A lot of the imagery you use in your lyrics is quite nostalgic and seventies-oriented – poppers, leather, Tom of Finland…
It kind of romanticises that.
Is it just the aesthetic you’re drawn to, or is it a reflection of what you’re into sexually?
I don’t know – I’m pretty open minded, but I wouldn’t say I have a specific fetish. And I definitely don’t like poppers.
Is it the smell or the effect?
The smell.
Sweaty socks.
Is that what it smells like? It’s just disgusting. It’s OK, I guess – it just gives you a headache. But I have friends who really like it – they’ll masturbate by themselves with poppers, spill it all over their futon…
… and then set themselves on fire…
Yeah, they have a post-masturbation cigarette and the whole room goes up in flames. That’d be a romantic idea. Burning up through self-abuse.
