What's cool about indie rock is that one band can do effectively the same thing as another band, and one band nails it, and the other one doesn't. I like that elusiveness.

I don't like to disappear between records. I like to play shows while I'm making the record.

I am, in some sense, a writer. Even though I kinda downplay the word thing, I do enjoy writing sometimes.

No, it's not dissatisfaction that inspires me to tinker with my songs, it's just restlessness.

I have some irrepressible pop impulses to write an appealing, concise song. And I also have some irrepressible kind of restlessness as well, and I need to keep myself interested. When I'm left to my own devices, there's a struggle.

Songwriting requires some sort of ceremony to even get the process started, and it can be somewhat arbitrary.

Every time I get up in the morning, melodies occur to me and I start trying to shape lyrics to melodies.
