I think a lot of music that’s really innovative is not even considered because it was made by people who had a sexual image. And people assume that it’s a commodified thing, so it can’t be “indie.”
If I think about what other people are thinking when I’m making music, I just can’t do it. It’s too withheld – I need to go totally over the top, and then kind of clean it up a bit and make it more reasonable after the fact.
Obviously, I like things that are cute and aggressive at the same time, but I didn’t want it to just be mini-bangs and lip-syncing in a dress. I need to get away from that stuff.
Lately I’ve been really into screaming a lot through delay [effects], having seven people on stage topless going crazy, stuff like that. Really in your face, but maybe more organic than choreographed dance moves.
