It takes me forever to write songs most of the time.

It takes me forever to write songs most of the time.

I've been trying to write really simple songs to make them sound like they're coming out of a satellite that's crashing into a gas giant or something.

When people want me to sign records they usually always have Vivadixie[submarinetransmissions], and I think that's a lot of people's favorite record. And that was sort of when I was just learning what I was doing.

I never really made much money playing music. It's because I've never really worked with a producer who could make my music sound, I guess, like how the public wants it to sound.

I think maybe I'm trying to forget or not be so conscious about plastic circuitry and just go for the feeling.
