Genre-defying artist Ray Hawthorne has just announced his latest album, Ray Hawthorne Sucks (available Nov 7th), alongside his latest single, "Body Count."
The self-described "emo muppet" says of the track: "I have very little self control. Like almost none. I can get addicted to pretty much anything, and if it exists I’ve probably overdone it at some point. Whether something is generally considered good or bad for you, I will beat that shit into the ground until I just can’t do it anymore. So “Body Count” is about just fucking running. Causing problems and running so far away from them that your avoidance becomes a new problem in itself. Sometimes I feel like my life is just a continuous loop of ignoring things until I find myself back at square one. But hey, it is what it is, I guess when you stop doing drugs you just find new ways to fuck up your life. Even if that new way is a consistent and ever increasing hunt for rare Ninja Turtles figures."
I recently had the pleasure of chatting with Ray about Ninja Turtles, Yu-Gi-Oh!, his inspirations, sobriety, and much more! Check out our chat with the rising star below...
