The title of your new album is A VIEW FROM THE TOP OF THE WORLD – presumably written while you were hiding in the basement… (at the time of this interview the city of NY was hit by the IDA hurricane). 

That’s exactly right hahahah

I came up with it after I wrote the lyrics to the title track, the epic “A View from the Top of the World”. I was trying to think of a title for weeks and weeks and weeks! I had so many different titles and contenders, but nothing was really hitting me and then I just looked at that song title one day and I was like - you know what, that would actually make for a great album title and it would be cool, because the epic would actually be the title track. Once I presented that to the guys everybody was into it and it worked out. 

Actually the song isn’t about extraterrestrials. It’s about terraforming, you know, moving off of this planet to go live on another planet and becoming the alien yourself. But having said that, there’s no way we’re the only life forms out there. There have to be more, right? The universe is just too big! 

That’s true hahah.
