"And then as we played more and more as a trio, it became more and more of a situation where we realized we really knew how to use the fourth member of the group - that space. The thing about the trio is that it's the biggest sound you can have with the smallest unit."
"I mean this record does not sound like somebody's maiden voyage."

"Sound.Noisethe air employs.Melodies sweet.Tweet, tweet, tweet.Soft. Loud.A roaring crowd.Cluck. Caw. Crow.Tet, tet. Tis, tis.Guttural growl.Harrowing howl.Drip, drip, drip.Tap, tap, tap.Moan and groan.Endless drone.Ding, dang, dong.A church bell song.Vibrations in my earto hear.Sound."

"Let's get one thing straight: there's no such thing as the Bristol sound."
"Sometimes I just hit the keyboard in a way I'd like the rhythm of the tracks to sound."
"Get someone else to blow your horn and the sound will carry twice as far."
