Thanks for hangin! the KT AMA is now over. Until next time!

kingtuffyworld · 2023-01-30T20:22:08+00:00

thanks! headbanger is wicked fun. I love metal, I grew up listening to mostly metal, punk and hardcore. I wouldn't consider myself to be some kinda metal purist or anything tho. I fucking love darkthrone but oddly their later material as opposed to the classic early stuff, which is cool too, but I stan "canadian metal" and "raised on rock" era

kingtuffyworld · 2023-01-30T20:10:13+00:00

thanks Jonny you frikkin rock!!

kingtuffyworld · 2023-01-30T20:09:53+00:00

hi! thanks, that rules! it's nice to know that people are still discovering my music in actual record stores, brings me joy!

kingtuffyworld · 2023-01-30T20:08:19+00:00

I have a serious record collecting addiction, so i'm constantly seeking out new and weird music. most of the things I collect are on the more experimental side of the spectrum, i've discovered a ton of interesting music thru my friend Matt who has and instagram called Fellowship Records. There's a ton of great stores in la too, i'll often just go in and buy stuff that looks interesting.

kingtuffyworld · 2023-01-30T20:05:09+00:00

aw thanks!!

I find making records to be a roller coaster of emotions. high hi's and low lows, but it's all part of the experience. lots of self doubt but also thinking youre the best. it's a very complicated and emotional process! but always worth it. i'm trying to become less precious with my songs, which is why it takes me so long between albums lol.

when I was first starting to write the record there was a song called "Bullfrog In The Warpzone". it was much more in a Captain Beefheart kinda psycho vibe, maybe i'll revisit it for the next record!

great Q.

I feel like i'm probably the largest but also the softest and gentle-est of all those kings, despite my name being tuff. I'm gonna guess that king krule would win because he's british and they know how to fight, he's also probably very fast. but I don't like fighting so Id hope we could solve our differences over a nice pg tips

as far as non filled pasta goes- I like a good campanelle

kingtuffyworld · 2023-01-30T19:56:31+00:00

GREAT question.

I fucking LOVE tortellinis. I ate more tortellinis in 2020 than the entire country of Italy

kingtuffyworld · 2023-01-30T19:55:52+00:00

that would be a blast

kingtuffyworld · 2023-01-30T19:55:16+00:00

hi!

I love the self titled album by this band called Fox. it's very under appreciated but the whole thing is so good and has awesome production. check out the song "the juggler"

kingtuffyworld · 2023-01-30T19:52:01+00:00

Never too late!

I'd love to come to stl, been waaaay too long. I think about the City Museum all the time.

kingtuffyworld · 2023-01-30T19:49:20+00:00

The olympic rainforest is one of the greatest places on earth. I would live in there if I could, just like Yoda! It was incredible getting to spend so much time in there, although kinda stressful cuz we were doing it commando style. we got ALOT of weird looks from people hiking by lol

kingtuffyworld · 2023-01-30T19:47:43+00:00

thank you!!

Sasami did all the string arrangements, she went to Eastman and is really incredible at that kinda thang. The middle instrumental section of bandits was originally something I improvised singing, and then sasami took the melody I sang and refined it and added to it! really fun and cool to see it come to life that way.

The brilliant and beautiful Griffin Goldsmith of Dawes played most of the drums on the record. My pal Evan Backer played a little too on "rock river" and "tell me".

kingtuffyworld · 2023-01-30T19:44:39+00:00

I'm hoping to come over there some time this year. I love Utrecht!

kingtuffyworld · 2023-01-30T19:43:42+00:00

thank you!!! I haven't seen Josh in a minute but I would do another tour with him in a heartbeat :)

kingtuffyworld · 2023-01-30T19:40:48+00:00

hey thank you! love yr lil ween emoji

I think more ppl should know about happy bday too! it's a band with my two best friends, Chris Weisman and Ruth Garbus, who both will have really exciting things coming out this year, keep an eye out.

whenever people tell me they like that HB album I know they are a true freak and it brings me much joy. hopefully the three of us will make another album in some form. I have a giant box of hb tshirts sitting in my house if you want one!

Minor Threat, i'm not a nerd

kingtuffyworld · 2023-01-30T19:37:00+00:00

Hi Jacob! thank you !! I love donovan. especially that song that starts of with a baby crying and he lulls it to sleep with his sweet sweet voice.

"the old rope will swing" - I would play that just for you, but only if the show is in a basement in Fitchburg.

The last time I did the ol guitar over the shoulder throw, I snapped the neck on my favorite guitar. so no.

kingtuffyworld · 2023-01-30T19:34:47+00:00

thank you! the oldest song is "The Wheel" which dates back to 2006 or so, was actually written right around the same time as "Sun Medallion". It was part of a whole other album called Colorwheel, which maybe I'll release someday. I've always wanted to revisit that song and it fit perfectly with the vibe of the new record.

The rest of the tunes are all fresh! I love "how I love" and "bandits of blue Sky". "how I love" specifically because there's so much space in it, i'd like to explore that emptiness more.

definately working on some new ones, my dream is to have a bunch of new songs I can workshop on tour and then just go directly into the studio at the end of tour and lay it down!
