It's important to us to be successful at our music. We're ambitious people and want people to hear our music. But all the accoutrements are not that appealing.

More Janet Weiss on Wikipedia.The more you play with people, the more chances you're willing to take. It's an organic thing, how the songs are born. We play something and everyone starts adding to it. It's an intuitive process.
It's not something that immediately sounds familiar. On this album, it's its own creation.
The songs are really personal. They're really honest, even if they're sometimes unpleasant. The lyrics evoke so many emotions. Our analogies are visual and the metaphors are direct. Corin and Carrie are singing about things they care about. I feel it.
I am proud of this music. Most bands that started when Quasi did are broken up... it's the soulful connection between Sam and I that compels us to continue. When The Going Gets Dark proves that the blood, sweat and tears were worthwhile.
