it's the name of a road that i would pass every time i picked up our keyboard player
i wanted a name that would paint a picture without really meaning anything
plus it just sounds nice

we played two shows recently, but our keyboard player is in nyc for the next year so we'll be doing a lot of recording
not so much performing

it allows for less radio-packaged music to get in the hands of people who would like to hear it
so that's great

as long as we were free to keep on doing what we were doing
yes

Radiohead is probably my biggest influence
but i also really like Grizzly Bear, Sigur Ros, Tortoise, Grandaddy, Air, and so on
