As a listener, I like a wide range of sounds.

The only really weird part for me was making sense of the person on the TV at the same time as the person who I am friendly with and do something so friend-intimate with as text.

Really, everything for me comes from "Manifestra." It was an incredible gift of a song; it really describes an important moment in my life.

I always write from rhythm first, so if I need a song fast, I have to start there. Then I just threw some electric guitar at it.

I think I have come across as "unafraid" because I really cannot control what comes through me in my writing.

As I've gotten older, I have gotten a lot better at finding the pleasures of making music despite the business of it.

I started to understand what the song could be about. The ache of nostalgia even for things we don't like, the commitment to keep moving despite that ache. It made me think of how I relate to my privilege - as a white person, as someone who grew up upper middle class.
