El Perro del Mar is merely an extension of me that enables me to do and say the things which I find hard to express in daily life. I’ve been using the name since 2004 when I came across a stray dog on a Spanish beach...
It's three of my characters, Enth, Ila, and Izi, trying to figure out where they are through a fog in the middle of nowhere...
It’s a lot to ask nowadays, but we’d love for people to listen to the record as a whole since we made it with the intention of flowing like in full from start to finish.
I think more than anything, me making music came purely from expression. All growing up I was definitely not an artist or anything like that. It was more of a recent thing...
I wanted it to feel like acceptance. Saying acceptance makes it feel a bit stiff, when really the vibe is like, f*** yeah everybody, hell yeah, and if you can’t get down with this, f*** off...

Obviously, it is much easier to keep in touch, exchange files and information. But nothing compares to the real organic work. That’s where the magic begins and it’s impossible to achieve it through the synthetic connection. Especially when the music is spontaneous and interactive...
The role that labels used to play pre-internet adoption had much more to do with building up an artist, and getting them to where they need to be to become superstars. Today, the artist builds themselves up on their own...
You enter this wormhole, the room disappears and you're thrown into a bunch of patterns, and stuff like that. There wasn't a lot of color...
Nearly every Thursday night, we would park our cars at Comps and have a listening party for which ever rap album we chose to listen to when the clock struck midnight...
I would still argue that there is something deeply troubling about the “McMindfulness” that people are becoming more aware of - that is, mindfulness used in the service of improving productivity, well-being or focus...
I had no planned coverage until 4:00pm the first day to cover Paris Texas so my time was spent conversing with the other media members in attendance...
Let’s see we’ve got: hot pink bitch named breakfast, crazy frog, king palms, tetris, thembofication, sophie is god, cringe comps, poggers, poppers, frogger, früh, nightcore-beyonce, vineyard vines, maroon 5...
I think more than anything, me making music came purely from expression. All growing up I was definitely not an artist or anything like that. It was more of a recent thing...
I think we all assembled by sheer proximity, the sheer desire to partake in a lot of substances, needing one core activity to tie us all together...

I don't remember that much about making the album...
Ugly Mane is a catch-all for whatever creative drainage leaks out of me. I think it's a dumb name that makes most people immediately write me off and not investigate what I do purely based on the preconception of how dumb the name is. I like that...
Originally, it was just cool imagery. We found this vintage bunny on eBay, and it became a studio mascot. Then we said we should just make it the album cover because it's been through the whole ride.
The concept for reverse nightmare tower was actually inspired by my friend who sent me an unpublished script/rough draft idea for a game/visual novel style thingy he was making...
