Band Lead Dana Korra’ti Talks Supervillains, Reinventing The Drumkit, And The Tautology Of Being An Elf
Her music was not what I knew Dara for first. As R’ykandar Korra’ti, she founded the mailing list Eflinkind Digest where the word ‘otherkin’ was first coined. To learn later that she was a musician was a pleasant surprise.CRIME And The Forces Of Evil boast jaunty instruments that speak to the part of me that secretly enjoyed social dancing class in high school; paired with lyrics that enliven the part of me that got kicked out of said class for misbehaving. If you want some recommendations: My Boyfriend is the trans-body-positive anthem I needed when i was 16, Stars’ chord progression takes me to a higher place and Kaiju Meat is just plain fun.
Given that, it was an absolute delight to be able to talk to Dara herself over the past few days. Read on for our conversation.
