Gospel isn't some ditty to make people enjoy their afternoon - it's communicating with God.

With a lot of the music I really love, like Miles Davis, you can go back and see the processes and the stages.

I realized there were no words or anything in my music, nothing that people would have to draw them in a little bit more.

I feel like there's a young generation of producers who are taking inspiration from dubstep but trying to push it in other directions.

The lo-fi scene and the riot grrrl thing had a huge influence on me. As a teenager I went to see Bikini Kill and all those bands.

I find that people in American are often much more purist. If you're into hip-hop, you're totally into hip-hop - you wear the uniform, that's all you listen to. If you're a goth, you're totally a goth - you've got, like, 4,000 piercings, black hair, you really go for it.

When I first heard bands like Tortoise, it seemed to come off the back of that world, like let's make a record with three vibraphones and release it on a seven-inch with black-and-white artwork.

People ask me about all sorts of sounds. There's a sound of a screeching toy or a rubber duck and everybody asks me about that, but it was an absolutely random thing, just a cool sound.
