The shows are the main way our lives have changed.

A lot of people listening to music now don't listen to the songs or lyrics at all. They just go, "Good tones..." and that's it.

We almost don't want to play bigger shows than where we are now. It's kind of perfect.

Twitter has to be about art. It can't be about banal things. Banal things and art are two different worlds.

Music is about your feelings.

The decisions you make can be upsetting to fans. I've experienced that, as a listener, looking at artists I've admired. It's sensitive. We really consider the idea of natural growth versus unnatural leaps.

The word is like an object - we were thinking "bloom," "doom." It encapsulated tons: the bloom, the end of the bloom, and then coming back the next year.
