What do you think is different about it? We can kinda sing now. At least on the record. There's just walls and walls of vocals, like Beach Boys harmonies and stuff that was not on the old records. Massively choral singing. We did the vocals in like 2 seconds in the old days. We just didn't think about it. You know, just the digital editing. The whole record was recorded on an old mac at my house. Where the old records in the 90's were recorded in thousand d llar a day studios. It's absurd to think about now. I recorded this album in Logic on a mac that was about to die. I'm just surprised it's as well received as it is, considering that we aren't trying to please anybody but ourselves. People have said that it's not melodic. And I say, the melodies are there, we just don't repeat them over and over and jam them down people's throats. I think it's more melodic than people realize. That's my reaction, after reading people's reviews. Speaking of rev ews, I didn't feel like you fit into the term Shoe-Gaze after seeing your show. It was so much heavier than that. YES! I totally reject that term. I accept that people are going to say Shoe-Gaze and My Bloody Valentine, in every freakin review of us, but we don't represent that! That's not what we're about at all! In a way it's this fortunate thing because it gets people to pay attention to us because they perceive us to be SHOE-GAZE PIONEERS, but we don't self identify as that at all- I thin it's ridiculous. We are a California psychedelic band. That's where we're coming from. The term Shoe-Gaze means nothing to me. I don't even like the last My Bloody Valentine record that came out this year. It's just a marketing thing that lazy writers have latched onto. It's a curse but also a blessing because it means people are listening to us. It's our narrative. I could drive myself crazy thinking about it, but it's pointless. I'd rather just be grateful that it means there's a building audience for u somehow, you know?
