Yautja plays lurching, uncomfortable music, so it is fitting that their new album is called "The Lurch." I first met Kayhan back in approximately 2010 when I was on tour with Weekend Nachos and we stayed at Kayhan's place in Birmingham, Alabama. At the time, Kayhan was in a band called Legion (funny enough), and since then has gone on to play in several excellent hardcore and metal projects like Coliseum, Die Young, and — of course — Yautja.
Yautja's most recent record is fantastic, so I wanted to get Kayhan on the podcast to discuss how they write such weird but catchy songs. The conversation also took a detour into some of Kayhan's wild experiences working at his family's convenience store during a pandemic, so stick around for that as well.
