I Really Don't Know What To Do

If Your Whole World Of A Band Or Music Is Taking Place In A Digital Realm Or On Technological Devices, It's All Mediated Through Those Things. That Takes Away From The Experiential And Sensual Nature Of Music. That's A Lot Less Exciting For Me To Think About. It's Not My Ideal Way Of Living With Music.

I've Learned To Really Enjoy Video Games. It's Really Toxic To Have In Your House, Because It's Really Distracting.

I Think A Lot Of The Intention Of Bands, Especially In The Last Year, Is To Spread Themselves Out Geographically And Borrow From Different Cultures And Different Sounds, And To Be Eclectic. And That's Great In Terms Of Dynamics, But It Also Tends To Not Have That Torpedo And Fire Running Through It. If You're Spreading Yourself Out Across The Globe, You're Also Not Emphasizing A Singular Point, Which I Think Great Rock Music Has Always Done.

I Think, For Some Artists, The Fear Of Taking On A Political Identity Stems From Not Wanting To Be Pigeonholed As Political Actor Or A Political Musician. It Becomes This Thing Where Somehow Your Art Can No Longer Exist On Its Own And Be Multifaceted.

We Brainstorm An Idea And Then We Do Flesh It Out A Little Bit - We Come Up With A Script, Mostly To Have Beats And A Sense Of A Story And A Narrative Arc. Often When We Get Into The Space And Onto The Location, That Changes And Something We Discover In The Moment Becomes The Moment, Becomes The Story, Becomes The Character.
