It's nice to be in a creative world that's kind of isolated, but you can get led astray down some pathway while you're recording that you might not like later. And there's a lot of time to get in your own head and stay there.

At times, I will get in the studio and force myself to just write an entire front-to-back record, and 'Let Me Go' is one of these.

You're always in a different headspace when you make each record, so hopefully they're all different. You just pick up things that you wish you hadn't done on the first one.

I've actually always wanted to make something like an acoustic record.

I don't want to record anything unless it can be great and genuinely interesting.

Maybe someday, I'll just make, like, a complete on-demand record that everybody wants to hear. But that would be impossible and, also, I just changed my mind. I don't think I'll ever do that.

The thing is that I have a really intense, almost compulsive need to record. But it doesn't end there, because what I record is somehow transformed into a creative thing. There is a continuity. Recording is the beginning of a conceptual production. I am somehow collapsing the two - recording and producing - into a single event.

You have to shelve a lot of your inspiration. There's only so much you can do with one record.

I tested the waters on producing a record, but I'm more of a creative guy. I can't get into minute details.

People are really set in their ways in how they produce records, and I was at least open enough to where I knew I wanted to do something totally different.
