In this interview, I speak with returning guest Keanan Duffty about the latest developments in his musical project Slinky Vagabond and the release of the new acoustic album Acoustic New Romantic. Our conversation explores the origins of Slinky Vagabond, the relationship between Duffty’s work in music and fashion, and the collaborative approach that has defined the project over the years. We discuss the contributions of musicians including Earl Slick, Ava Cherry, Mike Garson, David Torn, Clem Burke, and Midge Ure, as well as the process of bringing together artists from different musical backgrounds and generations. We also examine the influences that shaped the new record, including the New Romantic movement, glam rock, art rock, and electronic music, and consider how those influences continue to resonate in contemporary music and culture. Along the way, Duffty reflects on creativity, artistic risk-taking, collaboration, design, technology, space themes, and the enduring connections between music, fashion, and visual culture that have informed his work throughout his career.
