If there's room to make a record every year, and it sounds nothing like the old one, I might do that. It's easy to get in and have fun. To me, if it feels right, that's all that needs to be done.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The years keep going by and you realize, Wow. Doing these records is such a process: going on tour for a year and a half, then you get home and you want to do other things.
But I think it's hard for me to only put out one record a year. Because I get too antsy. But it's good I'm learning to do that, because each record counts. And you should make it count.
I wanted to make a record that people could put on year after year after year, and it would never feel dated.
When we finished the tour we had been writing together for a year. We moved forward from there and have just now finished our record. We're having a new record out in the Spring.
It became a question of do I want to be on a label where it could take three years to put out a record instead of putting out three records over the same period of time on my own.
Yeah, I was in the phase for the last ten years or so where every record I made I said OK, that's the last one, I don't want to record anymore, I don't want to do this any more, I don't want to have a public life.
I've been recording since 1993. It was a hobby for six of those years. In 1999, I decided to do it full time and take it seriously.
I just wanted to go out and make a record that I've always wanted to make since I was a kid.
You don't always have to have a record out. I'm not a sausage factory, you know, turning out records every year.
I don't know if I want to break my own record. I think I would rather leave it as it is.
