The Only Way I Was Allowed To

Most Of My Early Records Were Not Cohesive At All, Just Collections Of Demos Recorded In Different Years. 'odelay' Was The First Time I Actually Got To Go In The Studio And Record A Piece Of Music In A Continuous Linear Fashion, Although That Was Written Over A Year.

With My Own Music, I Try To Get Away From Things That Are Familiar And Things That Would Be Easy For Me To Go To.

You Spend So Many Months And Years In The Studio, And You See The Clock Ticking And So Much Time Spent On The Minutiae Of Technical Things. And I Just Thought It'd Be Fun To Do Something Extremely Fast And Get That Rush Of Something That Had Some Energy, Something That You Weren't Tired Of When You Finished It.

Eventually, If You're Experimenting With A Sound That's Unfamiliar, It Gets Absorbed, And Somebody Comes And Does It Better, And It Becomes Part Of A Vocabulary.

There Are Certain Records That You Love Because The Songs Are Great, But You Don't Go To Them As An Example Of Great Production.
