It verges on tiresome to list the number of idiosyncrasies which have come to define the public persona of New York-based producer Zomby, but “elusive” and “outspoken” are easily at the top of his seeming character traits. As he’s more interested to mouth-off on Twitter than he is to engage in a proper interview, XLR8R was unable to talk with the artist in preparation for our Deep Inside feature on his brand-new With Love album for 4AD, but now, a Q&A with Zomby has surfaced which was actually conducted in person. The piece appeared today over on Pitchfork, and features an introduction almost as long as the conversation itself.
