  • Maynard James Keenan of Puscifer and co-vocalist Carina Round talk about their killer new album Existential Reckoning, singing together, what makes Puscifer feel unique, Maynard's early days on the asparagus field, his life as a man of the earth and what it has taught him about the absurdity of the world, 2001: A Space Odyssey and Monty Python, his world view and much more.
    MAYNARD JAMES KEENAN INTERVIEW CONTENT GUIDE:
    00:16 Maynard on whether new album relates to Carina’s description of her experience of the band which could be likened to 2001: A Space Odyssey, Monty Python and Close Encounters of the Third Kind or my experience of the record: 2001: A Space Odyssey, a filthy goth club and a twisted futuristic yet retro world of 1970’s super computers.
    01:52 Mat Mitchell’s obsession with the Fairlight, shades of Art of Noise, Peter Gabriel, dancing. Boogie ’til you can’t.
    02:55 The absurdity of now, Twitter, missing limbs, laughing the hardest.
    03:47 Being a man of the earth and Mother Nature vs. the dark digital world.
    06:21 Peach orchards, picking asparagus, singing in the fields.
    07:54 Harmonising with Carina and her first Puscifer audition, the core, the story, the recipe.
    09:32 Obsessions while recording; the world around us; his family & Dad jokes.

    There's an antiquated but effective interview technique that could work wonders for Christina.
    It's basically this - you ask a question and then you shut the fuck up and let them answer without jumping in.

    Everything about the individual is important to that individual . The same thing that causes dreamers to come together to dream and congregate upon a common vision or goal is the same reason that vision or goal will never be completely realized . There is always a counterforce to keep it in check and provide Balance . We don't all dream the same dream .

    Man what a great interview with Maynard, I wish he didn't get cut off so quickly! I didn't realize these guys had a new album out - I'm excited to check it out despite being thoroughly underwhelmed by the last Tool and APC albums, because Money Shot was excellent.

    It's a shame that Maynard and Carina are always the main focal point of Puscifer. Why does no one seem to want to dive into the music making process with Matt, the real creative brain behind Puscifer's music?
