Unbeknownst to some, Utah has a happenin’ music scene, and Ransom Wydner is a huge player. This guy is everywhere: singer of alt-band King Niko, rapper with BassMint Pros, and host at The Royal’s Karaoke. He has most recently joined Camden Chamberlain’s project – Cavedoll. Camden started this project back in about 2006 and since has released 12 full albums. Their new EP, Late Nights/Bad Decisions, is somewhat of a departure from their previous “grit-pop” sound due to the additional creativity of Ransom, Stephanie Webb and Eric Stoye. Late Nights/Bad Decisions situates the listener in an apocalyptic, sexy and sugary sweet, synthesized sphere. You can go ahead and file this EP between Panic! At The Disco and CHVRCHES, with occasional glimpses of Prince and Nine Inch Nails.
Ransom Wydner V, the last of five “Ransom Wydner”s of which the first 3 died “horribly violent deaths” (more info here), willingly subjected himself to our sometimes informational but usually odd questions. Learn about the inspirations for the EP, the (literal) vision of Cavedoll’s futuristic world, and Ransom’s worst late night, bad decision.
