I think that the climate within the band has changed, it's now in a more functional situation.

I know that if I went to other studios, like in Vancouver, that those are set up to be as professional and as true, so it's just a different flavour, it's a different sound, but I think both have their place.

So I was always around music and my dad was in his own way a progressive jazzer, a big band jazzer guy.

I was a thrower. I think I'm more of a pitcher now.

I enjoy what I do. I think it shows.

There's a band in the U.K. called Elbow. They're not that big in the U.S., but I think they're genius.
