You started out making music in your bedroom – is making music a form of escape for you?
Yeah it's a whole different world, you kind of forget about everything else going on when you're recording.

You use Garageband to make music – so do you think technology is making it easier to create music on little to no budget?
Yeah. Technology. The internet is the perfect example of that. A place that most everyone has some sort of access to is an easy way to be heard. Programs like Garageband are readily available for free download on websites so most anyone with an idea and computer can do it.

Blogs and internet picked up on yr music and it spread from there - did the speed of it catch you by surprise?
Yeah, it all happened so fast, I think it caught me a little off guard. The sudden swarm of attention is just weird. I like my personal space ya know?

What do you make of this current resurgence of acts and labels making music and art on little-to-no budget? Do you feel any association with this so-called lo-fi movement?
I feel association with certain bands and labels, but not necessarily in a 'lo fi movement' or whatever.

Can we talk a little about Primavera? Did it all feel like things had happened too quickly and crazily and you just needed out for a while?
Basically I got too fucked up to play. Drank too much, took some pills, and ecstasy I guess...I wasn't coherent by the time I was supposed to play so that was that. As far as 'everything' goes, I think people forget that I've been playing live as wavves for only 4 months... I'm bound to make mistakes. Primavera isn't the first, and I'm sure it won't be the last. I'm just some guy. I'm not perfect. I'm not going to make all the right decisions, that's just what it is.

What have you been doing in yr downtime?
Recording. avoiding phone calls and emails. It’s been nice.
