I like playing music. I don't always like the feeling of people looking at me. I don't think I'm a natural performer, but I'm getting better.

I'm not really sure that I have the same definition of things as other people. Like, when people talk about being "engaged" with the audience, I'm not exactly sure what they mean.

I force myself to care about the music end by wrestling with it for years.

Generally, if you could picture a bunch of rock and roll momentum behind a song and it was particularly melodious, maybe the Pornographers would do it. If it was kind of moody and more lyrical, then maybe it would be a Destroyer song. Anything that's really lyrically driven I would keep for Destroyer.

I like playing music. I don't always like the feeling of people looking at me. I don't think I'm, like, a natural performer, but I'm getting better.

There are too many Destroyer records to just start rattling them left them off, but they're there.

I'm probably more into a more spacious, even meditative, quiet delivery of singing.
