Moving onto the album itself, there seems to be a great deal of thematic unity. Is that a face value misinterpretation, or is that the design?
"I mean it’s fine if that’s there, but it wasn’t intentional. The songs are written discreetly, you know, and kind of assembled, but if there are those kind of thematic things, it adds a richness to the whole thing. But we never set out to have a theme, at all, lyric-wise, or even in a musical sense."
