I had these glorified ideas about San Francisco and its drug culture - I thought inspiration would just hit me and I would get these San Francisco drugs in my system and all of a sudden an amazing record would come out. But that's not really what happened at all.

I had to have the record literally taken away from me. I am such a perfectionist.

The touring band is DIIV, and the songs are always written with them in mind. But the new record is going to be more me.

Obviously there's so much about me on the Internet that you can turn against me, and you can make me into any person you want.

There are a million things out there every single day that trigger me - songs, smells, even the season that we're in, fall. Something about the air.

What I wanted was just to make music, and so, originally I just wanted to hide behind the album cover of the last record, and I wanted it to be almost anonymous.
