“ I can't create music if I'm wearing a mask and not being myself, and that was the problem with The Czars. ”
Reykjavik has a mixture of southern and northern mentality. There's a laid-back, relaxed attitude but also the feeling things are going to get done.
~ John Grant
I think the humor, when applied in the right amount, only serves to intensify the other emotions in a given song; it highlights them, makes them stand out.
I felt like a failure for so long because I wasn't able to access myself in the way I knew I would have if I was going to make music that mattered. I knew I was going to have to learn how to be honest.
I love a lot of different styles, but my heart belongs in electronic music.
