about

As I was composing “I Like the Chords,” my spontaneous and more planful, detail-oriented parts came together in really interesting ways. Some of the lyrics popped into my head at 2 or 3 in the morning, at which point I simply recorded and went with them--even if they didn’t all make sense. Then I spent much more time tweaking vocoder sounds.

At one point it felt like it wanted to be a sexy song, but then it became more about just having fun and not being overly serious all the time.

The music video also reflects a meeting of spontaneity and planning. For example, there are a few parts where I’m pedaling a bicycle flying through space. I’m still not sure how that concept popped into my head, other than as a natural byproduct of really liking bicycles. But actually making it happen in the video took some planning and persistence.
