Mastodon drummer Brann Dailor revealed last July that he was drawing a clown every single day of lockdown. Now some of those drawings are being published in his new book 101 Clowns of the Coronavirus, expected out later this month. According to Dailor, the drawings helped him keep sane during the ongoing pandemic.
"The clowns kept me from spiraling out during all the uncertainty. They kept me from sinking into a deep depression or experiencing crippling anxiety. The clowns were perfect for that — even the dark ones."
The book features commentary by Sean Ono Lennon, Metallica’s Lars Ulrich, Queens of the Stone Age’s Josh Homme, Deftones’ Chino Moreno, and is available for pre-order here.
As for Mastodon, they might release a new album this fall.
