Q: Hello! I’m a massive fan of your sound and style. I had a question about your writing. Do you just wait until inspiration hits or do you force yourself to write a song every week etc.? Do you normally start with lyrics, music or do they all just get done together? In spirit of my username, what is your favorite kind of sandwich? Thanks so much for doing this AMA
A: i collect ideas, words, melodies when i’m on the road. when it’s time to write an album, i go to work every day. 10-7. day job!
Q: Annie, what would be on your ideal sandwich?
Also, “The Apocalypse Song” has always given me chills. I’m glad you understand basic astrophysics!
A: peanut butter and jelly
I’m glad you like physics too!
Q: Annie, of all the venues you have performed in, which one is your favorite? How about your favorite venue to see a show?
A: honestly, any place where people are in the room and psyched to see the show is a great venue
Q: All-time favorite rap album?
A: dre – the chronic
Q: Envious guitarist here… I’ll understand if this is personal, but what in the hell do you use to get that low, vicious distorted guitar tone? You know the one, like a grizzly bear roaring on hind legs, wielding a chainsaw in each hand. When you blast into those heavy parts from your warm, delicate clean tones, it makes me want to fuck shit up. In a good way
A: if you want to fuck shit up, you should definitely fuck shit up
Q: Will you ever collaborate with Sufjan again? Cheers for the music, the new album’s great
A: i love sufjan’s music. i played in his band for a couple of tours on “come on feel the illinois(e)?” — it would give me too much credit to say i “collaborated” with him. he’s a beautiful musician
