There's a certain type of indie fan who would balk at the prospect of there being value in pop music, but I think that's foolish. They're not really listening. Autre Ne Veut balkfanfoolish Change image and share on social
My first super-worn-out tapes were Michael Jackson's 'Bad' and the soundtrack to 'Dirty Dancing.' The soundtrack to 'Dirty Dancing' is actually really phenomenal. Autre Ne Veut baddancedirty Change image and share on social
Music, even if I ended up doing something different or do end up doing something different in the long run, it's just something that is life blood. If I'm not participating in some way, I feel like I'm wasting my time. Autre Ne Veut bloodendfeel share on social
I've never written lyrics. I get up in front of a microphone, and I just sing what comes to the top of my head. Autre Ne Veut fronthavehead Change image and share on social
I always thought I was depressive, and I only recently realized that I have more of an anxiety disorder than chronic depression. Autre Ne Veut anxietychronicdepression Change image and share on social
There were no good bands in my town. You know, there's like this magic town where every kid started a band in high school, and half of them were good and have careers based on relationships built at that time? That wasn't what my life was like at all. Autre Ne Veut bandbasebuild share on social
When I was twelve or thirteen, if you liked something that was outside of your friend group genre, you had to rationalize and explain it in some way. It's totally irrelevant, I think, now. I don't think anybody cares. Not young people, at least. Maybe journalists. Autre Ne Veut careexplainfriend share on social
I'm trying to use people like Meredith Monk and Philip Glass and Terry Riley as the backing tracks for new pop songs. It's really hard trying to use the format and write a pop song on top of avant-garde music, so we'll see. It could be cool, or it could totally flop. Autre Ne Veut avantbackcool share on social
There's a constant anxiety that comes from having an innate sense of self, yet existing within a homogenised, aspirational culture. Autre Ne Veut anxietyaspirationalconstant Change image and share on social
I spent a long part of my childhood repressing my more animalistic desire systems, and in a way, it permits me to do some of the stuff that I would want to be doing in a way that's more comfortable and doesn't break my internal rules. It expands the realm of possibility. Autre Ne Veut animalisticbreakchildhood share on social
