I think recording at home feels more organic, and injects some more personality into the music.

[Making music] only turned into this weird job in the last year or so. Once I figured that out, I was having a blast.

I was having a good time before, but you grow up after a couple years and realize, "I can't get drunk like this every night." Things change.

It was weird [touring with them]. It felt more like we were playing for Phoenix. They asked us because they're fans of what we do.

I take making music seriously, but you have to have a sense of humor about yourself. I invite people into my life. That's how I do it.

With the "old dog" stuff, maybe the term "old" is in there, but I'm 26. I'm not that old. It's mostly like, "Ah, you dirty old dog!" I'm saying it more like that. I'm still ripping. I'm ready to rip. I'll make a bunch more records and have a nice time. We'll see what happens.

The time came around where the label was like, "Well, if you want something to come out in early 2017, it's going to have to be done by, like, so-and-so." So I plucked some of the old songs and wrote some new ones. Everybody keeps asking me, "Is this your L.A. record?" I was doing songs in a bedroom in New York, I was doing it in a bedroom in L.A. The only difference is when I look out the window, there's palm trees instead of snow.
