There were other vocal melodies in my head that I wanted to change. We kept it really minimal in the studio but I was like this song just in its essence, clean, could be so much more. That kind of got me thinking I could rearrange the song because there was so much space for it, and so much potential for it to be more. Everyone banded together and it was very powerful sounding.

There was a college show where we didn’t have enough songs because most of the songs on Lush weren’t written, and we had to fill an hour so I was just like, we’ll do a full band version of “Stick.” We improvised, and it was like. And I like to have songs around for months before I deem them to be studio ready. “Stick” I wrote just maybe a couple short weeks before we recorded it. I recorded it kind of hastily and fast because we were also kind of talking deadlines for Habit, and we wanted to get it done. I've had that song for so long, and I actually think that’s the last song I wrote for Habit. Sort of, and also I had more time with that song. Is that kind of the reason why you decided to create a new version, because you had all these new resources? You redid “ Stick” which was originally on Habit, and you gave it a makeover in Lush. It was really just me and all of the resources and I was like, “Ohhh.” It was either I can make something really great or something that sounds like trash. Mainly since there was all this studio time and producers and money, I just didn't want to make something that was like. Yeah I think there's like less pressure there. It makes me a little crazy sometimes, but I think ultimately it works for me. So it's almost kind of hard to talk about the process in that world because I was so incredibly focused on appeasing my own set of standards. It’s such an “in-my-own-head” kind of process, I don’t really think that much about how people are gonna perceive the song. I had a time limit which was really frightening to me, and I think that my main goal was just to finish because I write super slowly.Īnd I think my main goal was just to write songs that felt personal and natural to play live. I really like writing long songs, so I wanted to stick with that as much as possible. I knew that I wanted it to be around the length that it is, keeping it kind of concise.


So I was wondering during the whole songwriting process, did you set certain goals up or specific things you wanted to touch on? You mentioned on prior interviews that a lot of the songs on Habit weren’t actually meant to be performed on stage in front of other people, but on Lush, this new record, you mentioned that you spent more time crafting it. And everyone except for him were sitting up and being scared because he was just doing that. There was one night after we saw Hereditary where we were all in one hotel room. And he does that, he clicks it in and out of his mouth in his sleep. On Twitter, people have been saying the mouth click has been ruined for them. No I want to see it so badly, I’ve heard amazing things about it. No, my mom is like, “keep that out of my house.” But I believe in my heart that Ouija boards open the door up. I might also just be hyper thinking that I have a connection to ghosts. I feel like I’ve had three ghostly encounters. Not since coming into the Bay, but I’ve had some creepy experiences in life. Have you run into anything spooky since coming into the Bay? I was watching a video you were in, and you mentioned that you saw a ghost in San Francisco some time ago. So we're shredding through the country, and then like lots of other countries. How are you doing? I heard you had a long drive today. Hope you got some good snacks because we're dipping into an interview with Lindsey Jordan of Snail Mail.
