"The record I listened to most in the past year was our own, Hot Thoughts, though I haven’t listened to it all the way through in a while, probably since it came out, because we’re playing it live now. I still listen to the last track, “Us,” a lot when I need to chill out. Maybe because that one feels the most not like me, like it’s someone else’s creation. We fucking love that song. I want every record to be its own world, and this one fits the bill for me."

"I recently was taken to an old cinema in Atlanta to watch this. I hadn’t seen it before, and it resonated with me for weeks: it’s quite preposterous and absurd, but it’s a real picture of alienation juxtaposed with love and growth, and this exploration of losing your visibility even when you’re the focal point. There’s something so stark and brutal about the film. And also to watch it after Bowie’s death, it resonates a bit more, because it feels like there’s a little bit of his soul captured in the movie."
