I just wanted to make a record that wasn't escapism. Like, I didn't want to write another record that was devoid of meaningful content.
Dan DeaconGoing back to the paradigm we live in, the only way to do music is if I can sustain living off of it. If I can't live off of it, I'm not going to be able to make as much music.
Dan DeaconI think there is going to be a large paradigm shift in a few years, and it could either be to a new age of enlightenment and unity and we'll be raised to a new level of consciousness, or it could be a return to a dark age of kings and mass, open oppression followed by a die-off of human culture.
