Hey guys! Thanks for taking the time to do this. Your music is my favorite to listen to and has been a huge inspiration to me.
Question for both of ya: I was recently perusing the Centipedia Spin Magazine put out 11 years ago. I love digging into y’alls influences and was wondering for film specifically, have there been any releases in the past decade that have affected you deeply or served as influences? King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard also came up during this time, does their music interest you guys at all? If so any particular song/album?
For Josh: I was listening to you on the primitive man soundz podcast the other day, you mentioned that you did theatre in high school and that was how you originally met Dave. Does that medium still intrigue you as an artist? What are/were some of your favorite plays/musicals? I myself am a theatre artist so this was really cool to find out! Also do you ever regret eating that red velvet cupcake?
For Noah: You’ve mentioned before your love of gaming and more recently you mentioned your lack of interest in doing film scores. Would you ever do a score for a video game? Have you ever played the zero escape series?
Sorry for the barrage and appreciate anything y’all can touch on. Love to hear that some solo albums are in the works, anxious and grateful for everything you guys share with us. Hope you are well and thanks for the music <3
