What are your top five albums that were released in 2023? (In order 1-5)
- Earth - Earth 2.23 Special Lower Frequency Mix
- Bardo Pond - Bardo Pond Vol. 3
- Body Stuff - Body Stuff 4
Not that I’m a fan of remasters, but the 2023 Cherubs’ Icing and PJ Harvey’s I Inside the Old Year Dying.
What band did you discover in 2023 (can be a brand new band or an older band) that had an impact on your life? How so?
Hayden Thompson and Cliff Carlisle, when their slower more vulnerable songs like “16.88” and “Seven Years With the Wrong Woman,” “Memories That Haunt Me” resonate with me more than their other songs.
How will you remember 2023 (in terms of music)?
It wasn’t a very active year in music for me personally regarding discovering new music that I liked, although a couple of bands I really like released stuff that I personally liked and went to a couple of shows. But more importantly, overall it felt like everyone was back at it, getting to work on their creative passions, getting to work. We created our single and starting to book shows again. So, to me, how would
I remember 2023 in terms of music would be getting back on the grind.
What can we look forward to from you in 2024?
Definitely another single or EP, and hitting the road, more live shows.
What records are you looking forward to most in 2024?
I’m sure, releases from my same favorite bands who are still active.
With physical media sales seemingly less popular than ever, what are some the best ways that fans can help to support the musicians when they go to a live show?
If they really want to support us, come to our shows and also buy anything tangible and physical that would be memorable and mean something to them from our merch table.
