You're forced to step into that performer role. I can't just hide behind a synthesizer forever.

I really do just try to tune as much out as I can and make things that I think just sound good to me.

Everybody now who's playing in Unicorn band is deeply schooled in music. I'm the only one who's self-taught, which I think is a bit hilarious because I'm leading the band and writing the songs, but I'm surrounded by such overwhelmingly competent musicians.

I'll acknowledge that I'm from Canada but I don't think I'll acknowledge that I'm Canadian.

I can tell what inspired the songs for me, or what I was thinking and feeling at the time. But I don't want that to be the definitive meaning behind the song. I like the idea that people can interpret, even if they're way off base. I'm rambling. I'm not good at talking about my feelings.

I don't want to over think anything because the second I do, I start to fail.

I've learned a lot about how to be in a band. It's like being in a marriage to these people. Because there's so many of us, there's a polygamous quality to it, which I've heard is really enjoyable.
