I don’t remember what the process was, I was probably just being an emo baby about something and wrote it. I basically wrote the song before I wrote the lyrics and ended up piecing some lyrics together after the fact. I just remember having the chord progression for a while and I bought this new pedal that made that sound and I put it through a fucked up amp. That one I wrote even before “Ugly Brunette.” I started writing it when I was 17 or 18 then we eventually finished it together a couple years later. WHAT DO YOU REMEMBER ABOUT WRITING THAT INITIAL VERSION?ĭG: To be honest I don’t remember even writing that song.

I WANTED TO ASK YOU ABOUT THE MAKE-OUT VERSION OF “ORANGE PEELER.” IT’S ONE OF MY FAVORITE RELEASES.ĭG: I like the make-out version better than the OG. It was super nice of them because we were definitely wicked loud. We were playing in my parents basement for a long time.

THAT BRINGS UP A GOOD POINT, HOW DID YOU GUYS GET INVOLVED IN HORSE JUMPER?ĭG: Jamie and I have known each other since we were children. I was definitely into writing more abstract stuff back then or collaging lyrics together. It made more sense to me after it was written. A lot of our stuff back then was just stream-of-consciousness. I had watched a movie and someone said they were an ugly brunette, I was like okay I like that, then I built off that. I don’t think John was in the band when I wrote that, so 8 years ago. I think I was 19 or 20 when I wrote that song. YOU’RE GOING TO HATE MY NEXT FEW QUESTIONS, BUT I DON’T THINK I CAN INTERVIEW Y’ALL WITHOUT ASKING ABOUT “UGLY BRUNETTE.” WHAT WAS GOING ON IN YOUR LIFE WHEN YOU WROTE IT?ĭG: I have to think way back. That’s usually what I think about more and feel better playing. I’ve always just been more focused on the stuff I’m working on.

My songs are like my children or something. I just let it happen, and it happens.ĭG: I wouldn’t say numbing, I still feel emotionally there. It can be out of body-ish when we’re performing.

After the first song I was like ‘oh yeah, I remember how to do this.’ WHAT’S IT LIKE TO BE PLAYING AGAIN POST-COVID?ĭG: I definitely felt nervous, like I was going to throw up.

We had an off day so we booked this show. I SAW YOU LAST NIGHT WITH INDIGO DE SOUZA! HOW’S TOUR GOING?ĭimitri Giannopoulos: Tour with Indigo has been awesome! They’re a really great crew.
