"Is it a coincidence that stories from the private life became more popular just as the grand hope for public redemption through revolution was beginning to sour? I witnessed a similar shift in taste in my own time. In the 1960s, while a hopeful vision of a just society arose again, countless poems and plays concerning politics and public life were written, read, and performed. But after the hope diminished and public life seemed less and less trustworthy, this subject was less in style."

“I don't think a lot of the times Foxygen songs require much editing. Our band rarely records a song and go, "God that sucked. We shouldn't show that to people." We're pretty confident in the way we make music, that rarely falters. We've just been doing it for so long, it's like a science between us. There's not a lot of times where we cut something or decide to not record it.”
