I've had the pleasure of knowing Massimo Usai (or Max, for short), for the last six years or so. I've watched him go from one musical project to another, and heard his music grow from experimental noise rock EPs, to completely focused full length releases. With each step and turn I've lent an attentive ear, praising him at times and providing harsh criticism when it was necessary. Luckily for me, he's appreciated all my nitpicking, and while he says I'm "not easily impressed", continues to bring me songs for my thoughts. It's nice to know your opinion is valued. Max's current group, Recs Of The Flesh, has already released two full length albums (the second of which I've reviewed here) and is set to release their third, entitled Fear, Lies and Collapsing Comets, within the next month. They've already set up a pre-order page where you can listen to and purchase their first single from the album, "You Kill". A video for it has been made for it, which you'll see below. Since I didn't really know much about the new album, I thought it'd be great to interview Max and discover more about the band, the album, and their future to share with all of you. The video below is an audio interview I did with Max, but I've transcribed it as well. |
