Jason Chronis

This is the third of the interviews I shot in Austin -- the second has been retired, amidst a mutual agreement with the artist. Camera failures led to a re-shoot, and it just wasn't quite what we had hoped. It happens.

Jason is one of the most interesting artists I've ever met, with an amazing record collection. He's also someone whose work I've been a big fan of for years, so it was pretty exciting to get a chance to talk with him. Oddly enough we didn't end up going into much detail about Belaire, but Cari pretty much had that covered last year anyway.

We did, however, talk about JC & Co and the upcoming album, he gave me a pretty solid Voxtrot update (and let me listen to some choice bootlegs!), and we even talked a bit about their LP leak and current indie music culture. All in all, probably one of my favorite pieces so far!
