If you take a little time, let's say three weeks off, after recording a song, and you listen to it every other day, you're just going to know eventually.

I really like the sound of analog things where clearly there's something being touched. You can sense that something is handmade. So much with digital, there's a disconnect.

The music that I write is often not necessarily full of doom and gloom. You'll notice in most of the darkest songs, the music is actually pretty peaceful and lulling.

People who are thinking about your music almost as much as you are, that almost never happens.

I still kind of believe this absurd line that if you have to write it down, it's not worth remembering.

I just pay attention to what's in my head. That's my number-one rule.

The idea of writing songs because you're depressed and you need to communicate it somehow, that isn't really true for me.
