For local artists I’m really into Thunder Speaks atm plus s t e p h i, St Morris Sinners, Hepe Matèh, Heinous Crimes, The Genevieves, Bjèar.

MOTEL VOID: You’ve just released a new album ËNDLËSS. Could you tell us more about the recording and writing process of this record?

SONS OF ZÖKU (RICARDO): This record came from a more inward perspective, looking within ourselves for answers or to at least make useful questions that could guide us towards something more meaningful.

For the recording part was a pretty simple process, laying down normally the rhythm section first followed by overdubbing the rest of the colours according to what we felt each song needed.

MOTEL VOID: Who is your biggest inspiration right now?

SONS OF ZÖKU (RICARDO): Fleet Foxes, Michael Giacchino and Mdou Moctar.

MOTEL VOID: Your plans for 2024?
