“It was more about getting together with other musicians and playing live. I needed to suss out a full set [for the Last Summer tour], and I didn't want to play Fiery Furnaces material. So half of our set was new songs that we ended up recording for this album.

You're suddenly in this controlled environment and you can make it sound exactly as you've been imagining it.”
