We can exhale a little.

We're definitely get sick of the comparisons. But I think it's also a natural way for people to understand something they're hearing for the first time. I do the same sort of thing. But I'm hoping that after a few listens people will start to hear what's original in our music.

It's definitely fun to tinker with songs, see how much you plug in there before it gets muddy and unnecessary. I don't think we intentionally try to layer, I think it's just what sounds right. Not sure there's one way to tell when a song is done. Some seem to finish themselves almost immediately. Some I don't think will ever be finished and still drive me a little crazy when I hear them on the record.

And you can't exhale,

We can exhale now. It feels like we got a little monkey off our back and we can gear up for Sunday.

Reading is breathing; inhale and exhale.
