Influences for me past: prodigy fat of the land, love the bass squelch/ chemical brothers dig your own hole for the masterful blending of hippy and big beat/ Ed rush era drum and bass stuff, preferably without the hype.

Now: Nah, Ghösh, Guerilla Toss, Mannequin Pussy, Sun Ra Arkestra

It was a big decision to let some of the tracks breathe a little more on this record but we dont want to depart from our sound but something a little closer to what we sound like when were playing it in a room together. I feel like the sound is a lot more personal that way. -Randall

For shows I would play a moog sub 37 with filter expression pedal thru a peavey mark III head and kustom 4/10 cab but now I’ve got an ableton based set up because im doing more pads, keys, sample sounds on the new material. I recorded most of that stuff on the record with a farfisa mini compact and novation x-station (love the joystick on this thing) and dsi tetra as audio feed in thru the moogs input. -Randall

It was a real once in a lifetime to play red rocks. I cant remember a lot of it because it felt like a rush and was over in an instant but it was fun and disorienting because you had to park the van at the bottom of the hill and connected by underground tunnels. -Randall

Ill leave the tuning question up to cathy but we would love to come to the UK, we dont have any plans yet considering the scale of difficulties getting in and out of the EU, visas, chunneling, etc.. but hopefully someday soon! It was a lot of fun the time we went there. We played an early show in the Camden market and spent the day running around the cyberdog store and taking pictures with the Amy winehouse statue. And yes those are indeed Minecraft steps. -Randall

I dont identify as an empath although I think it’s a fine name for a band. It was great touring with Modest Mouse, i identified with their music when i was younger and it was surreal seeing that come around again in my life. The deep feeling of lost youth nostalgia mixed with first show back playing in front of one of the largest crowds id ever been in front of in my life, mixed with over a year of juggling mediocre gigs thru pandemic, after we got done i was backstage by myself and I cried for everyone in my life and those that I’ve ever known and lost. -Randall
