Going on tour, you don't have a lot of time to mull things over. You're just kind of, Another beer, another show, another song.

I mean it was weird. But Phoenix watched us every night. But it's like they're not even a band, they're like a corporation. They bring a staff of like 40 people.

I think people do expect something a little weird to happen. Maybe they've seen something I did once on the Internet and expect that I'm gonna do that every night.

I take making music seriously, but you have to have a sense of humor about yourself. I invite people into my life. That's how I do it.

It was weird [touring with them]. It felt more like we were playing for Phoenix. They asked us because they're fans of what we do.

With the old dog stuff, maybe the term old is in there, but I'm 26. I'm not that old. It's mostly like, Ah, you dirty old dog! I'm saying it more like that. I'm still ripping. I'm ready to rip. I'll make a bunch more records and have a nice time. We'll see what happens.

In Europe, people tend to be very respectful. They try not to make too much noise at inappropriate times. In other countries, people can be very still. Sometimes I'm not sure if a crowd is into it until the end, when they usually want me to do something crazy for the encore.

Neil Young is the prime example, the grand goal, if you will. He's still shredding, and he never lost his credibility.

I hate living in a really small apartment, living in a shoebox, not being able to play the drums, not having space. It sucks.

[ If I wasn't making music ] I'd probably end up going to school, I never went to school. Or just give up and get my plumber's ticket and move back to Edmonton and become an alcoholic.

Connan Mockasin from New Zealand. I met him a little while ago, I love his music.

'Salad Days' refers to a youthful or innocent period. And a lot of people having been asking me already so you jaded? And I'm not, I'm 23. It's me reflecting, I had to re-learn to have fun with music and I had to re-count my blessings.

[My House By The Water] is a nice instrumental track. The sound of the water is from the same place where the front photo was taken. I live really close to the airport, so there's also planes going over. It's kind of to remind me of living in there, because I'm not gonna be living in there for very much longer.

I think recording at home feels more organic, and injects some more personality into the music.

I have a lot of friends that I'd like to shout out but I don't think anyone will know who they are.

I don't think anybody has a choice. Everybody has to kind of interact with all the craziness right now. I don't like to engage - a lot of people made a point of doing the social media thing, and I think that social media is complete trash, so I treat it like that. I like Instagram. I like the funny photos. Other than that, it's not for me.

Regardless of how funny I want to be, I don't ever have a problem speaking from my heart or speaking honestly to people.

[Making music] only turned into this weird job in the last year or so. Once I figured that out, I was having a blast.

Journalists say my music is blue wave, or dreamy, or jangly-slacker jewel, and none of it really makes sense to me.
