Quote

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.

I really do try to let the identity or voice inside come out.

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

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

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.

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

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

I think the voice is an underrated instrument these days and it's easy to make up for lack of ability with effects. I think sometimes people are more wowed with effects than core craftsmanship. Strong voices are not as common as they used to be.

Sometimes people talk about music, whether blogs or magazines, in a strange way where it doesn't seem like they're actually listening to it.

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

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.

As long as artists can make something, artists will continue to survive.

Sound is a very unruly thing, and you have to really respect that it's going to differ every time you play.
Victoria Legrand
Image
In general, I think I'm a very private person. But I also love human beings.
Victoria Legrand
Image
I think sometimes songwriting becomes diluted when you have lots of components to mask a lack of core.
Victoria Legrand
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.

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

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.

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

I wouldn't mind doing a soundtrack someday.
