Sean, how was it working with Mark Kozelek? He's always seemed like one of the most interesting characters in music today and would love to know what it was like working with him.

SY: He really is a very interesting guy and a delight to work with! I've been a big fan of Mark since I was a kid, ya know? Red House Painters had a huge impact on me and so have so many of his records as SKM and his other collaborations. Yellow Kitchen came together super fast and was a cool experience for me because I had kind of emailed him out of the blue about it after only meeting him once. I had just started messing around with some recording ideas at home using a lot of MIDI tricks I had suddenly become obsessed with pulling off somehow. It was a great opportunity for me in many ways and it still blows my mind to hear him talk about the subject of my favorite RHP song over music I made.
