Originally, 'The Monster' started out as this indie, Florence And The Machine, tribal-y, almost Spanish-esque dance record.
We're quite different from each other. Camila is the pop girl, Lauren likes the indie sound, Normani and I love R&B, and Ally is the pop-country, kind of church girl.
I hope people describe my music as lyrically driven, cross genre. Kind of alternative, kind of indie, kind of rap, kind of everything.
The first time I saw Lena Dunham was in 'Tiny Furniture.'
I love 'Wowee Zowee.' That was the first Pavement record I bought.
My music is a little bit of everything - R&B, hip-hop, EDM.
I play a lot of games. I love indie games.
Simplicity is at the core of Sebadoh.
No one goes to BrooklynVegan to read about content, they just go for drama. It's a tabloid, the scum of indie.
I've always liked funk and rock and everything.
I don't think I'm kind of universally known. I think in the indie world I'm probably better known than in some mainstream Hollywood terms.
I like to listen to African music; I like to listen to Brazilian music that's not just Choro. I love to listen to Radiohead, I like to listen to James Brown - any music.
I like hip-hop and rock music.
'Motherwort.' 'Great Leopard's Bane.' These are awesome band names.
I really love that 'I Can Feel the Heart Beating as One' Yo La Tengo record a lot.
If you are a superstar, or whatever you want to call yourself, a person who's had outrageous success, and you decide to go indie and tell the record companies to screw themselves? That takes a certain amount of courage. And bullheadedness, really.
