Joining the pod this week is none other than returning champion and longtime F.O.T.S. Tayves Yosef Pelletier aka the mighty King Yosef! 

We’re talking all about his nerve-racking 2024 touring schedule, tapping mentor and collaborator Kurt Ballou once again for work on his phenomenal sophomore LP, ‘Spire of Fear,’ putting out records through his independent Bleakhouse label, rocking singalongs with Japanese salarymen, and recording music videos inside an abandoned nuclear reactor.

(Editor’s Note: Yes, my host audio got majorly VOIP’d and it’s artifacted up the wazoo. But it’s also very industrial and goth and cool-sounding by design, actually. You’re welcome 🦾)

Follow King Yosef, purchase/stream ‘Spire of Fear’ (out now via Bleakhouse), and grab tickets for all upcoming shows here: https://www.kingyosef.com/
