AIAIAI interviews Com Truise


"Sometimes you forget that great musicians, however talented or famous, are usually unassuming individuals who don’t really go for pretension. For the most part, the gifted artists we’ve come across avoid self-mythologizing and let their music do the talking. On the other hand, popular culture tends to have a different view on this. The myth of the self-important, arrogant creative permeates so much of contemporary, popular discourse that remembering the inescapable fact that artists are just people is easy to forget."


"Maybe that was part of the reason why I couldn’t help preparing myself for interviewing an ego the size of an American football field before I met Com Truise AKA Seth Haley one November evening prior to his show at Dunkel Bar in Copenhagen. His epic, retro-futuristic-yet-modern, melancholy-yet-uplifting synthesizer-funk did also nudge my expectation towards an encounter with a sci-fi fetishist of a megalomaniac persuasion. The reasoning behind the latter, I suppose, was that anyone who makes otherworldly tracks that sound like a stoned Rick Ross leaving Earth to soar through the outer rings of Saturn in a supermodified DeLorean had to be at least a little pompously inclined."
