Floater Quotes

I felt legitimized, because all the bands out there that were getting signed and getting press and doing world tours had a very uniform, homogenous sound. I like hard rock and metal, but I don’t have a lot of tolerance for it. I think why we got embraced by a lot of those people is because they felt the same way I did. I like bands that don’t have a cool factor. I mean, you can tell when it’s camp, like the guitar-face guy and when it’s Joe Cocker.

Well, we all were weaned on 4AD [the label behind the Cocteau Twins, Dead Can Dance, the Pixies, etc.] stuff. Dead Can Dance is always on the bus when we’re out on tour. A lot of it has come from that influence. It’s a strange recipe, because it seems like it works unbelievably well on a lot of levels on a lot of people, and it really doesn’t work on a lot of people, too. Not a lot of gray area. I’m a bit baffled at why.
