Being that you're three albums into your career, do you feel like there are any other themes you’d like to explore now that you have some more room to work with?
You have to continue to keep people guessing a little bit. Every time when they think they’ve got me pegged, I’m going to move the peg a little bit. I think that it’s important for me to evolve as an artist, and that’s why it’s important to me to keep educating myself and absorbing education in so many different formats, whether it’s a museum or a book or all of those things, to be able to absorb the world and culture and history. It helps influence my music in this weird way.
I think that, eventually, I’d like to do an acoustic record. I’m not sure if it will be this next one. I’m not really thinking about the next one just yet. I have to be on tour until spring 2015. We’re in lockdown. I know my schedule pretty well, which is frightening.
