A lot of people change their band names because they're looking for a change of atmosphere.

The songs started as a soundscapes, and then came the words and music; each song took at least a year to make.

With all the touring and distractions going on, I would get a sound together but I wouldn't have time to work on it. So I sat on the road with the sketches and saw how they revealed themselves emotionally.

I don't want to get myself in trouble - and I don't think I'm super important or anything - but I think it's so funny that when you look at the business and the way that people make decisions in their lives, whether they're in art or music or they're in industry, they forget that being unique is the answer.

But in any situation with long love, I don’t think it ever goes away fully. You just sort of learn where to keep it.

Hopefully, most days, you're like, "This is sweet. I wake up and do the things that I do and I'm usually smiling." That's how my dad is with his job.

I don't know why you'd spend any of your time trying to remake something that you don't actually like.
