Every record turns into whatever the listener gets out of it.

I've never used the word jamming. It's a matter of finding a great song and learning the chords, then slightly altering the vocal melody, and matching a classic chord progression with another chord progression.

I get most of my inspiration from older records. Most of the records that I listen to were probably made before I was born, and I was born in the mid-'70s. I don't know why, exactly, I'm drawn to those sounds.

I don't like the way recording to digital sounds.

I'm somebody who doesn't feel the need to be in the driver's seat all the time. I appreciate the perspective of being in the passenger's seat sometimes, and I feel fortunate for that because I've learned a lot from that perspective.

When you work on a record for three years, it's a great sense of relief when it is finally out in the world. It just feels good.

I get most of my inspiration from older records and older production styles, and that ends up rearing its head in the records that I make.
