We always let the record kind of reveal itself to us over time. Download This Image

I’m interested in taking a different approach and having the next record be different in tone – I’m just not interested in making another dark, dark album. Download This Image

He all of a sudden woke up one day and realized he was in a band. He thought he was just recording my solo project. Three albums later, we’re in Baltimore trying to figure out what to do with ourselves.

There are people who absolutely can’t stand us, and people who absolutely can’t live without us. I’d rather spark those kind of polar-opposite feelings than have people be indifferent.
