Interview: Radiator King

Radiator King
Adam Grundy

For the last decade, Radiator King has been the moniker of NYC-via-Boston solo artist Adam Silvestri. But since he moved to L.A. in 2021 at the urging of longtime collaborator / drummer / Dresden Dolls co-founder Brian Viglione, the two have teamed up with keyboardist Alexander Burke to form a proper band with each member contributing to the writing process. Today, Radiator King has released the video for “The Second Coming,” their garage rock-heavy single that is a crowd-pleasing anthem. I was able to connect with Silvestri for an interview about the new single and how the band responded to working with veteran producer Ted Hutt. If you’re enjoying the music video, please consider supporting Radiator King here.

Interview: Baths

Baths
Drew Beringer

Back in January, I got the opportunity to speak with Will Wiesenfeld – the artist behind Baths – about his new album Gut. It’s been nearly seven years since Wiesenfeld released his last Baths’ project, Romaplasm, and Gut is his most thorough and fully realized Baths release yet – a brutally honest look at exploring his sexuality and the impulsivity and bleakness that comes from that. Gut is also pushes Wiesenfeld’s blend of electronic music into new styles and experimentation – a thrilling 11-track journey resulting in one of 2025’s most essential records. You can catch him on tour now. Below, Will and I discuss how the record came together, how he approached the songwriting, Heyshiro Matsuoka, and getting weirder and hotter with each release.
