My first two records were more energetic; Phantom Moon is subtle, quiet; so these various reactions are just something I expected

I'm a pretty big P.J. Harvey record fan and you can really hear New York in his record

But I can't really say there is too much modern music that I'm blown away by at this moment

I make the kind of music I like

Ultimately, if I'm really moved by something, it's going to go on the record and that's that

I also wanted to make a record that was about other things than romance, yeah, after two years on the road singing all the songs from the first album, I got kind of tired of that.

I think my Buddhist practice has a profound influence on my life and encompasses my creative projects
