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

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

Around the time I dropped out of college, I decided to start taking what I liked about short stories and apply it to writing songs - to make these things that would change and keep going.

I definitely don't want to play by myself. I don't relate to playing music that way. I like interacting with people.

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.

In a lot of African music, the singers are just singing whatever they feel at the time - because the instrumentation is repetitive, they can come and go as they please. That's how we approach it. Not verse-chorus-verse.

It's not so much a philosophy as much as it is a pace. We need to be personally involved with every aspect of the records including the artwork, we want everything to have a similar aesthetic.
