What bugs me are parodies - they're never as special as the original thing.

Usually I'm only using my instruments when I'm recording or playing a gig.

It'd be tricky to read into my lyrics - some are autobiographical, but sometimes I just like the sound of words.

I don't think of my music as something that works well in the background. And because a lot of it isn't in 4/4, people might not like to dance to it.

People call me a bedroom electronic musician, which I suppose I am. But I hate most electronic music; I find it really boring.

I might've set out to write a particular song about a particular girl, but my experience will run out after four lines, so instead of getting obsessed with the girl, I write about the clothes I'm wearing.

I'm actually embarrassed by the idea of writing songs about myself - I imagine someone hearing them and thinking This guy is a bit self-obsessed. I don't know if I really have a persona, in that respect. I want to just make the music and hide away.
