“I think the future is really ahead of us,” notes Coxe, “You’re going to see huge leaps in terms of what we accept as music.” Along with drummer Danny Taylor, Coxe created a new type of music, using found junk to create sounds that their audiences had never heard. Though Taylor died in 2005, Silver Apples lives on. Thump caught up with Coxe at the 2013 Mountain Oasis festival.
