"I had an interviewer ask me yesterday if I was on psychedelic drugs when I did this record. I wasn’t. I haven’t taken drugs in God knows when, a long, long time. And he asked, ‘Well then why does it sound that way?’ It sounds that way because I’m open, I’ve opened up. Being in touch with the creator of the universe is kind of a psychedelic experience in itself. If you can be in tune with the universe around you, when you’re just one sheet away from your subconscious mind, man, it’s quite a psychedelic experience on its own. My belief and my faith plays a huge part in what I do now. But it’s not about being in a church. It belongs outside of a church. It doesn’t have to do with proselytizing, it has zero to do with conversion. It as everything to do with expressing back what I’ve been given." -- Damien Jurado
"When I started writing songs, it occurred to me that I should probably write them about something specific. You know, I had a lovely childhood, grew up in the country, great parents, lovely sister. So I guess the only [serious] thing that I could think to write about was the inevitability of these animals around me dying. But it wasn't as if… [she's laughing now] it wasn't as if this was a genre I was trying to invent. I didn't think, you know what people don't write about enough?" --- Cate Le Bon
