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

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

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.

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

Things have changed. The suburbs are developed, but other parts, like where we recorded Spirit and Danse Manatee are still woodland and farmland.

An important meeting point for me was realizing the similarity between a DJ set and a Grateful Dead set: I grew up listening to how the Dead would take a song and just jam on it, and then transition into another song.
