The Prince and the Mozzer/Wizardzz


Taken from a very good interview with Jamie Stewart by Brandon Stosuy:

BS: ... [Y]ou attract some intense youngsters at your shows. Like teenagers or people in their early ’20s who are thumping their chests and getting super emotional.

JS: People are incredibly generous with how much they'll give of themselves to us. They’re so fearless with their feelings. I’m blown away by them.

BS: Do you ever feel like Morrissey?

JS: I feel like a figurine of a figurine of Morrissey. Did you know that Morrissey calls Prince "Ponce?" I wonder if they know each other or if it's like dirty looks at Spago.


There's nothing i can add to that...

In other news, you will likely enjoy the Wizardzz's album The Hidden City of Tarmound (my review.) Like everything on Load records, it's got one of the guys from Lightning Bolt (the bassist) playing (drums) on it, and one other dude. It's less crazy and saturated than Lightning Bolt and a little more video game/fantasy, with great synth tones and dragon-conjuring melodies as well as some ambient-influenced ideas.
