The conversation covers their early recordings with Jonathan Rado of Foxygen, their breakout album Do Hollywood, and surreal moments like getting recognition from Elton John and collaborating with Todd Rundgren. They also get into: * Analog vs digital recording * Whether they were “born in the wrong era” * The reality of being an indie band today * Dream collaborators like Paul McCartney and Bob Dylan * Their latest record and upcoming tour Plus — a classic Beatles debate: John vs Paul… who’s better?
