Save Your Breath: I was tired of meeting with people in the music business -- managers, lawyers, label people -- none of whom seemed at all interested in working with our band. I finally realized that none of this was even important to me, and that I had completely lost sight of what really mattered: playing music that I liked with friends that I loved. I decided I no longer needed anyone's approval, and I wrote this song.

I then proceeded to disregard everything I wrote and signed a record deal. I stand by every word in the song, and it means more to me now than the day I wrote it. It was Matt Wallace's idea to add a bridge to the song, and I'm glad we listened. I like this one a lot.

antiMusic: Your last record Under the Skin was largely an acoustic record. Gift of Screws has you rocking out more. Was it purposeful to divide the two records into these collections or was this just the material that presented itself to you in both instances?

Lindsey: Well you know, I did have a very specific idea last time of just taking the finger style and applying production values to it and it was as much about what I DIDN'T do, you know, the lead, and probably very little bass or drums. I was kind of was thinking I was going to approach Gift of Screws in a similar way, maybe stepping it up a little bit. But I certainly didn't think it was going to end up rocking as much as it does. It's just...it's basically what you said you know, you start working on something and you have to sort of be open to where the work sort of wants to lead you, and in fact it seemed to want to lead me in a direction where it was sort of hitting the wall rocking so, you know, I sort of let it do that.
