Rachel, what was inspiring you to write down this time round?
Brown: Everybody’s Crushed was tremendous nihilistic and you will need to me to place artwork into the world that makes the world appear like how I would really like it to look. The one factor that may assure change is that if individuals simply need it and hope for it and consider that it is doable. I do not need to use the time period manifesting, as a result of that is form of a horrible phrase, however with this album I am praying for optimism relatively than I’m being particularly optimistic.
I perceive dinosaurs had been an enormous affect on you each. What’s it about the prehistoric period that captures your imaginations?
Amos: I’ve at all times actually fucked with dinosaurs and house. I feel it’s the precarious stability between significance and insignificance. Should you have a look at the human race from a chilly goal standpoint, the whole lot we might presumably ever obtain is totally insignificant in the context of the universe at giant. It’s not even near being of any significance to the cosmos. Whereas at the similar time, human emotion and human to human connection and the manner we deal with one another, feels vastly vital. It is a fairly trippy factor to consider. In phrases of geological time [we] doesn’t suggest something.
Brown: [Interjecting] What if an enormous meteor hits the Earth?
Amos: That is the factor. Earth might actually disappear. And on a cosmic scale, meaning nothing. Which is terrifying. That is what I used to be fascinated about with this album. However I am not likely sensible sufficient to speak about it. So I simply make fucking indie rock as a substitute.
Brown: Actually each single factor in the universe is like an atom shifting round. It is all vital. You have two choices: It is both nothing is vital or the whole lot is vital. And I wish to assume that the whole lot’s vital.
Like the Sky Ferreira song…
Brown: “Every part Is Embarrassing.” I actually was simply fascinated about that music yesterday.
Amos: I do not know if I’ve ever heard that music.
Brown: You undoubtedly have as a result of I 100% performed it to you and I mentioned, ‘Nate I need my music to sound like this.’
Amos: OK, I consider you.
