“I wanted from that moment for everything that I did to have an identifiable quality to it, a signature quality. And I hope in our music you hear that, that comes through, our identity comes through, ‘cause that’s always been totally crucial to me. I feel like slowly, inch by inch, we’re kind of creating and we’re evolving our own aesthetic.” (via Times Colonist, Photo by Frank Gunn)
