Astbury talks about coming up as a crooner during the post-punk era, journalists mistakenly lumping them in with hair metal, and living through the optics of nostalgia. The frontman also talks about some of the big influences on this album — including Brian Jones, William S. Burroughs, and Jack Kerouac — and also dives deep into the ecological and environmental moments that arrive throughout. We also get his takes on recent artists like Yves Tumor and how they’re part of a lineage of artists that thread around Nico & The Velvet Underground, Andy Warhol, and Pablo Picaso.
