When did you write “Animal”? That seems to be the turning point for you.
That’s why it’s at the end of the record, that’s where I believe, sonically, the next record might be going. Me and my brother had a silly punk band before, and I loved pop music and I liked catchy music, but I think I also am possessed to be what some critics might deem as silly pop music. I think I have more shit to offer, so I think that “Animal” is a nice segue into the next record, hopefully. I wanted to be very — who were we trying to emulate? — like Flaming Lips-y, Arcade Fire-y.
Not to say I won’t still kick it, but I write about what I do, and now I’m over it, so back to Nashville. I got a Dobro, I want to learn to play that really well, and I want to buy a house so I can get an organ. I want to go there.

Her piercing reminds me of when Joan Osborne came out and had one in her face. Or Kelly Clarkson. It’s like a misstep that I wish people would realize is trite in the spectrum of a career that is based on looks.
