Today, I’m joined by the legendary David J Haskins of the iconic post-punk bands Bauhaus and Love and Rockets. He’s here to talk about two powerful, intertwined new releases: a poetry collection titled Rhapsody, Threnody & Prayer and a companion album, The Mother Tree—his most personal work to date, created in tribute to his late mother.
We discuss memory, grief, creativity, his upcoming tour, other upcoming projects, and what’s next for Love and Rockets. I've had the pleasure of talking to David twice before, and he has always made for a captivating chat. This time proved no different.
So, enjoy the interview and stick around afterwards, when we’ll close with the epic title track from The Mother Tree.
David J Haskins new poetry book Rhapsody, Threnody & Prayer and album The Mother Tree drop June 6, via Fonograph Media and Erototox Decodings. You can pre-order at davidjhaskins.com.
