For my latest interview, I recently spoke with Peder (formerly 1/3 of THE PRUNES, who famously remixed The Beastie Boys) about his latest album, The Coldest Man Alive. Plus, we spoke about Peder working with Shield, Al Kooper, his new boutique library label, boxing, the lasting influence of David Lynch, and making "dusty 50's prom music from your sweet nightmares." Also, shout-out to Evan Field for the new Death Metal-indebted The Witzard alt. logo!
