More quotes by Victoria Legrand
I studied voice and piano as a child, although, at least with voice, you start over at puberty, because your voice completely changes.
Victoria Legrand
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.
Victoria Legrand
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.
Victoria Legrand
People who create art would be fools to assume they know exactly what people are going to think of it.
Victoria Legrand
Obviously, it's great to know that your music is being listened to.
Victoria Legrand
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.
Victoria Legrand
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.
Victoria Legrand
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.
Victoria Legrand
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.
Victoria Legrand
I think sometimes songwriting becomes diluted when you have lots of components to mask a lack of core.
Victoria Legrand
As you get older you realise that nothing lasts forever. It's not depressing, but it does make moments more intense.
Victoria Legrand
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.
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.
Victoria Legrand
I don't wear dresses and flowers in my hair and float around!
Victoria Legrand
As long as artists can make something, artists will continue to survive.
Victoria Legrand
I don't like to read the Internet I'm not aware of what's going on.
Victoria Legrand
It's always a struggle to make things sound more or less brilliant.
Victoria Legrand
I truly believe that if you think something's stupid, that might mean it's actually good.
Victoria Legrand
I like to hear what other people's interpretations are, because people come up with things I'd never thought about.
Victoria Legrand
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.
