"Each person comes to have this musical experience, this moment with us, where they get to sink into our world for a little while. Itâ€™s this very unhurried world. Itâ€™s fairly quiet, itâ€™s contemplative, but it can be quite panoramic. I think people think interesting thoughts at our shows, and they go rather deeply into some personal experience of their own. Iâ€™m really proud that our music seems to connect, because itâ€™s not for everybody. But for the people that our music works for, it really gets down pretty deep in there."

In performing this protective task, the good family was to be as self-sufficient as the good man.”
