Nick Thorburn Pitchfork Interview

“There’s a time and a place for trying everything, but there’s no explicit genre-specific which came with this record. That was just kind of what we underlined it with just to give it some perspective, some placement. It’s not pastiche; it’s not like we’re doing “Earth Angel” or whatever, and it sounded so ridiculous. It’s just that we’re both fans of the music– the Everly Brothers and early Simon and Garfunkel or whatever. We’re just trying to sing together. I love Jim’s harmonies and wanted to harmonize.”
