“I immediately felt welcomed, whereas in Massachusetts, I'd grown up there but I …” — Adam Granduciel

I work off of my early demos. I'll keep adding on top of that, but I usually gravitate towards whatever that original idea was.

I'm still undisciplined in the fact that I'm not writing anything down. I just get these lines and start piecing it together and then going back.

If I improvise vocals at an early stage of the song, I just kind of listen to the roll, and then I kind of have a little vocal hook.

When I learning to write songs, I never really was interested in the chorus.
