Aaron Dessner of Big Red Machine connects with Zane Lowe to chat about the band’s new album, ‘How Long Do You Think It’s Gonna Last,’ and how working on ‘folklore’ and ‘evermore’ gave him a newfound drive. The album includes two collaborations with Taylor Swift (‘Birch’ and ‘Renegade’), and features Ben Howard, Fleet Foxes’ Robin Pecknold, Anaïs Mitchell, and more. For Aaron, the appeal of Big Red Machine is having an excuse to work with Justin Vernon and experimenting with a variety of sounds and instruments.
