I definitely didn't have a lot of money. I had been fired from a record store. I was just trying to get by. I was on unemployment. I didn't have anything going full-time.

Music can be so manipulating - especially in terms of horror. It's such an important part of building the tension.

Sometimes I have the idea right away, like, "Oh, this is what this song's about. This is how I'm feeling."

I think it's cool to give people encouragement.

I love electronic music as much as I love something that sounds like 'Pullhair Rubeye,' or something a little bit more organic than that.

It's weird, in New York, it's like the big theme of everything is folk music and interacting with people. Maryland is where the landscape of our music comes from, it was more like, let's walk around. People are saying that we are part of some sort of folk scene. We don't feel connected with it. We do live in the city, and communicate with people. It's all folk music.

Hell is a swamp, to me - not as something fiery, but as something dank, moist, and wet.
