I started playing music at a pretty young age

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 certainly wouldn't say that my life is a disaster, but there have been moments where I've felt like that

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

Simon Hale, the British arranger, does all string and wood arrangements on my records

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

For my second record I had gotten ProTools and started to familiar myself with hard disc recording.
