Just got to the GQ piece, great read.

Winter puts it less lightly. “The whole point of the album was to indulge ourselves, and it was indulgent as hell,” he says, pointing to a minute-long drone at the end of that opening track, “2122,” that the label wanted trimmed to five seconds or less. “We considered saying f*** you, but we were told by everyone in our camp ‘You are not in a position to come to the table right now with your own opinions.’ They were right. We had no fans. I was so depressed.”

Wtf, this would've been cool

“He worked his ass off recording Heavy Metal,” his dad, Stewart, tells me via text. “I once descended the stairs past midnight, expecting to find a home intruder and instead found Cameron with a soldering iron, hunched over a piece of gear, discussing vocal chains on speakerphone with a thickly Hungarian-accented interlocutor. He didn’t even look at me.”

Upbin wanted a weepy number called “Try As I May” excised and another, “Love Takes Miles,” re-recorded to get to its possible pop essence. (To be fair, “Love Takes Miles” has been streamed seven million times on Spotify and has become something of a TikTok hit, soundtracking videos of kittens and teddy bears and prompting lots of acoustic covers. Blume says Winter once told him, “I f***ing hate that song.”)

“Kenny’s one of the smartest people I know, so he’s good at arguing even when he’s wrong—a cutting wit, too,” says Winter, laughing. He worries that Blume will remind him, again, how little he’s getting paid to shepherd Geese’s records, that making Getting Killed over two months rather than two weeks cost him money. “I personally don’t give a s***. I love the guy, but I can’t think about it like that. I don’t care if you’re doing this for $5, Kenny. I still want my groove.”

I was beginning to lose hope in the youth when it comes to music, but this band has brought me back to the table. All in on these guys.
