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.

As you get older you realise that nothing lasts forever. It's not depressing, but it does make moments more intense.
Victoria Legrand
Image
I really do try to let the identity or voice inside come out.

If a psychiatrist would analyze [the lyrics], I'm sure they'd come up with something interesting. I really don't try to twist them. I don't want to slash things.

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.

In general, I think I'm a very private person. But I also love human beings.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

For me, it's really day to day. I don't really plan ahead and I like to be excited about what I'm wearing. Being on the road all the time, it's various articles of clothing that keep me inspired and feeling good. A fun or beautiful thing to wear can change your day. I think spontaneity and not adhering to any narrow styles keep me happy.

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

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.

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