There is a long and interesting tradition of really marginal left-field music that becomes commercially successful. And I will, for a brief minute, fit into that tradition.
I never wrote music for the mainstream.
I'm not so interested in being indie just for the sake of being indie.
I think Depeche Mode music somehow appeals to the oddball, to the person who is looking for something a little bit different.
I know it sounds weird, but the kind of music I write isn't the kind of music that I listen to, which is quite underground, left-of-centre stuff like PJ Harvey and Tom Waits.
I liked anything that was a little bit weird, a little bit different. I always went for the psychotic, weird, 'dingey' bands.
My music isn't mainstream music.
We love playing music but we're too weird to play music.
I knew that I tend to always gravitate to the indie side of things.
I admire how Tarantino finds music that's semifamiliar and not famous: undiscovered gems.
I feel that my ear candy is a little different from the ear candy most people are receiving right now.
I preferred rock when it was in the dark, when it was a secret between me and the audience, when it wasn't mainstream.
I don't know if I would qualify as mainstream. I think I have managed to function pretty successfully on the fringes of the music world and have been able to play exactly what I have wanted the way I have wanted.
