| Rutili Interview At Pitchfork - ‘Actually, the way [Roots & Crowns] happened was we had all written out our own little order for the songs, and I was at the studio and we were wrapping up for the day. I was talking to my girlfriend on the phone, and she had a stack of tarot cards, and she said, “How many songs are on the record?’ I said, ‘I think about 15 songs.’ She threw 15 cards, and, in order, I wrote down the cards. Ben and I sat down, and that’s how we finally agreed on it. It was based on the cards that she drew, and it just kind of worked out. It was half faith and half, uhh, ‘OK, if this doesn’t work, forget about it.’ Doing something because of tarot cards is no reason, but it seemed to work.” |
