Owen Williams from the Tubs discusses their excellent album, Cotton Crown, DADGAD guitar tuning and affinities for artists like Big Star, Richard Thompson, and SZA, how the humour in his music can be overlooked for its sentimentality, his unique musical upbringing and penchant for misbehaviour as a young teen, processing his mother’s suicide, his prose writing background, starting Perfect Angel Press, and updates about two of his novels, what Gob Nation is all about and spitting on people, Sonic Youth and Superchunk allusions, touring, working on a new album, other future plans, and much more.
