Former O Emperor front man Paul Savage has released his new single, All The Time To Kill, under his new guise of Whozyerman. We asked him the BIG questions . . .
Following the sad end of Waterford band O Emperor and their Choice Music Prize-winning final album Jason - released at the end of 2018 - guitarist and vocalist Savage has now taken a left turn and embarked on a solo career in the psychedelic world of DIY bedroom-pop.
Influenced by Krautrock, David Byrne, the pop psychedelia of Lemon Jelly, and maybe a soupçon of Animal Collective, All The Time To Kill is the lead single from Whozyerman?'s debut full-length album, which is due later this year.
Tell us three things about yourself?
I really hate steel drums. I believe the Aldi biscuit Just Delicious (but formally known as Enrobed) is the best biscuit on the market today. I just had one.

Just delicious.
Who are your musical inspirations?
It can vary a lot from time to time, but Brian Eno is probably one that I’ll always come back to.

Lots of recording and walking to Eurogiant to see what was good in coloured biros.

Roberto Cacciapaglia - My Time.
Favourite lyric of all time?
"I’m as serious as cancer when I say rhythm is a dancer" - Rhythm is a Dancer by Snap!

John Cage - 4'33.
