That's one of those hazards of an interview: You get tired of your stock answer and you try to get creative and even play devil's advocate.

I could never settle down into a reggae band, that's too bizarre.

A lot of overdubs from the last couple of records had to do with me being insecure about the way my voice sounds or the way I play guitar. I would want to mask it with extra things, or keep every moment super exciting. With the newest record, I tried my best to back off, and if something wasn't interesting at every moment, or if my voice didn't sound that good, just let it go and accept it.

It's really hard for me to capture this certain way of singing that sounds good to me. I don't really understand it, but hopefully some day I'll figure it out.

If people like electronic music, then great - let that be the next thing. I don't think I ever really will, but there's plenty of records for me to go buy.

For me, I'm more of a songwriter than a guitar player or singer. And not having things to work on was really kind of nice.

There are certain recordings where my voice sounds good to me. Singing live I really enjoy, but I don't know how good it sounds.
