In the first interview of Kate Bush to have aired since 2011, she speaks about her upcoming live triple-album, Before The Dawn. Matt Everitt of BBC 6 Music asks Bush about the upcoming album that captures her residency at the Hammersmith Apollo in London, her hesitation and "terror" regarding live performance, and the possibility of new music. Enduring her concerts of 2014’s Before the Dawn, her first since 1979, she had to force herself to be in the moment, afraid that she would be lost otherwise. The full interview will air on 11/20, preceding the release of Before the Dawn on 11/25. Listen to the six-minute preview below, via Pitchfork.
