@joemuggs.bsky.socialReposted by @briandavidstevens.bsky.socialHere's that conversation (and as ever killer pics by @briandavidstevens.bsky.social - which I think capture precisely that artistic / personal uniqueness... the whole point of these Q&As is that by seeing the person's face captured so well as you read their words you understand that little bit more)
@joemuggs.bsky.socialReposted by @briandavidstevens.bsky.socialNORWICH IN THE HOUSE @mariauzor.bsky.social keeps getting better and better - the very model of a modern artist finding their own super specific space. New album is a whole WORLD to explore. One thing: I wish I'd asked her about GOTH in our BMTatR conversation... because this is def quite goth.
