Why OH!?
It just gets a bit boring to see art on white walls, as if art has nothing to say about the world. It's bewildering and fantastic to go into a strange house and wonder which is the art, which is the owner's stuff and what the stories are in each house. It's all very surreal, but also very...
The piece centers on… the friendship of two souls. Their encounter and personal stories form the journey that connects many people's life stories.
Expect movements in the form of… very straightforward language. We both studied the underneath tone of the movements as we communicate...
You’ve gone from obscure psychedelic titles [previous release West Ryder Pauper Lunatic Asylum] to dinosaur names. What’s going on?
It just sounds good, you know. I could have used the word “triceratops”! It’s just that I’m obsessed with Latin words and...
The Horrors aren’t exactly full-on psychedelic, neither are you completely indie-pop. How would you describe your sound?
Well, I suppose it’s quite… I don’t know… I guess it’s psychedelic music in the sense that it hopefully gives you ideas. We aim to product...
How does your new sound compare to the work you did with Battles?

After seven years of touring I was totally depleted. Things weren’t slowing down so I drew a big thick line eight months in advance in the calendar, and after that I would stop completely. When I hit that wall it was a dead...
What's your songwriting process like?
Patrick and I wrote this album as a two piece. We rented a spare room at the back of an antique shop, with a very minimal setup: a piano, a guitar, a bass, a synth and a drum kit. Unlike our first album, every idea on this record was thought of in that room...
What sort of a dude are you?
I'm an asshole at heart but a sweetheart most the time.
How does it feel like to be called “a band”?
When Twin Shadow is on the road we are "a band" so it feels good. Off the road, it's just me.
How did the name come about?
From a motorcycle...
In your teens, you were the bassist of indie pop sensations Cajun Dance Party—how’s that different from Yuck?
We were only 15 when we started Cajun Dance Party as a fun school band project, but it all became too serious and out of hand when we were signed to make a record. I...
