Radio Entropia Interview

Radio Reverb 2012
The guys were allowed to pick three tracks, one of which had to be their own. They brought Chim Chim Cher-ee, some nice guitar music by Thurston Moore and a track from the upcoming Henri Gaobi project they’ve been working on for the past years. The whole affair ended with an airing of Rescue Squad. The interview is touches on quite a lot of different topics. The guys talk about some of the usual subjects, but also about being recognised in public areas you don’t want to be recognised, and Olly’s career in porn (yes). So worth a listen, I’d say.
