“Music is just, it’s the base code, it’s everything, its the background. I’m always humming something. And the thing I look out for in music is honesty, that moment when you feel like somebody pushed themselves past this kind of barrier of keeping your guard up, you know? And you suddenly, you break through, and you feel you got this moment, this perfect moment where you break through and you see something real, something underneath, you see the bone through the flesh, you feel a glimpse of the soul. When the voice cracks, when the guitar feeds back a little bit and you just feel like you heard something true and something that is undeniable, something that can’t be taken back. That’s the moment that I love in music, that’s what I try to do with the music that I make and that’s what I want to listen to.”
