I think every record, good or bad, is a representation of us.

Basically, we've learned to delegate. We just grew tired of becoming too psychotic and straining to make the records ourselves.

I grew up reading biographies on groups, and I love all that. The thing about biographies, it's the old cliché but it's true - a lot of the time these things are more about the author than they are about the group.

I think for a group that has a reputation for being shy and elusive, we're actually outspoken.

I'm learning about filming, and just conceptualizing as well. I think it's a good artistic inroad, even to music as well.

Lazy Line Painter Jane - it was an insane way to make a record! It was just in a church hall, no separate rooms for instruments, and a crappy digital desk, and I think it's fantastic. I think it's one of the best records we ever made. But if you actually said that to a professional recording engineer or producer they'd laugh at you.
