathrow Airport. Although ‘seriously over-tired’, in this long and wide-ranging interview he talks about America, lost albums, geopolitics, getting shot at, how The Sisters almost never happened and his current burst of songwriting.
Since entering their fifth decade – and Eldritch his sixties – The Sisters have become unusually fecund (well, as fecund as you can be for a band that hasn't actually released a studio recording in 30 years): The Sisters have played thirteen new songs live between 2019 and 2022, most debuting only last year. For context, they performed just ten new songs in the 25 years between 1993 and 2018.
