Joshua Strachan is an experimental, industrial, atmospheric black metal, dark folk, and ambient songwriter and producer living in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia.

He grew up in Iowa and Virginia, moving to NYC in the early 2000's where he experimented in various genres for a decade. There he became involved with Wierd Records, a label and weekly party founded by artist Pieter Scoolwerth - which became instrumental in creating a new and vibrant global community built around obscure cold wave and minimal synth. He spent 7 years in New Orleans until covid hit and he made his way back home to the mountains of Virginia.

Each collaboration and project Strachan has incited is marked by the presence of the climate and atmosphere of his environment, as evidenced by the song we discuss, Deer Stalking- an ecological comment on the growth of deer populations in residential areas.
