As an artist, let the creativity be the priority as often as you can, even though we all understand that there are bills to pay. My favorite artists are those who have always kept a strong creative image and their vision for their art at the forefront.

Gothenburg’s definitely a music city as well, but I think just because of the weather – it’s so cold and miserable – people stay in. Coming to the States and going into the store and people are like, “Hi, can I help you?” – I’m not used to people randomly talking to me that I don’t know.

I am a creative person and it’s important for me to get that out there, kind of like eating food. It’s something I need to do to feel happy. It’s some kind of drive and I don’t know how to explain what the reason is, but it’s something I have a need to do.

I feel like fans really want to spread the word about the band. I guess when you’ve done three records, you feel that you really start to appreciate it. We’re looking at it all and it’s just like, wow. You appreciate it differently when you work hard for it.

I feel like I’m still learning a lot with writing lyrics. In the beginning, like the first record, I wasn’t so aware.

Writing

I feel like there are a lot of artists that you could put together that you love, but it doesn’t necessarily mean it’s going to make amazing music. Giving an artist a great theme to write about doesn’t mean the song’s going to be good.

I find it a little stressful when you’re in a really nice studio and you feel time ticking and the bill getting higher.

Getting High

Littles

Nice

I think that kind of balance comes with the process of growing together as a band, the Little Dragon. We love to write, we love to create, we love to play live, and I think we love and appreciate what we have together. How that evolves, and how we balance it, is something that’s come with time. At the start we were all like, “Tour tour tour. We just want to play. That’s all we want to do.”

Thinking

Writing

I think we’re a little bit protective in that way. You’re always trying to balance between what’s spreading the word about the band and what’s good money and what’s a shitty look. Is this good for the longevity of the band? Do people even care these days? We care, but do we care more about the money? We’ve had a lot of discussions about things. It gets us into a lot of fights, but it also makes you question your own morals in a really good way.

I was really into R&B and stuff like that, so I really wanted to sing like Faith Evans or Mariah Carey. But I definitely don’t have the skills to sing like that.
