I like writing stories. That's what I like to do. That's the way I see it, but with every song I get sucked into feeling something.
Nicholas ThorburnI really do just try to tune as much out as I can and make things that I think just sound good to me.
Nicholas ThorburnEverybody now who's playing in Unicorn band is deeply schooled in music. I'm the only one who's self-taught, which I think is a bit hilarious because I'm leading the band and writing the songs, but I'm surrounded by such overwhelmingly competent musicians.
Nicholas ThorburnI operate in such a vacuum. I write by myself, it's a very solitary experience, and I'm not used to, I've never had a label or anyone to say, "We wanna hear a single, we gotta come back and retool some of these songs until they're more catchy."
