I think I spent more time on the mellotron than on any other instrument in the studio, and it got to the point where I was like, Well, you can't write an entire album on this instrument. But maybe I would!

More quotes by Zach Condon
When a city is unstimulating, you get pretty isolated.
Zach Condon
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.
Zach Condon
I can't work in Brooklyn. Unless I'm completely locked away in a studio, there's just too much distraction and stimulation.
Zach Condon
I'm swept along by larger forces out of my control.
Zach Condon
It's just not an image I had ever put out about myself - the bedroom synth guy. The whole thing seemed ridiculous.
Zach Condon
I'm very flash and burn - the first thing that comes to mind is obviously the best idea, and that's because it should come out of a natural place, and if you don't do that then you're writing someone else's music, not your own.
Zach Condon
I'm sure that's every adolescent's complaint about their home town. When a city is unstimulating, you get pretty isolated.
Zach Condon
There was always a unique Beirut sound, it was always there, and so this time I just dove straight into that, instead of daydreaming and wandering.
Zach Condon
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.
Zach Condon
I was always looking outside of myself for stories and ideas and influences and then I kind of realized in 2010, that all of this time, I've developed a sound. And I've never fully explored it.
Zach Condon
After so many years of whispery, DIY vocals, there's this new generation of voices that are really starting to burst through the seams.
Zach Condon
It feels much more natural to move forward and grow with the instruments I've grown accustomed to. Piano, accordion, brass, ukulele.
Zach Condon
I could probably spend the next five years reworking an album from ten years ago, if given the chance, to make it better - make it best, so to speak.
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
The more I know, the more I realise I don't know. And the more I realise I'll never truly understand.
Zach Condon
It's a natural tendency of mine to not even listen to lyrics.
Zach Condon
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.
Zach Condon
I think, if I had my choice, I would spend all my time in the studio writing, and creating music.
Zach Condon
I love the community and the entertainment too much. I'm used to it - it's what I saw first.

I was a very good student until about sophomore year, and that's when I just became so disillusioned with the whole thing that I just became an awful student. I was still making good grades. But I was cutting class three days a week and faking papers that I got off the internet.
