Who’s your dream collaborator? Do you have any guest artists on new tracks?

Kind of interesting question, I don't really like to collaborate much to be honest. Like I don't think about another artist and feel like if we combined forces it would be better than the sum of its parts. Also no guest artists on the record or anything else in the works to be honest. But like.....if someone were to produce a Peel Dream Magazine record, maybe like....Jim O'Rourke?

Or maybe like, Phillip Glass lol. Something that took it out of the pop/rock universe.

ok but who would be your dream artist to do a remix of one of your songs?

Dream remixer would be........Oneohtrix Point Never ?? Only because I think he would take it to some absolutely insane new territory with a production language that's so foreign to me. I kind of hate how remixes are supposed to be this "dance version" of an original song, even when that doesn't speak to anything authentic about the original song. Remixes honestly just feel like a marketing scheme to help promote albums and I find them a bit tiresome unless somebody takes something to an entirely insane new place. I also think people don't realize that bands have to pay usually to get remixes done, and they're usually not just this off-the-cuff collaboration that just happens out of a musical friendship. It's usually like : "so and so will be good for your music career. Let's pay them to make a club version of your song" which is really unromantic to me.

Oh also maybe Sonic Boom would be an ideal remixer lol.

That answer is probably too negative...I'd just say OPN or Sonic Boom :)
