Airøspace talks attending nightmarish boarding schools, drumming in metal bands, spending time in a psych ward as a kid, and performs “Sorry to Bother You” live in studio

I came across Airøspace in a Twitter thread. I asked people to put me on to new music, and out of the hundreds of responses, 2020’s Senjougahara Hitagi, Vol. IV tape really stood out. His 2019 release Sorry to Bother You further solidified how asleep I’d been. 

He lives in DC, and trying to arrange an episode of KN during the pandemic became touch and go due to the fact my wife was approaching her due date during the week he was in town. My wife was having contractions the evening we recorded the episode , but we weren’t sure if was actual labor or not. We left for the hospital an hour after I finished talking to Airø, and my son was born the next day.

Tune in to hear us talk about attending nightmarish boarding schools, drumming in metal bands, and spending time in a psych ward as a kid.
