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.

People who create art would be fools to assume they know exactly what people are going to think of it.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

With us, people caught on to something on our third album, and that will never be repeated. Basically, I don't really have any complaints about the way that Beach House has grown. I feel like we're still in control of what we're doing, and it's a great time in our existence.

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.

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

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 like to find the beauty in the ugly. When I'm in a thrift store, I gravitate toward pieces I know I'll wear a ton, and insane pieces that I'm sure most people would consider gross. But I find them inspiring. Our van is currently stocked with some of my random findings from this tour. Maybe I'll call my aesthetic 'van fashion.

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.

As you get older you realise that nothing lasts forever. It's not depressing, but it does make moments more intense.

Obviously, it's great to know that your music is being listened to.

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 don't like to read the Internet I'm not aware of what's going on.
