V&V Episode 135 Lynn Standafer(Enduser) & Hive's Devious Methods

Very excited to have Lynn Standafer a.k.a. Enduser join me today to discuss an album that he considers to be a very influential album to him. And if you know Enduser’s work, that probably comes as no surprise. Now the question is, what do you know about Mike Bell a.k.a. Hive and his 1998 album Devious Methods. Well, probably not much. And I’m sure not for lack of trying. So in more exciting news about this episode, I actually reached out to Mike directly because I couldn’t find much of anything about him or his album, and thankfully he got back to me and agreed to answer some questions from Lynn and me. And I will share that with you here. Follow the link to my website where you can read the whole interview.  https://psychic-static.com/written-interviews/

And if you know and like Devious Methods, I strongly encourage you to listen to Enduser’s new album, Unquiet, available through Decay recordings. Similar in some ways, but unique in that there is also an ambient quality to it. Listen here and decide for yourself. And if you love it, pick up a vinyl copy today. https://end-user.bandcamp.com/album/enduser-unquiet
