We talk to Eliza about fanfic, true crime, the internet and the TV adaptation of Boy Parts that we've all been hoping for. Music by Agriculture.

The Putrescine/Kosmogyr Interview

DEATH // SENTENCE ·

2022/10/05

Hark, wary traveler: Today, Langdon ventures out alone to feast, to hunt, to kill. Also they interview a returning Trevor from Putrescine and Ivan from Kosmogyr about their recent split LP DESOLATE TIDES. All being pretty bored of standard interview shapes and topics, the results are more a conversation than drilling into what inspired them to write sick riffs. (The inspiration is that riffs are very sick and it's cool to write sick riffs.) FEATURED MUSIC: Putrescine - "The Accursed" Kosmogyr -
