A mischievous god, a reverend and a newly engaged man: Tom Hiddleston has been busy

by Bob Strauss. Photos: Jay L. Clendenin / Los Angeles Times

It hardly needs saying, but Tom Hiddleston is a much nicer guy than Loki, the supervillain he’s played in six Marvel movies and an acclaimed Disney+ series, which just started shooting its second season in England.

And despite the Norse God of Mischief’s ubiquity, the Cambridge and Royal Academy of Dramatic Art-educated actor does have other interests. His stage résumé is as impressive as the array of auteurs he’s made movies with: Joanna Hogg, Steven Spielberg, Woody Allen, Terence Davies, Jim Jarmusch, Guillermo del Toro, Ben Wheatley. There’s also prestige TV such as “The Night Manager” and now “The Essex Serpent,” which launched in May on Apple TV+.

Still, “‘Loki,’ ‘Essex Serpent,’ they have occupied the last two years of my life,” Hiddleston notes on a warm afternoon in an L.A. hotel garden.

Of course, there was more to the last several years than “Essex” and the first season of “Loki.” Hiddleston found time in March to propose to Zawe Ashton, his co-star in a 2019 West End revival of Harold Pinter’s “Betrayal.”

“I’m very happy” is all he wants to say about that, perhaps gun-shy regarding personal matters since a super-scrutinized 2016 romance with Taylor Swift. But just get him started on the latest shows ....

“I love playing Loki, have loved playing him every time,” the actor says about Thor’s shape-and-loyalty-shifting brother. “In every story, there’s been a different iteration, a different director, a different spin on the ball, if you like.”

The “Loki” series takes place in a divergent timeline before/after he was killed in the last two “Avengers” movies. This trickster version is detained by a kind of cosmic bureaucracy, the Time Variance Authority, and stripped of his powers if not his arrogance.

“If you take away everything that the character knows and understands, what remains?” Hiddleston submits. “Something will be revealed to us and to Loki about who he is. This idea of him undergoing an almost psychoanalytical interrogation with the TVA’s Mobius, played by Owen Wilson, and being confronted with repetitive patterns of destructive behavior, which only resulted in his loss and loneliness, I found to be extremely exciting.”

Another first, for Marvel and Loki: He came out as bisexual to the series’ other key frenemy, Sophia Di Martino’s Sylvie, a female variant of himself.

“In my research into the character and the ancient stories, Loki’s identity has always been fluid in his gender and sexuality,” Hiddleston notes. “It was a privilege to touch on it this time. I’m aware it’s a small step and there’s further to go, but I hope that people felt represented by it.”

Contemporary concerns are also represented in Sarah Perry’s bestselling historical novel “The Essex Serpent.” It’s set in a scientifically advancing 1893, while superstitions still haunt the Blackwater Estuary on England’s eastern coast. People go missing, a big underwater thing is bumping into fishermen’s boats, and some believe a folklore dragon has returned.

Claire Danes plays Cora Seaborne, recently widowed from an abusive marriage and an amateur paleontologist, who comes up from London to investigate. An attraction grows between her and the local, married vicar, Hiddleston’s Will Ransome. All six episodes were directed by another of the actor’s admired auteurs, Clio Barnard (“The Arbor,” “Dark River”).

“I loved this combination of her and the story,” Hiddleston says. “It deals with some very resonant themes: uncertainty, fear and how fear of what we don’t understand can sometimes collectively distort reality. There’s an ideological debate between science and religion that’s staged in the dynamic between Cora and my character, the very progressive but nevertheless faithful reverend of the community.

“It felt like with the pandemic, we all had to manage so much uncertainty,” he continues. “It’s about that, but of course there’s a very psychological metaphor about the serpent, things that lie beneath the surface.”

Hiddleston tried to be a gracious host to his American co-star when they filmed in the Essex salt marshes 13 months ago but fears he might have gone too far.

“It’s windy and it’s muddy and it’s wet,” he says of the shoot. “Claire was incredibly game about all of that. I became a kind of cliché Englishman, endlessly promising that the weather would improve. Every day I’d be like, ‘It’s going to get better, Claire! Just you wait, the spring in England is lovely!’”

Cliché, or in actuality a particularly nice chap?

“I was very lucky when I was younger,” Hiddleston reckons, regarding his reputation. “I worked with some great actors, and I could see that they were very committed to the work and very kind, inspiring in that way. I was junior to Kenneth Branagh and Judi Dench and Chiwetel Ejiofor and Ewan McGregor; these are the best of guys doing it.

“I try to put my best foot forward,” he concludes, then adds with a sheepish grin, “It’s hard to address that.”

ꨄ☹︎☀︎︎✪

I can totally see him venting to you about the pageant business and Patty and may even ask for advice on girls especially when she gets her girl problem. He’s very sassy so when you get your girl secret he doesn’t know what to do and is freaky out doing the jazz hands thing especially when you get cranky or yell at him to get a napkin which he over dramatically touch’s. You guys will most definitely not have a lot of time together with everything going on with Bob barnard, Regina, and Patty so when you guys do he goes all out and makes it super romantic with the things he knows you love the most.

He’s always there tried to be there when you need someone to talk to or need feel down he’s pretty good at comforting and will try to do whatever he can to make you feel better wether it be attempting to cook you dinner or talking you out for you favorite fast food. Safe to say if you guys have a daughter he’ll probably put her in pageants if she wants just to be able to beat Magnolia. Whenever you call he does answer unless he has something to hide from you so he will be lying a lot when it comes to Patty and defending her with your life and it causes some arguments between you too.

But in the early stages of you marriage/relationship it was all perfect he was willing to do things your way and would do things like embarrassing himself in the gym if you wanted. He is pretty open-minded and will do your ideas or you wants in starting a business or getting a job he’ll pick outfits he feel fits the situation or occupation or career you want to pursue.

I’d like to add that Bob is committed to your relationship and is actually loyal somewhat but besides that he’s actually a good partner just not when he’s obsessed with pageants enough to cheat on you with a pageant coach and for you to most likely find out. Just like in the show it happened a long time ago and when you divorce him his shaking in his boots. And finds himself calling you nonstop leaving you voicemails and messages.

He’s well aware that you are on the best things that has happened in his life and even tries to get back out there just to realize it’ll never be the same. Can’t stand the site of you talking to Bob Barnard about your breakup and Bob. B won’t let it go constantly holding it over Bob. A’s head. So Bob Armstrong loves you dearly but his pageants just might come before you and when it happens and you walk away from him he’ll find himself in a dark path with horrible regret and realization that you were his everything. But he’ll move on to another everything.

But honestly Bob is a good guy to be married to he loves and listens to you he just has his own perks addiction

Listening Post: Souled American

Souled American arose in the context of the roots-influenced alternative rock scene of the mid to late 1980s that included “cowpunk” bands such as Rank and File, Green on Red’s acid country and the more refined sound of the Jayhawks. This nascent Americana movement built on the tradition of Dylan and the Band etc. and fed into the No Depression scene associated with Uncle Tupelo in the 1990s.

The first Souled American release, Fe (1988), is in this larger tradition—kind of. “Magic Bullets,” “Make Me Laugh,” and “Going Home,” in particular, have a fairly conventional country rock sound, with rattling drums, twangy guitar, and heartfelt nasal singing, and “She Broke My Heart,” is all weepy country. Some of the other tunes, though, point in a different direction. “Notes Campfire” sets the mood with acoustic strums and a classic country set-up (“I heard about your love/so you’re alone today”) but soon becomes unintelligible (“Slavic notes campfire”?) and introduces odd harmonies somewhere between the Byrds and the Holy Modal Rounders. The distinctive elements of the band sonically begin with the bass of Joe Adducci, which is up front in the mix, shows the influence of his time playing reggae, and is unique in the genre. Equally important are the restrained percussion of Jamie Barnard, the atmospheric playing of guitarist Scott Tuma (who has maintained a solo career), and the voices of Adducci and guitarist Chris Grigoroff.

Everything comes together on Flubber (1989), which starts off with a suite of five tunes on side one that are, for me, 15 of the best minutes of music in the genre in any period. If you’re looking for an entry point with SA, this is it. The blend of burbling bass, acoustic strums, keening electric accents, and atmospheric harmonica is full of emotion and mystery. The sound is simple but layered, making the whole so much more than the parts. The harmonica serves, not to punctuate the vocals, as in Dylan, but to fill the space often filled by accordion, fiddle, and keyboards (e.g., “Wind to Dry”). The lyrics don’t really make sense, but the atmosphere that they create perfectly matches the sound. Characters emerge, such as the lonely woman at a bar in “Mar’Boro Man,” and images such as the canvas punching bag in “All Good Things,” while “Drop in the Basket” hints at an America coming apart at the seams (“this church is on fire/the sirens scream . . . searching every alley for patches for holes”). The other tunes are less immediately compelling but equally rewarding as an early example of slowcore. On “You and You Alone,” “Over the Hill,” and “Zillion,” the band slows to a crawl and the percussion becomes vestigial, pointing forward to the space that has since been inhabited by artists ranging from Will Oldham to SUSS. Flubber creates something new out of well-worn parts, a kind of Old Weird Americana that is neither ironic, overly earnest, nor beholden to the rock tradition. The reissue well includes the mission statement (originally only available on cassette) “Marleyphine Hank” — i.e., the band is made up of equal portions of Bob Marley (that bass), morphine (the slow tempos), and Hank Williams (of course).

Around the Horn (1990) includes tracks every bit as strong as those on Flubber and Fe — the title track, “Second of All,” “In the Mud,” and an inspired take on Little Feat’s “Six Feet of Snow” — and continues the move toward slowcore country, especially on the epic “Rise Above It.” It also represents a major inflection point. The three subsequent releases (which were only available in the U.S. as European imports) double down on the slowcore approach (facilitated by Barnard’s departure in 1991). Sonny (1992) consists mainly of covers of country and traditional songs and instrumentals that are a lot like those on previous records. It’s pleasant enough, but the bass has receded into the background, the harmonicas are rarely in evidence, and there’s a sense that the band was running out of ideas. Frozen (1994) and Notes Campfire (1996) both consist of originals played at the characteristic molasses tempo. There are some great songs, especially “Before Tonight” and “Heyday,” but, at the time, there was simply no market for this kind of music, and the band fell largely silent. Even diehard fans may find these releases challenging, and the place to start for newcomers remains the three remarkable records released from 1988 to 1990.

So, I’m wondering how those who were there at the time think these songs have aged (I think they hold up really well) and how they strike those who are hearing them for the first time.

Jim Marks

Fe by Souled American

Bill Meyer: I first heard Souled American around the time of Flubber. I had people telling me how wonderful they were, and when I listened at the time, I didn't hear it at all. The music sounded kind of cartoony to me. I decided to take the albums in sequence, and I am currently halfway through. I no longer hear the vocals as caricatures. They seem like a natural synthesis of the group's interests and aptitudes. And the arrangements, which I once merely registered as kind of annoying, now sound highly idiosyncratic. I gather that the bassist, Joe Adducci, played in ska bands. Instead of toning down his assertive rhythm plus counterpoint approach to suit country-rock convention, the playing jams his style into the tunes. I haven't decided whether I like it any more, but I get how singular it is in a way that I didn't 30-odd years ago. So, I guess that listening to this music again is acqauinting me with evidence of how I've changed as a listener.

Justin Cober-Lake: I'm one of those hearing them for the first time, and I'm drawn to the early albums (probably Fe the most) for the same reason I'm drawn to artists like the Band. The music slips between time periods, between genres, between whatever else. If you'd told me that Fe was recorded 20 years earlier, I'd have believed you. It's a very earnest approach to a certain sort of country rock that came before, and I can even hear some inflections of cosmic country. I don't think Souled American fits the alt-country narrative very well at all, beyond the fact that everyone probably listened to Gram Parsons.

The "slowcore approach" that Jim mentioned definitely sets them apart from their alt-country cousins, and it feels like an element of their music that does slot into the early '90s more so than their instrumentation or influences. By the end of the discography, it begins to feel predictable -- it's hard to think, "What *is* this?" after six albums -- but until then it's very striking, and gives the first few albums a very distinctive flavor. One of the connections I wonder about is how this music connects to the current wave of ambient country (or similarly named music). We're hearing more and more music that uses pedal steel and other country instruments for non-traditional music. I'm thinking of acts like SUSS or Luke Schneider's various projects. I'm not sure there's a throughline at all here, but that gets me back to my first point about what attracts me to this music. It sort of fits into a whole bunch of places without really having a proper home.

Flubber by Souled American

Christian Carey: Timing is so important in the record industry. A band can make great music that would have gained wider currency if only they had released it when the Zeitgeist was in their favor. I think this is the case with Souled American. Imagine if the band’s first album had been released in 1996, the date of their last LP, Notes Campfire. Souled American might have fit in well in the No Depression era. Instead, they struggled with labels and sales and, perhaps inevitably, stopped releasing records. As they matured, so did Chris Grigoroff’s vocals; the earlier releases have twang and warble that are a bit too on the nose. So too did the band’s sound, moving from more straightforward production to experiments one might consider proto Wilco. Fe morphs their sound in this direction, and the songs themselves are more experimental in construction. Notes Campfire has a gloomily valedictory quality. My understanding is that Souled American still plays the occasional gig. It would be nice to see what they would do in the studio today.

Jennifer Kelly: I remember reviewing a really lovely Scott Tuma solo album for Dusted during the Otis years, and it looks like we did a couple of others as well.

This is the paragraph that addresses what has Scott been up to since Souled American.

It’s been roughly a decade since Scott Tuma played guitar in Souled American, the cultish alt.Americana outfit whose unstrung country blues inspired, among other things, Camden Joy’s “Fifty Posters About Souled American” project (and a cameo in Jonathan Lethem’s Chronic City). Since then, Tuma has contributed to the ambient explorations of the Boxhead Ensemble and, with members of Zelienople, to Good Stuff House. He has also released four solo albums that warp familiar, organic sounds into strange dream-like shapes.

Bill Meyer: As far as I know, he still lives in Chicago, but I haven't seen Tuma in years. He has continued to make albums, and discogs says that a cassette came out on Emmett Kelley's label, Haha, last year. I've heard a lot of them, and while each has its own character, they're all loose, slow, and more inclined to communicate via tone than words. While there was a time in the early aughts when you could see him reasonably often, he performed out significantly less in the years before the pandemic.

Jim Marks: Yes I gave Tuma's records short shrift in the intro. They're uniformly excellent, taking the slowcore in another direction, and I've actually listened to them more over the years than the Souled American records.

Justin Cober-Lake: Now I'm detouring into Tuma's discography, and he does something quite different. It's still in some sort of Americana-based slowcore whatever, but it doesn't sound like Souled American. I don't want to dwell on the band's decline or dissolution, but is there any connection between his changing sound and the end of Souled American. The band runs out of either steam or ideas for its last couple records, but Tuma hadn't. "Untitled 2" on The River 1 2 3 4 beautifully develops the broader aesthetic, with both a classic loveliness and innate weirdness that could have continued to drive the band (which I realize had been broken up for seven years at this point).

Sonny by Souled American

Bill Meyer: I’m only up to Sonny, which I’ve just heard for the first time ever, so my thoughts my change as I play through the final two. But on Sonny, what stands out about Tuma’s playing is the extent to which it doesn’t sound like him as I got to know him later on; instead, he plays what the music requires in order for it to be Souled American Music. This feels like the point where they drew their line vs. the rest of the world. We’re going to play so slow, our drummer quits on us. We’re going to make an album of classic country songs, and make them all sound just like us. They really double down on slow tempos and a style of singing that emphasizes emotional and locational signifiers (quavers, elongations, that rural drawl), but seems to drain them of emotion, and locates them in a place that probably doesn’t exist beyond the four walls of their rehearsal room. They seem very determined to be themselves, for better or worse pursuing some ideal form of Souled Americanness.

I should clarify, the drummer left after this record was done. At the time that record came out, their manager had a form letter responding to all Souled American queries, and in it he said that the drummer quit because he got married. Interestingly, the letter says that it took eight months to record Sonny; apparently, these guys were slow in more ways than one.

And as I s-l-o-w-l-y drawn to the conclusion of album number five, Frozen, the Tuma solo connection starts to materialize. With its more drawn-out tempos drawing everything within gravitational reach towards a strange state, this is the first record to sound anything like solo Tuma, albeit fuller and more polished than anything he did on his own. Chris Grigoroff’s singing sounds less engaged than ever with country-rock convention, and more like this one weird guy from the country singing. He sounds more emotionally invested in these songs than he did in the covers on

Sonny

, which reinforces my notion that Sonny is the record where they decided to show the world, "this is how it must be done," and they used those songs to do it.

I think this might be the record I like the most out of the five that I’ve heard.

Notes Campfire by Souled American

Jim Marks: Nice to see the later Souled American records getting some love. They were ignored or scorned at the time (I remember a particularly scathing review of Notes in the Austin Chronicle) despite having, among other charms, great accessible tunes like "Heyday" and "Before Tonight." Bill has it exactly right: this is uncompromising outsider music.

Jennifer Kelly: I am belatedly getting into all this. Have to say that I failed to make much of a connection with Fe, but I am liking Flubber a lot better, especially the parts where the country blues haze parts and you get some soul-ish vamps as on "True Swamp" and "Cupa Cowfee."

At its best, this stuff is very trance-y and transcendental, but sounds deeply rural, which makes me wonder how these city boys came to this type of music. Also, it's reminding me of some of the weirder backwoods psych we have around here, like Sunburned and Tower Recordings and MV and EE. Is there a line of influence there?

Am I right that these are just straight reissues--no extra tracks and so forth? About to tackle Around the Bend, more later.

Bill Meyer: I have never heard of a band claiming Souled American as an influence. My recollection is that in the 1990s they had a critical buzz. I believe that Mike Krassner of Boxhead Ensemble was a fan, and this influenced the decision to recruit Tuma into Boxhead in the late 1990s.

Bryon Hayes: I'm also late to the party with respect to Souled American proper. My induction into their orbit was via the series of releases that Scott Tuma recorded with members of Zelienople. Jenny's comment about trance-y and transcendental really applies to those records, but I also definitely hear it in the latter Souled American releases, especially Notes Campfire. It's my favorite of the lot; the unhurried tempos and melancholic atmospheres really resonate with me.

I'm wondering if the connection to the northeastern US backwoods psych scene has to do with the band's affiliation with Zelienople. Even though they were also from Chicago, that band seemed heavily aligned with that psychedelic folk scene. I know that Time-Lag released the first Good Stuff House recordings. That project included Tuma alongside Mike Weis and Matt Christensen from Zelienople. I'm unclear whether any of the other Souled American band members were aligned with that other band, however.

Jim Marks: Just for the record, "Tall Boy Blues," "True Swamp Too," "Torch Singer," and "Marleyphine Hank" did not appear on the original vinyl releases but were cassette- and CD-only tracks. The only thing missing from the reissue that I know of is a (fairly straight) cover of a Kris Kristofferson song that appeared on an early 2000s tribute to Kristofferson.

Around the Horn by Souled American

Chris Liberato: Something clicked for me in the last couple of weeks and I've been enjoying the heck out these records! I haven't digested them all yet, but Fe, Flubber, Frozen and Notes Campfire have all been doing it for me. Flubber is the only one that I was familiar with prior. I bought a used copy in the early aughts (at Twisted Village, rest in peace), but I couldn't get into it at the time and ended up letting it go. Like Bill, I remember being turned off by the vocals. Now I'm hearing shades of Curt Kirkwood from the Meat Puppets, Will Oldham and a little bit of Jay Farrar in the vocals -- all folks whose voices I like a lot, and who I was familiar with long before I heard Souled American. I don't know what my problem was back then.

I'd like to stay on the Meat Puppets comparison for a second because they're the band that Souled American might remind me of the most. Not in their choice of tempos, of course, but in many of the ways we've already touched on: the prominent, burpy bass (flubbery is actually is a great word to describe it's sound); the spacey, interweaving guitar lines; the cryptic and occasionally profound lyrics. Both bands have this way of blending (many of the same) genres to create something not easily classifiable. And they take a similarly unselfconscious approach to performance, especially in the vocal department. I poked around to see if the Meat Puppets comparison was a common one, but only found a couple mentions. One was in a recent Raven Sings The Blues feature with Eric Johnson of the Fruit Bats where he described Frozen as sounding like Meat Puppet's Up on the Sun but with the tape slowed WAY down." I think that's a pretty accurate description, and one that could be applied to many moments in their catalog.

Jennifer Kelly: Huh, Meat Puppets, good call, though I think of them as more rock and less Americana.

I've been listening to the live Strapping Fieldhands from the early to mid-1990s lately and hearing some commonality there as well. Also very weird and kind of offputting vocals.
