If You Calculate Every Single

I Had To Let Myself Imagine A Calendar With No Lines; When Every Single Day Is Being Predetermined Six Months In Advance, There's No More Fluidity To Time.

I Find It Pretty Fascinating How Humans Keep Gravitating Towards These Giant Centers. I Went To This Walled Medieval Village In France This Year, And It Was Truly The Most Crazy, Beautiful, Bizarre Place I've Ever Been.

I'd Hear Some Beautiful Sade Or Kings Of Convenience Ballad Remixed In A Club And I Liked That These Simple Little Songs Seemed To Be Masquerading. They Had Put On Superhero Costumes, Got All Beefy, And Here They Were On The Dancefloor. I Was Interested In That. I Can't Make Electronic Beats, So I Leave It To The Pros Like Boys Noize And Chromeo.

Gatekeeper Was Sort Of My First Attempt To Put A Little Bit Of A Frame And Boundaries Around Songwriting, And Try To Figure Out A Way To Approach It That Had A Sort Of End Result In Mind. I Havent Written Many Like That.

If You Calculate Every Single Thing You Could Possibly Need In Your Life, You Would Need No More Than 200 People To Keep All That Afloat: A Doctor, Food, Wine, Cheese-eating Friends, The Person Who Makes Paper, The Shoemaker.
