Iowa is integral to Slipknot\u2019s history (in terms of both the location and<\/em> the album); yet, percussionist Shawn \u201cClown\u201d Crahan recently revealed that he and his wife have left Iowa and moved to Palm Springs, Calif. for a variety of relatable and endearing reasons.<\/p>\n Crahan was a guest on the Kennedy Saves the World<\/em> podcast (episode uploaded to YouTube on March 4), and before long, host\/former MTV VJ Lisa Kennedy Montgomery asked if he still lives in Iowa.<\/p>\n \u201cNo, we moved to Palm Springs,\u201d Crahan said about himself and his wife, adding:<\/p>\n There\u2019s some health things, you know, and the sun is always out here. It is always blue skies. The energy is incredible, and it\u2019s just better for what my wife and I are doing now in our life, which is trying to be stress-free as much as possible and appreciate each other. All the kids are out of the house, so, it\u2019s been a long haul dedicating to art and life. So, we moved to Palm Springs to take a load off and get a different energy and have blue skies [and] warm weather that just feels good all day, every day.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n He then reflected on life in Iowa:<\/p>\n I have a really good friend [who was] born and raised in New York, and when he would drive with me in the middle of nowhere in Iowa \u2013 we\u2019d be going to a studio \u2013 and it\u2019d just be cornfields and soybean fields and then farmhouses a block off the road, surrounded by trees. He would just tap the window and be like, \u201cThat\u2019s \u2018The Hills Have Eyes\u2019 [laughs]. I would try to bring it into reality to him, you know? I\u2019d be like, \u201cListen, man. Listen. What do you do when it\u2019s -80\u00b0F with the windchill and your car breaks down right here and that house has a light on?\u201d He\u2019s like, \u201cI\u2019d stay in my car,\u201d and I said, \u201cNo, you will die. You will die.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n Then, Montgomery mentioned that people \u201cfrom big cities\u201d think places like that are \u201ccreepy\u201d because \u201cthey don\u2019t have a mass of people to run to and corral if they\u2019re in deep yogurt.\u201d<\/p>\n Crahan responded:<\/p>\n A couple things with that. One \u2013 so, I grew up in the woods. A lot of people would think, \u201cOh, you\u2019re one of those scary people. You grew up with the manure and the trees.\u201d I live in the desert now, and I\u2019m trying to bring it full circle with you to say, \u201cYes, there\u2019s a lot of weird stuff that happens in the desert, and it\u2019s different. The desert\u2019s different. It\u2019s definitely different. We could go into it.<\/p>\n But, the other thing I was gonna say with that was \u2013 I always wondered, like, the real zombie apocalypse is when the grid is pulled and humans are going after humans who have water or batteries or whatever it is. I don\u2019t know. I always admire people who live in tight situations with people. Unfortunately, tragedies can happen or what have you. The ability of the human condition to stick together and pull through has always been a wonderful thing to see. I say this because I\u2019m still stuck in the woods, but in the desert now. It\u2019s quite a [conundrum].<\/p>\n You know, New York closed in on me. I used to love New York. I used to follow trails of gum, you know, and just think about conversations of people. Just people and gum. Like, who is this guy? Who is this lady? We\u2019d make chords out of it on music sheets, and I\u2019d just get really deep with \u2013 the stuff on the street told such a story, and it always led me to a good restaurant or a fascinating place to shoot. The people in New York would always \u2013 in my opinion \u2013 look at your once and wouldn\u2019t look at you again, whereas in the West Coat (in L.A.), someone might be like, \u201cWhat are you looking at?\u201d It might continue for a while.<\/p>\n Anyway, it just closed in on me one day. I felt like I was in a soup can and the lid was shut. It\u2019s not necessarily New York\u2019s fault. I\u2019ve always admired \u2013 I\u2019m an only child, so that\u2019s probably what it was \u2013 but I\u2019ve always admired groups of people just propelling through life together. Making it work.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n Finally, Montgomery asked Crahan if he \u201cfeel[s] at peace,\u201d and he\u2019s visibly rattled as he replied:<\/p>\n Man. Well, you know, I\u2019m not trying to turn this, \u2019cause you asked the question. I gotta be always honest. I don\u2019t lie, cheat, or steal. It\u2019s like \u2013 we lost a family member, and in the Midwest \u2013 anywhere with great people. Anywhere with good people around \u2013 they\u2019re always gonna be there for you, and it\u2019s hard for my wife and I to be in the situation we were in, and so many good people around. Like I always say, a lot of people will go home to dinner, and we\u2019re kind of stuck in it anyway. So, yeah, a lot of peace here in Palm Springs. Different energy.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n Crahan was almost certainly referring to the 2019 passing of his daughter, Gabrielle, at the age of 22.<\/p>\n He continued:<\/p>\n My wife was ill, and we came here a couple of times and her spirits got really \u2013 a lot \u2013 I mean, just her spirits and her health and everything just went up. One day, it was 120\u00b0F and we were laying out in the pool, looking at these little mountains just, like, \u201cWhoa, are we here?\u201d She\u2019s, like, \u201cI could live here.\u201d So, we\u2019re here. So, that\u2019s it. She just had to say that, and honestly, yeah, we\u2019ve got a lot of peace. It\u2019s nice to change your situation, get out of the woods [and] get in the desert.<\/p>\n The band I\u2019m in, we played out here at a small club called Pappy & Harriet\u2019s [in 2024] with our new drummer [Eloy Casagrande] when he joined. . . . we did our first show [with him] there, and I think we all thought that maybe there\u2019d be less people, so people squeezed in. We hadn\u2019t done anything like that in a long time. Could be two decades. Could\u2019ve been literally before we were signed. It\u2019s just been up ever since. It\u2019s always one more person at the show. It\u2019s never been less.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n You can watch the entire interview below:<\/p>\n Open the Youtube video<\/p>\n Subscribe to on Youtube<\/p>\n READ MORE: Fans React in Disbelief That Slipknot Members\u2019 Lost Album is Finally Being Released<\/strong><\/p>\n This past January \u2013 and as Billboard<\/em>previously reported [via ] \u2013 Slipknot were suing \u201can alleged cybersquatter who\u2019s been using the URL slipknot.com to advertise counterfeit merchandise for nearly a quarter-century.\u201d<\/p>\n However, at the end that month, wrote about Slipknot \u201cvoluntarily dismiss[ing] their lawsuit against the domain name for slipknot.com,\u201d with \u201clawyers for the domain name fil[ing] a motion to dismiss the suit, stating that the band had not served as the registrant for the name in the time required.\u201d<\/p>\n continued: \u201cThe following day, the group filed a notice of voluntary dismissal without prejudice, which would allow them the right to revisit the matter legally at another time should they choose.\u201d<\/p>\n More recently, we learned that the band\u2019s enigmatic and highly anticipated lost album, Look Outside Your Window<\/em>, will finally be coming out. However, it\u2019ll be under the name Look Outside Your Window rather than Slipknot, and it\u2019s being released on April 18, 2026 (on Record Store Day).<\/p>\n The official Record Story Date website states:<\/p>\n Look Outside Your Window is Corey Taylor, Jim Root, Sid Wilson, and Shawn \u2018Clown\u2019 Crahan, who in the downtime during recording sessions for Slipknot\u2019s 2008 album All Hope Is Gone, began to freely create songs for themselves, exploring new directions with no outside expectations. Over the years, the existence of this project has seen coverage in outlets including Vice, Revolver, NME, Kerrang!, and countless others, and the fans have only grown louder in their demand to hear this album.<\/p>\n [N]ow over 15 years later, the fans will finally get to experience it for themselves. Splatter vinyl with a die-cut jacket, purple foil on the front of the jacket, purple flood inside the jacket, and embossed text on the back of the jacket.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n Keep in mind, too, that Look Outside Your Window<\/em> will apparently be limited to 2,300 copies. The cover and full (10-song) track list have been revealed, and understandably, fans were initially in disbelief that the record is coming out.<\/p>\n While you wait for Look Outside Your Window<\/em>, why not take a look at our official timeline regarding everything we know about it?<\/p>\n Have you<\/em> ever visited (or lived in) Palm Springs?
