Right now we're in the process of writing new material for a new record.

I feel that the great challenge of our time is the communication of ideas.

Well, obviously I wanted it to sound as original as possible. I suppose the influences that we had were probably from the actual power point of view we wanted to be like the Who. Vocally we wanted to be like the Beach Boys, whatever was good at the time.

The past speaks to us in a thousand voices, warning and comforting, animating and stirring to action.

Yes, indeed, in fact I would tell you that we go out of our way to be true to the original feeling and sort of sonic and musical pallet that we painted with back then.

Maybe some people have written us off, but I think the new music today has also invigorated us.

We wrote what sounded good to us and hoped it would find a home.

Media is so weird; everything is so accessible now. It used to be this thing where, if you did something on 'This American Life,' this predates me, but when David Sedaris did it, for example, it would just play, people who heard it heard it, and then the book would come out a year later, and people would be like, 'Ahh, I kind of remember that.'
