If my peers had a significant impact on my music, my music would probably be a lot more popular.
J TillmanI like the freedom of being able to just use the live show as an opportunity to more so deconstruct what's going on in the album than to recreate it.
J TillmanI think that providing obstructions in the live setting is when you get something that actually means something, as opposed to just aping your way through your greatest hits.
J TillmanI don't think that just because a lot of my music has a quieter aesthetic; [it] excludes me from achieving that in a live setting, from being dangerous or something.
J TillmanChristian music was music that I grew up listening to that I can't say has had much of an impact on anything I have done in my adult life. Maybe Christianity has, but certainly not the bullshit Christian music I was listening to when I was 12. To me there's not much substance in that music. I don't have a message or anything.
