Playing to bigger audiences at festivals got me in the mindset of writing music that I would sing to a crowd.

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

I'm gonna really enjoy bringing out the catsuit once in a while.

Success will come. Or it won't. But I think you can only make a go at it in a big way by fully being yourself and taking risks. People can feel risks.

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

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.

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