I'm very much a fan of having something tactile you can hold.

Escapism or nostalgia, for me, is not about having a terrible life and trying to get away via imaginary ideas or something.

My parents live out in the middle of nowhere, in the middle of this peach orchard. It's actually Peach County, one of the largest peach-growing counties in Georgia. It's very rural, and there is nothing much going on, so I guess that's had a big influence on everything as far as just not having much to do.

Texture is very important. Just the feel of everything. It's not always about recording everything in pristine quality and having everything mixed where it's absolutely perfect. It's more about a vibe.

It's very hard to find perfection in your life. But in the art world you can do that.

I'm not a very technical musician at all.
