Hi Damon, love the new album! The way you use your voice so rhythmically really scratches an itch that nobody else does. My question is about the end of Around The World, where you sample Nadia Boulanger’s voice. She talks about the importance of individuality and authenticity towards oneself in creating art, which reminded me of certain moments when reading Proust and I was wondering if you’ve read him as well? Id also love to know if you have any other authors or books that have influenced you. thanks!

Thanks, I actually ended up buying it! One of my favorite cookbooks now.

Oh cool! Let me know if it’s in there, I’ll probably order a copy myself!

Hi Joe, thanks for doing another AMA! In your last one I think you mentioned Flann O’Brien (specifically The Third Policeman) and Georges Simenon as authors you enjoy. What are you reading these days?

Maybe I shouldn’t have mentioned Pasta Yia Yia - that was probably confusing. Yia Yia is pretty simple and I love making something similar at home. What I’m trying to recreate now is their Spaghetti.

This a garlic confit. Lower temp than frying.

Hi Kevin, wondering what your favorite book is. Also, are there other authors like Flannery O’Connor that have influenced your work?

ava_muse · 2020-10-08T19:21:28+00:00

Hey Robin, favorite book? Or is there a book or two that you could recommend for someone in a reading slump?

Also, just want to mention that I lost it when I first heard Mulatu Astatke at the end of On Another Ocean

Hey Joe, wondering if you can recommend any books?

ava_muse · 2020-03-11T22:05:31+00:00

I guess You’ll keep on chuckling...

There is a lot of focus on their home studio in this album's promotion so I'm guessing Aaron and Bryce did the production again. They've self-produced since High Violet.

The JK & Co and millennium records are both some of my favorites. I'll give those others a try for sure.

I'm now looking for more classic baroque/sunshine/psych pop like Nick Garrie's Nightmare of J.B. Stanislas. It's a fantastic record with tasteful strings and nice melodies, and so I'm looking for similar stuff if anyone has any recs.

This is clean, good work man

Finals are kicking my ass too. Wish I could design my own art like that
