What band did you discover in 2025 (can be a brand new band or an older band) that had an impact on your life? How so?
Studio, I pay attention to most of what Ghostly is up to. This is something that somehow slipped past me in 2006, I was definitely into this kind of sound, but I am so glad that Ghostly reissued this. Something great for relaxing and for driving.
How will you remember 2025 (in terms of music)?
It was the beginning of my hiatus, I decided to not play any live music and focus on what makes me happy, mainly visual art and writing.
What can we look forward to from you in 2026?
LOCRIAN 5xCD boxset collection everything from 2005 - 2009 that we did on CDRs and cassettes for like 25 people. The last AXEBREAKER album. MOTHER OF SIGHS follow up.
What records are you looking forward to most in 2026?
The new Soft Pink Truth!
Singles rule the music scene right now. How has that affected you as a band or label? Has it influenced your approach to new releases or touring?
No one told me. It has no effect, nothing wrong with them I suppose. I just don't even think about it, Most singles are the worst track on an album anyway. I am an album type of person.
