I guess I do feel the need to repent. I do feel like I owe the world a great album. I don't know why I feel that way. I just do.

The touring band is DIIV, and the songs are always written with them in mind. But the new record is going to be more "me."

There's a lot of stuff that I've been through in my life in the past couple of months that I don't really want to share with people who are close to me, but I have no option if it's my art.

I don't think fear necessarily is a core human emotion, but I do think fear of death is something that is at the core of every person's existence.

I think that when people download the record they're kind of missing out on part of the experience, because it's really meant to be an immersive experience.

I spent my life working before I started band. I worked construction, landscaping. I worked in kitchens, cleaned dishes. I worked demolition.

I'm glad that, despite everything, I was able to get work done and finish something. I never finish anything. So just being able to finish record and to make music is a great gift.
