In the year of our lord 2026, it’s very easy for things to feel very dystopian. If you’re looking for the perfect soundtrack to this, THE UNCRTN may have just provided it in their new EP Machine out now.
Val, Tyler and Sonia discuss shedding old identities, the story behind The Drifter, and the making of “BAD FOR ME,” featuring Ricky Armellino. Plus, we get into the creative vision behind the EP’s visual world, dream collaborations, the New York music scene, and whether the music industry really understands what heavy music fans want.
What does it take to build something meaningful in a world that can feel increasingly dehumanizing? THE UNCRTN have some thoughts.
Vigorously with Val Kleinhans has new episodes weekly.
