I think all the songs [at Moth] are about different things, but if we were to speak about it as a whole, it's really about, it's about joy, and about sensuality and vulnerability and also fun, energy, living in New York in 2015, being out of control, wanting to be in control, failing! It's a sort of story of our lives.

Do not be precious about your music within your own world. Try everything you want to try; just because it exists doesn't mean it's done.

No one goes to BrooklynVegan to read about content, they just go for drama. It's a tabloid, the scum of indie.

Radio is so cutthroat, but I do feel like the music industry is structured so differently than it used to be. I'm amazed and in awe of artists who can build a parallel universe that's so big and clearly defined that the mainstream finally has to pay attention.

The only thing that deeply frustrates me is the slow speed [of major labels]. The more people involved, the slower the pace.

Brooklyn is a hub; people move to Brooklyn because of what's already in Brooklyn.

You'd have to be kind of a bonehead not to feel pressure.
