8. Tell us about your current album, The Finest Somersault?
The album launched on February 8. The songs are about the old world of dying where it meant something. People don’t seem to care about dying anymore. It’s also to aim at all the cultural stereotypes.

9. What inspired you to make this album?
Musicians go wherever the inspiration leads and try to follow it.
10. Do you enjoy writing music and/or lyrics?
I write all my songs, and I enjoy it. I am a songwriter.
11. I really like the song and video of Eye of Storm. What is the meaning behind it?
It’s about all the different divisions in the country, people dying in school or a place of worship. We should be united with these threats.
12. Why did you choose such a simple style in the video, same for the song, Bells?
I don’t think it’s important to be too complicated with the videos. I thought the house was cool and was driving by one day and just loved this house. I shot the video, unplanned. It just happened to coincdentally be a house that Alfred Hitchcock filmed a movie.
