Episode 55: David J Haskins Talks New Dual Releases ‘The Mother Tree’ and ‘Rhapsody, Threnody & Prayer’: musician of Bauhaus/ Love & Rockets fame waxes poetic on album and book of prose.
Today, I’m joined by the legendary David J Haskins of the iconic post-punk bands Bauhaus and Love and Rockets. He’s here to talk about two powerful, intertwined new releases: a poetry collection titled Rhapsody, Threnody & Prayer and a companion album, The Mother Tree—his most personal work to date, created in tribute to his late mother.
We discuss memory, grief, creativity, his upcoming tour, other upcoming projects, and what’s next for Love and Rockets. I’ve had the pleasure of talking to David twice before, and he has always made for a captivating chat. This time proved no different.
