What realizations or changes in perspective did you experience while working on your last record, “Fast Idol”?
Well, I think what I was feeling while working on the last record was that things happening in the States were unexpected. It was changing my opinion of who people really were, and who we really are is different from what I thought. I feel like we’ve all had to grow up a little and see, well, some people were already grown up, but I can speak for myself when I say I had to mature and confront a sort of seedy underbelly of society that I wasn’t necessarily aware of. I’m not a naive person, but I just didn’t think some of these elements existed or that certain things could happen in this country.
