I think there is a fascination with choral music in general.

Every album has a thing where it's like, "How are we going to marry our four ideas and personalities?" The older we get, the more people become comfortable with their strengths and weaknesses. Being in a band with such a long history can be frustrating and slow, but ultimately it's so much more rewarding.

People digest and process music differently, and I'm sure that was the case even when I was a kid.

I guess everyone has their own definition of what folk is or pop or whatever. I find it incredibly hard to describe music these days.

I think sometimes I get overly excited about adding things and having new ideas. You forget that more isn't always better.

I would never be angry at someone for downloading the album. Sometimes people just wanna listen to it first to see if they like it and that's totally fair.

I do enjoy talking about how everything's changed and I'm fascinated by it, and I can spend my time worrying, like, "Are we going to appeal to teens?" But then, if I were to try to make a record for teens, I'd be doing exactly what I said I didn't want to do. That'd be posturing. And I'm watching other people trying to do that, and they all look stupid. But for some of them, it's working, so cash in.
