about
Andrew Cox grew up in California on a dilapidated resort full of haunted buildings, one of which graces the cover of his first album, Amnesty. The property was owned by the Unification Church, a waning seventies cult of acid casualties and ex-flower children turned conservatives who worshipped a Korean messiah. After a strange upbringing, Andrew Cox went on to graduate from Calarts, and has worked for Hydra Head Records since 2007. He's directed videos for Old Man Gloom, Torche, and Helms Alee, created live projections for Prurient and Vatican Shadow, and worked with many others including Jesu and Sigur Rós. He also plays drums in Andraus. In Axed Crown he does nearly everything himself: recording, production, artwork. He plays and programs all of the instruments, with occasional help ("Solless" features his brother and Andraus guitarist Austin Cox). Perhaps that solitude is why these songs feel haunted. The ghosts of those empty buildings from his past, and the cassette-taped voices of religious leaders leak into the tracks.
