david speaks

my favorite artist, david tibet of current 93, in a recent (and might i add, extremely rare) interview:

"A lot of my work is about trying to recapture when I was happiest, in
Malaysia." Tibet's work is undercut by an absurdist humour. "If I say,
'There's the knock at the door; it could be Christ returning', I fully
realise it could also be the postman. I'm aware that people can listen to
what we do, be charitable, and still think I'm insane."

That said, a recent concert hall tour of Europe found him playing to
1,000-strong audiences. "I'm not an evangelist," he says. "Current is about trying to explain myself to myself and to work out my own salvation."
