I’m not unswayed by the opinions of others. I actually really value that, the idea that you can feel things the way somebody else might feel them is a really big part of doing music for me.

I’ve found that writing and playing music has so little to do with will, and so much to do with just finding what’s there waiting for you.

I’ve got childhood friends who are working for non-profit foundations, or who are running for state senate and doing things that actually do fight evil in this world. And what am I doing? I bang on some drums in a rock band. I try to tell myself that by doing that, I’m fighting evil – which is completely absurd. Music is not equipped in any way to fight against anything. Other than, I guess, it could fight against silence.

In American commercials in the past year or two, I don’t know, the singers all sound like they’re whining and the music’s all melancholy. It’s sort of like, I hear these commercials and it makes me feel sad, you know? Like – for instance, my barley tea is gone. Now, there’s music out there that encourages you, when your barley tea has run out, to just sort of sit there and be like “My tea ran out. Oh, man.” And just be slouching. So we wanted to make music that when your tea runs out, instead you’re like, “I’m gonna go get some more tea!” You know? It just gives you the energy.

It’s weird to me to even say, “I wrote this song.” I never feel like I wrote it; I feel like I heard it.

My projects are just side effects of what I obsess over, what I chat about, what random things pop into my head, what I dream at night.
