Ossuary touches on the inevitability of death.

In an interview with Interview Magazine, it is revealed the inspiration behind the darker themes of Obsidian come from Will’s experience with E. Coli.

During the recording process, Wiesenfeld developed a serious case of E. coli that left him bedridden for months and unable to make music. Ironically, the period of illness wound up giving rise to much of the LP. “I was locked into this mode of apathy. I had never not felt anything before,” says Wiesenfeld of his time spent convalescing. The flip side was that his sickness became a source of inspiration. “There’s a very distorted, raw state of mind behind the music,” he says. “It’s this dichotomy. It’s pop music, but it’s tragic and dark.” We caught up with Wiesenfeld to talk his writing process, revamping his live show, and contemplating his own mortality.
