I thought "Everybody Goes" was dead, but it turned out to be the only way to start this. It's a lot of noise, a Big Star melody and a solo that worked by accident. Oh yeah, and the intro is lifted off "Taxman." I thought it would be too sudden to just start the song. The rest is just me trying to write the kind of jangle pop I actually want to hear. "Broadly Speaking" is my personal little pastiche of 80s indie pop and post-punk. I should probably have released it under Sarah Records. "Trainwrecks & Tambourines" has a keyboard orchestra because I was listening to too much Zombies, and the vocals are what they are. People say "Song for Brian" sounds like C86 or Gerard Love but I actually just think it’s the first time I got the production right. The lyrics to this one are particularly special--it's an homage to my musical idol, Brian Wilson, and I tried to encapsulate what his songs make me feel in my very own song. As for the EP, it's a bit meaner than the twee stuff, maybe a bit more shoegazey, but I'm still just drinking from the same well as everyone else.
