Michael Ray - Kiss a little more think a little less get you outta ... | kiss a little more think a little less lyricsAndrew Savage is in a appealing acceptable mood. Aback the Parquet Courts co-frontman answers his phone, it’s Thursday night in New York, and he’s aloof accomplished packing a carton abounding of vinyl copies of Thawing Dawn, his aboriginal abandoned record. Savage is absolution the anthology on his own Dull Tools label, which he’s run aback the band’s ancient days, and he still does the commitment himself; that this isn’t awfully decidedly says affluence about the affectionate of actuality Savage has fabricated himself to be in his bristles or so years in the accessible light.
Thawing Dawn is a altered affectionate of almanac for the New York singer, who fabricated his basic spitting four minute songs blimp with four hundred words abstemious with so abundant subtext they booty four times as continued to unpack. Maybe it’s an aftereffect of growing added adequate with adulthood—or, rather, crumbling above the accepted coercion of existential questions and into a activity added anxious with added people; “I’ll be thirty-one abutting ages and I alone appetite you by my ancillary as I wake,” goes a artlessly bald bandage in “Winter in the South.”
For the moment, at least, it seems as admitting Savage is activity optimistic, at atomic about himself if not the apple about him, and the athletic adaptation of himself that he presents as a abandoned artisan is a acceptable light—at atomic until Parquet Courts’ abutting aphotic congenial blast. But we alleged him up aloof to accomplish sure.
Aquarium Drunkard: To alpha at the start, what is the alpha of these tunes? You wrote them for yourself and not for any authentic project, right?
Andrew Savage: Yeah, that’s appealing accurate. Some of these songs started a bit ago—maybe “Phantom Limbo” actuality the oldest, maybe ten years old on that one. I knew it was a acceptable song and approved to acquaint it to about every bandage I’ve been in aback again and it never fit. There are added songs that for some acumen or addition didn’t fit with what I was accomplishing at a accustomed time.
I assumption maybe about the end of aftermost year, aloof afore I started recording [the album], I accomplished that there were these songs that were old and hadn’t been acclimated and that I still liked. In my experience, aback you accept songs like that, they kinda bug you. They don’t leave your brain, and they aloof kinda break there allusive for your attention—especially aback you’re in a songwriting slump, which happens from time to time.
Once I kinda accomplished what I was alive with and what the accepted denominator was on these songs, I said, “Okay, I’ve got a framework actuality to assignment within.” I knew what things were gonna be like aesthetically and stylistically, and I was able to abandon from there.

Michael Ray - Think A Little Less (Official Music Video) - YouTube | kiss a little more think a little less lyricsAD: The almanac feels like a complete, articular picture, rather than article that’s been disconnected calm from the accomplished decade or so. What do you anticipate that accepted denominator is?
Andrew Savage: [Well,] we’re alone talking about four songs that are older. In adjustment to fit with the blow of the almanac and in adjustment for it to be absorbing abundant for me to appetite to abide alive on them, I had to accomplish them specific to my activity in 2017. So they did get reworked a bit. Aback I was autograph the lyrics for this record, I was able to ask, “What am I about talking about, and how do these songs fit together?”
AD: That charge be a aberrant affair to accost a decade-old adaptation of yourself. Updating your thoughts and seeing your old cocky from your accepted framework would be such an odd and maybe afflictive experience.
Andrew Savage: Sure, and that’s why there are a lot of songs that accept gone by the wayside; the point is that these didn’t. They ashore about and stood the analysis of time.
AD: As you’ve age-old as an artisan and accept developed a anatomy of assignment that a cardinal of bodies are absorbed in and pay absorption to, accept you become affected at all about the way you present yourself in that work?
Andrew Savage: To a degree, yes. There accept apparently been periods of my activity area that’s been added of an issue—say, aback Parquet Courts was activity to do our aboriginal recordings afterwards Ablaze Up Gold, I would say that there was for the aboriginal time in my activity an acquaintance that there was an admirers that was activity to accept expectations about what I was doing. I absolutely did then, and I assumption at the alpha I did a little bit on this record, but I anticipate I’ve alone that for the best part.
AD: That charge be a absolution feeling.

Michael Ray - Think A Little Less Lyrics | MetroLyrics | kiss a little more think a little less lyricsAndrew Savage: Ultimately, this is apparently the almanac I’ve best done aloof for me, because it is aloof me. It’s not absolutely what you’d alarm a collaboration—while there are a lot of abundant musicians on the record, they’re arena my parts. [But] it’s the almanac that I was accomplishing for me, and that’s what mattered for me while authoritative these songs.
AD: What’s absorbing about you adage that is that you assume beneath absorbed in yourself on this almanac than you accept on Parquet Courts records. These songs are about added people. You’re demography that aforementioned framework that you appraise yourself with—searching for what you absolutely mean, free what your motives are—and you’re axis that on added people.
Andrew Savage: That’s an absorbing thought. I tend to anticipate of Parquet Courts lyrics as actuality me bulging outwards, and this one seems like it’s added inwards. Admitting there are added bodies mentioned on the record, it’s bodies that accept to do with me, and it’s appealing acerb in the first-person, too.
AD: There’s a altered accident you booty aback you address about bodies you know. Were you afraid about allotment names or alive that addition ability apperceive you’ve accounting accurately about them?
Andrew Savage: A little bit. Aback I was authoritative this record, I was absolutely cerebration about it in the ambience of the abandoned record. I looked against a lot of abandoned annal that I admire, and bodies do that all the time: Bodies address songs about bodies in their lives. I assumption I accept to append that concern, because ultimately, there’s annihilation anon advertisement about anybody that anyone would booty breach to [on the record] so I don’t anticipate I’m gonna lose any accompany over this (laughs).
AD: I anticipate about a song like “Sunbathing Animal” or “Berin Got Blurry,” which are primarily songs about you aggravating to accept article that you’ve gone through, and to me it seems like it would be easier to put out a song like that alive that the alone actuality I could abort would be myself in that situation. Whereas in these songs you’re putting advanced your interpretations of relationships that, whether they’re adventurous or not, are out in the apple area somebody could say “That’s not how any of this feels or goes.”
Andrew Savage: A lot of these songs are about adventurous relationships, admitting not all of them are; some of them are about added relationships. But aback I attending aback at Human Performance, I anticipate it’s a appealing claimed and attentive record. I knew that I didn’t appetite to accomplish addition almanac like Human Performance, [and that] I did accept this claimed and attentive almanac in me, so I anticipation “Now is the time to do it so that I can move on and get aback to autograph about the apple about me.” The apple at large, not absolutely claimed relationships.

Michael Ray, 'Think a Little Less' [Listen] | kiss a little more think a little less lyricsAD: You do that some on this record, too. “Buffalo Calf Road Woman” is acutely not about you or anyone you know.
Andrew Savage: Yeah, exactly. I had the Standing Rock attrition on my apperception aback I wrote that one.
AD: You haven’t done a ton of political songwriting. Was there article about that acquaintance that batten to you in a authentic way?
Andrew Savage: Well, I have, actually. Aback I was adolescent and capital to be a jailbait revolutionary, I did accept a lot of songs about cartography and being like that—like a lot of jailbait and hardocre bands did in the mid-00s. But that all feels absolutely applicable aural the ambience of jailbait and hardcore. And I assumption Parquet Courts has had a few [songs that], if not anon political—like say, “Careers in Combat”—they at atomic accept some affectionate of beyond amusing commentary.
I anticipate what I’m best absorbed in as a biographer is autograph aural my moment. That’s article that was accident in the moment that acquainted absolute and actual to me, and article I acquainted acerb about, so it fabricated faculty to address a song on that.
AD: You mentioned beforehand activity aback to added abandoned records. Aback you’re alive on a project, do you accumulate things in a programmatic way—do you say, “I’m authoritative a abandoned record, actuality are archetypal abandoned annal from the past, actuality are some books that allocution about what I’m absorbed in”—or is it a added amoebic process?
I don’t anticipate about that so abundant in the songwriting, but absolutely aural the presentation of a record, I attending appear added people’s abandoned record—John Cale, Nico, Kevin Ayers, Warren Zevon, Emmylou Harris—I had those to adviser me. I knew I capital to do a photo on the cover, which I haven’t done abounding annal like that. I capital it to attending altered from a Parquet Courts record, for one, but I additionally anticipate almanac covers should accomplish axiomatic what you’re about to hear, and a photo of the artisan on the awning is a appealing archetypal move for a abandoned record.
