I'm not an amazing trumpet player. It's mostly smoke and mirrors. You shake the trumpet and it starts to vibrate in a ridiculous drunken way, or you flop notes at the right time and you don't have to play stuff that would take seven years to learn.

My thought with harmonies and melodies in general, is that if it doesn't come right away then it's never going to come at all.

I want a song that raises the hair on the back of my neck when I sing it live and I want to feel it every time.
Zach Condon
It feels much more natural to move forward and grow with the instruments I've grown accustomed to. Piano, accordion, brass, ukulele.

I think that sonically, music speaks volumes more than words do, and I have always thought that and will continue to think that for the rest of my life.

I'm swept along by larger forces out of my control.

In the age of the mp3, you gotta make the package special, something that's worth owning.

I tried to go to community college for a while, and it's a funny story. I walked into the English class on the first day, and they told us to write about what we did over the summer. I can't remember exactly, but I think I walked out exactly at that point and went to the office to ask for my money back.

I just reached the point where I realised, I need to stop repeating myself if I'm ever actually going to enjoy the music I'm creating.

After so many years of whispery, DIY vocals, there's this new generation of voices that are really starting to burst through the seams.

My dad is obsessed with music, so I was raised around this guitar player that really wanted me to be a guitar player.

I dropped out of high school and I tried to go to community college for a little while. I can't be a student. I always hated that lifestyle.
Zach Condon
I'd been living out of a suitcase since I was 17 years old, and it just got to the point where it was ridiculous. Besides, it was really hurting everything I was trying to do in music to feel so consistently homeless was no way to endure touring and stress.
Zach Condon
I like to think that location, travel, etc, is a launching point for purely imagining.
Zach Condon
I think that there's a proliferation of music that is done entirely in the bedroom for an Internet audience, but there's no way in hell that you could actually kill off a live show, and its importance in the creation of music - it's just impossible.
Zach Condon
In some ways, I feel like I've been such a dilettante for so many years, just picking up instruments and stretching myself so thin.
Zach Condon
I put myself in the studio and I really made sure to say, 'Well, if I would normally reach for a trumpet, why don't I reach for the next nearest instrument instead?'

It's a weird thing to be nineteen and be in the public eye. It was a crazy thing, it was a big deal to me, and it changed me in a lot of ways. And now that it's five, six years later, I wanted to look back at that, the start of it all, the excitement and the naïveté about it, and it just fascinated me to reflect on all that.

What was pretty crazy was to plan a wedding around a tour. It felt very getting-hitched-in-Vegas style. It was like, we played a show in Salt Lake City, ran to New Mexico, we got married, and then I was off to Lisbon.

You can never not feel like that, as a working artist these days. It's funny - time off makes me nervous, but so does time on. At least the pressure wasn't coming from outside.
