feastandexist: Three questions for ya: 3 years ago you tweeted this. What was ‘THAT song’? What made you decide this was going to be an ‘artist’ album instead of a ‘producer’ album? How involved was Porter Robinson in the feedback process? Did he contribute to any of the songs in some way?

Circa923: GF is brilliant, thanks for the tunes 🙂 One of my initial observations was how much the album feels “live” already, and almost like it’s a rock album from the future based on some of the instrumentation and production choices. Was there a focus you can share with us on your vision for the instrumentation and production?

OfficialJeremyXY: What was the song that took you the longest to write? Who were the kids in the choir you recorded? Was there a daft punk influence on the song Miracle?
