Random Notes

"'Sometimes' was written at the very end of our time in the studio," says frontman Ben Nichols. "We only had a day or two left when I finally finished the lyrics.  In a way they are the most personal on the record. My family always seems to work its way into my songs. Fathers and brothers and ghosts."

Women and Work will be in stores on March 13th, but you can download "Sometimes" for free now.

“Youth Knows No Pain”

Lykke Li | 2011

“Like on 'Youth Knows No Pain' — we are the ones that should demonstrate, because we can take it,” Likke Li said. “We can pierce ourselves, take Ecstasy, dance all night and still go to work at our McDonald's jobs.” Despite the hedonistic sentiment in the song, the Swedish singer also admitted in hindsight her youth had repercussions. “I remember when I was 18-19 and feeling that I know it all,” Li said. “I always feel that I know it all. But that song is about realizing you don’t, and reflecting, ‘Boy, if I only knew what would follow.’”
