What they’re saying

“Sometimes you can feel another's love – you can sense it. It can be powerful even if not expressed in words. Sometimes love can be like being in awe of something, or someone – and this is my take on devotional music.”

— Alexis Taylor (brooklynvegan.com)

“It's about that dialogue with the impossible, the out of reach, the thing or person that is beyond you; a spiritual connection. The music that The Avalanches sent – which was made up of gospel samples – really reached me, so it figured that my lyrics touch upon these themes. It also had this disco vibe that was really uplifting. It's a euphoric-sounding song, I think.”
