I get to focus on being a musician sometimes, and I get to focus on being a vocalist sometimes.
From Britt Daniel
I love bands that can collaborate, and I feel like the Rolling Stones wouldn't be nearly as great as they are if it wasn't for them having a real group.
When we're recording, I always dress up.
I just don't think you can make records easily and have them be great. It's a process. You've got to get really lucky all the time, or you've got to work like mad.
I like sparseness. There's something about that minimalist feel that can make something have an immediate impact and make it unique. I'll probably always work with that formula; I just don't know how.
I'd always listened to my parents' Bee Gees albums.
It doesn't matter what age you are, an effective song will move you.
I don't like when a song goes from one mood to another unless it's going to be out of sight.
I wish records got made faster and looser with less thought in them, but since touring is so much more profitable than records, you spend so much time on the road that it's hard to work on them. And the records get further and further apart.
Usually I write the songs at home and then I bring them in to the band; when we play them as a band, that's kinda how we figure out the feel of how they're going to be presented on the record or live.
