Por entre toques de modernidade sem perder os ares nostálgicos, o projeto uuskhy, escrito em caixa baixa mesmo, existe desde 1999, e não se identifica, creio eu, com nada feito atualmente, ok, pode até se conectar em determinadas passagens mas o resultado final soa estranho se a intenção for rotular o trabalho do uuskhy.
"Drain the Marker" é o mais recente trabalho, sucessor de T+d (ego-d suuite) do ano passado. A grande diferença aqui é a adição mais intensa dos vocais, e o uso cada vez mais carregado de samplers. Tudo é combustível para o uuskhy, seja o industrial oitentista, seja baladas quase bregas também da década perdida, a escola Wax Trax chegando até beirar algo como Moby.
Inclassificável, complexo e instigante, assim é o uuskhy.

***** Interview with uuskhy *****
uuskhy began in 1999, with a composition entitled 'the hunt' (which was never released). the project has generated musical material under myriad monikers, but materialized as uuskhy once the mixing/mastering engineer decided to refrain from claiming personal responsibility.
Q: Who are your influences?
uuskhy's main influences are 'the conspiracy against the human race'by thomas ligotti, and empathy.
Q. Make a list of 5 albuns of all time…
uuskhy will never have enough knowledge to decisively create such a list. however, 'luxury problems' by andy stott is playing right now.
Q. How do you feel playing live?
uuskhy has performed once. it felt cathartic. it was both the greatest and worst show they ever played.
Q. How do you describe uuskhy´s sounds?
a pastiche assembled thru growing up in midwest america and being very confused by the weather.
Q: Tell us about the process of recording the songs ?
all uuskhy songs are recorded in the dark with nothing but a computer, logic pro 9 (academic version), and a strict set of parameters. only a webcam microphone was used in the recording of 'Drain the maker'.
Q. Which new bands do you recommend?
uuskhy listens to 'nemui pj', 'the department of anytime', and 'iverson 2.1.4'
Q: Which band would you love to made a cover version of?
uuskhy would love to be covered by tara the android
Q: What are your plans for the future?
additional videos will be created for 'Drain the maker'. the next one will take place at a chicago cubs baseball game.
Q: Any parting words?
thank you for listening to 'Drain the maker', and for your interest in my words.
