1. Thank you very much for your time! Before we introduce your new release to our readers – what kind of drink would you recommend to zip on while they listen to your new music?
For a non-alcoholic example, I would say a Dr. Pepper or a ripoff version found in a gas station. For an alcoholic example I’d say a kalimotxo – it’s just equal parts red wine and dark soda.
2. Please give us an update about – new single, new album, tour dates, new videos?!
I just wrapped up my tour earlier in June/July, however I will be releasing new music in the Fall to celebrate some of the rejected tracks from Aphantasia. Quite a few weird and wild songs had been kept off of it for the sake of keeping it from being too long, but I will be releasing those and some video accompaniment soon. Alongside that there are some remixes I plan on releasing, and I am working on my next few releases already.
Ideally I will be touring more in the Winter and Summer.
3. We live in times of many conspiracy theories. Which, harmless, theory would you wish were true? (For example Dinos living inside Earth or E.T. living in a home in California)
I unfortunately don’t think that most conspiracy theories are truly harmless anymore, it seems like most seem to go back to being that Jewish people are hiding things from us. However as a Jewish person, I love the Flat Earth as a concept.
4. What fashion style or brand would best describe your music?
Issey-Miyake-but-Gorpcore.
5. Tell us more about your songs! Topics! Message!?
All of my music is about dealing with the consequences of being alive and how you have to make it everyone’s problems. Even the instrumentals.
6. Beside music, do you have any special talents?
I am an avid embroiderer, 3D artist and I have recently been interested in taking up weaving.
7. Name 5 things we all should know about you as an artist?!
1. My name is KERUB
5. My pronouns are they/them
8. The road so far…. who or what was your biggest support??
My biggest support has always been and always will be random weirdos. Whether they’re queer anarchists in a pub in St John’s or a radio DJ for 25 years at a club in Calgary, I have always been celebrated by those who are on the margins of what people consider „proper“.
9. A question you’d like to answer, but never been asked in an interview before?! + Answer pls
How do you cope being an icon in both fashion and every other form of art? I make do.
