Is it another challenge to play this album in a live setting? Do you ever take that sort of thing into consideration when you're writing a song?
We actually made a point, when we first started this record, to be as idealistic as possible. To not think about any live setting at all, which actually did present quite a challenge when we were done with the record. But, at the same time, not thinking about it allowed us to make the kind of record we wanted. But as far as live, you know, it provided a roadmap to how many instruments, and what kind of instrumentation we'd do. People are playing three or four instruments but it's really fun. We were kind of scared at first!
