It’s so funny that we went back there in the end,” Droste laughs. “It’s my grandmother’s house, we know it, and we can use it for free. And as soon as we got there, things started happening. Dan and I had never written a song together from the ground up and all of a sudden we were just doing it, really writing together for the first time. We were all getting involved in each other’s songs in completely new ways. There was a new level of trust. We just sat by the fire, Dan strumming, me singing, and it happened. Some of the best songs on the record, like Speak in Rounds and Half Gate, came out of that. We stayed there in isolation for two months straight.

Read an interview + playlist with Ed from turntable.fm on Stereogum →

STEREOGUM: So if it’s your most exposed album, where did the title come from?

ED DROSTE: I don’t like over analyzing things like titles and lyrics because I think if someone has the album they can come up with their own interpretation, which is far more important than me telling them what it means. I like when a listener finds their own meaning in a song, then it resonates more with them. And I think while the songs have moments where the lyrics are indeed more explicit than past efforts

STEREOGUM: So you want listeners to find their own meaning in your lyrics. It’s a mirror more than a shield?

ED DROSTE: There is always room for interpretation and the title is the same way. I don’t like to just say: THIS IS IT. And then everyone references an article that says, “oh they said the title means this.” So I think if you have the album, and you listen to the lyrics or read them (they are printed inside) you’ll find your own interpretation of the title.
