Nylon string is still a new love and I'm not tired of it yet.

I wanted to give my first instincts a chance without shooting them down immediately, which I sometimes do.

I'm a boxing junkie, a serial-killer junkie, and a classical guitar junkie. All of these guys are great, poetic references.

Trying to cope with the balance between home life and road life has been a theme in my music since early Red House Painters records.

We're all human and life is complicated.

I wanted to remind people that there was a time when music required an attention span.

You really think all of those indie music dorks go to SXSW every year to check out music? They go there to wear their laminates and act important and try to get laid.
