"I was turned onto this by Rick Rubin. When we were writing White Pony I met with him to talk about him producing it, and he played me this record. I don't know why he played it for me, but I instantly fell in love with it. It's very soothing, super slow, a similar vibe to the Bohren or Sade, it's below mid-tempo, it's very slick, very warm. The lyrics are very simple but the vocals are right in your face, and under that the music really gets to breathe. The chord progressions sound really 1950s, those slow 50s picking patterns, the chord sequences are really simple, it's very honest, it's very pure."

"I revisited this recently after telling some friends to watch it. When you think of the time this was made, and you realize this is a story about a pregnant girl who decides to get her own place and make best friends with a gay man, it’s pretty astonishing. Everything about her life and the morality depicted in it is so 1950s, but she’s this outcast, and is not even very likable. But you’re completely on her side. Can you think of another female role like that? It’s a really complicated portrait of a young woman who doesn’t want to get married and just wants to live in her weird house with her friend."
