The band’s mastermind Scott Conner shares his thoughts:
“I like the idea of creating whatever I can, whatever I know how to, or even what I don’t necessarily know how to. Doing it anyway, doing my take on it, taking it into some other level. I don’t ever feel the need to pick or typecast myself as one thing and be limited to that one thing for the rest of my life, contrary to popular belief.”
According to the press release:
“Parallel to ‘Inevitably Dark,’ Xasthur will release a limited red transparent vinyl LP entitled ‘Rehearsals 1997-1999’ on June 23, 2023, which contains ten nameless tracks that were recorded with the aid of nameless musicians on a cassette Walkman at Conner’s home. These have previously been released on a CDR of which less than a 100 were made in 2013. ‘Rehearsals 1997-1999’ will also be available on regular black vinyl.”

Scott – 12 & 6-string Guild, Martin and Taylor acoustic guitars, B.C Rich 6 string electric guitars, B.C Rich Bass, Roland and Yamaha Keyboards, tambourine, and Boss DR 660/770 drum machine
