Hearing a unique melody for the first time, or a production element or the way a voice is recorded, can be as inspiring as any breakup. S: People, relationships, film, life, music… I love how Jeremy describes music as one big conversation. Often the situation will come from a particular lyric that comes to us, or the way the song feels, and then the details and depth of it will come from life experiences, so the song feels true in that way, but is never necessarily exactly what happened in reality. As far as inspiration for content, I draw a lot of inspiration from my life and the lives of my friends, putting myself in situations they’ve been in and then writing from that perspective. I still get such a thrill from being a part of that conversation hearing things I love, letting them influence what I make next, always moving forward and trying to challenge the status quo and keep things moving and improving. I love to think of music as one big conversation. J: My biggest inspiration is other music. Where do you draw influence and inspiration from for your work? We’ve got a bare, minimalist sound that pulls from hip hop, electronic, blues, pop and elsewhere, and we make music with big beats that you’ll wanna move to. We like to make fresh stuff that sounds familiar but unlike anything you’ve heard before. I produce, Sam sings, and we write music and lyrics together. For those who may be new to your music, how best would you describe yourselves as artists?
