This Best of Peak Time episode revisits interviews with some of our favorite purveyors of moody and dark sounds. Zola Jesus expounds on the trauma and beauty involved in her recent Okovi record, while her Sacred Bones labelmate Luis Vasquez (aka The Soft Moon) deconstructs his post-punk deconstructions. Goth-pop superstar Robert Alfons of TR/ST opens Pandora's box, Heather Gabel of Chicago industrial duo HIDE discusses screaming it all out and Hether Fortune heals her demons under the guise of Wax Idols. Also on today's show: Stuart Argabright of Ike Yard and Black Rain discusses the fertile musical climate of New York in the late '70s and early '80s and Fade Kainer talks selling punk shirts on St. Marks Place and ditching metal bands to start industrial duo Statiqbloom.
