This is our last treat," he says, his voice easing from its normal, nervous rush to a smooth, consoling clip. The sun is setting outside Normal Bar, a popular, two-sided pub in a thriving, postage-sized section of Athens named Normaltown, two miles removed from the University of Georgia's downtown bedlam. Bachmann seems to loom over a small square table on the less-crowded side of the bar, even when he kicks his chair back and leans against the wall.
For the last few beers at a different bar, he's talked about his time in Archers of Loaf and his stint as a saxophone major, how his dad still wonders when he's going to get a real job, and how he doesn't care so much about modern indie rock. But here, just as the Georgia sky dims, so does the conversation.
Bachmann begins discussing the limits of making music for a living, which is what he's done for nearly a quarter-century. For years, Durrett was a touring singer-songwriter herself, making twilit folk that conjured the brambles and woods of her native Georgia.
