Weekend listeners may also hear the many moods of Thievery Corporation. In 2020, Thievery Corporation released their Symphonik album with orchestral renditions of some of their best-known songs, and Eric Hilton, one half of the duo, released a pair of ambient lounge music recordings, The Impossible Silence and Infinite Everywhere, with a third imminent. We put together a 2020 interview with Hilton and a 2010 interview with Garza, about a music born in dub and music sampling.
