We feel more and more intensely about the music we make. It's unexpected, and not always what you would think of in Beach House. It's all art in the end. We aren't making records because we have to it's because it's what we want to express.

I think sometimes songwriting becomes diluted when you have lots of components to mask a lack of core.

The guys in high school were like, You've got a nice voice you should keep singing, but I never honestly thought that one day I'd be a singer. When you're young, you don't see the signs.

I personally do not listen to a lot of music. It helps keep my mind free. I don't want to sound like someone else from the get-go. I want to express myself and the world in my head.

I studied voice and piano as a child, although, at least with voice, you start over at puberty, because your voice completely changes.

When something goes into the world, you immediately begin to develop another perspective on yourself, another identity.

I was in a Led Zeppelin cover band in high school, and my highlight was playing Misty Mountain Hop at a coffee house in Wayne, Pennsylvania. I wasn't allowed to play any instruments I could only be the singer because I was a girl.

It's always a struggle to make things sound more or less brilliant.

I don't think my vocals demand effects. I like reverb to a certain extent, but I don't want to hide my voice. I like stripped-down vocals, but I also like crazy, powerful, doubled vocals like in dance or electronic music.

I truly believe that if you think something's stupid, that might mean it's actually good.

Yeah, it's a lot harder to find a musical partner than a love partner.

It's always about trying to make everything go with the music, like a script. It's not like, 'Let's have a confetti gun!' If I ever have one of those, it will be because it's absolutely the right thing at the moment in the song. I can't just go get a confetti gun.

Sound is a very unruly thing, and you have to really respect that it's going to differ every time you play.

Image
But I love the hot sweat. I think overheating onstage is invigorating. It's better than being comfortable. I think being comfortable is the death of a show.

My hair is a wild, untamable beast! I like letting it grow my bangs grow whatever way they want and I kind of follow their rule. So side bangs, poof bangs - it's kind of unpredictable.

I think the Yamaha has a giant quality. When you combine the Yamaha with other organs, you get this crazy rectangular sound. It's kind of flat and thick.

Image
I like to hear what other people's interpretations are, because people come up with things I'd never thought about.

Image
There's something to be said for being classically trained on piano, but not having your whole makeup be tied to one instrument.

I'm a Gemini, so I'm very dual. I love something and I hate it at the same time, so that probably comes out in the lyrics.

I don't wear dresses and flowers in my hair and float around!
