They even let me do the ads for the album. I definitely want it all to be presented right, but I don't want to be selling. I mean, people do deluxe editions, and I don't even really know how I feel about those yet.
Robin PecknoldI only write maybe one or two songs every couple of years that I think are good enough to play alone without other stuff happening.
Robin PecknoldI like having the vinyl, but it's not like we're going to sell an umbrella or something. I don't like the idea of selling something that's not music - I mean, I like going to shows and buying the shirt, but beyond that, I don't know. There's a lot of crap in the world.
Robin PecknoldSpeaking for myself I have influenced with lots of John Coltrane, Van Morrison, Joanna Newsom, Mississippi Records compilations, Simon & Garfunkel, Duncan Browne, Judee Sill, Sublime Frequencies releases, Ali Farka Tourรฉ, John Fahey, Flower Travellin' Band, Sagittarius, Toumani Diabatรฉ, Philip Glass, lots of different stuff.
