Art Quote by Ben Chasny
“Probably the art, in that a lot of the people who I want to collaborate with can do something that I can't do. Like with New Bums and Donovan Quinn, he is seriously one of the greatest songwriters in terms of words that is alive right now. So I really wanted to play with him to experience that, to play music with these really great words.”
