Full episode available on Nadzwatson Youtube
Backseat Noise is a short-form interview and stripped-down live performance series by Cult Love focusing on noise, experimental, and other underground, fringe genres of music.

A pillar of the underground, Void is truly an artist’s artist and a unicorn of an individual, harder and harder to come by these days, carrying the spirit of a bygone era. His digital presence is minimal, his cellphone primitive, Adam Void is the last flickering flame of true Americana. He performs and creates work solo and collaboratively under his own name. He also operates the DIY, underground publishing company and distro,

Please note, this interview was altered from its original format in order to protect Adam’s identity.
