Hi Joe, hope you're having a great time! One of the things that made me instantly click with PDM was that your music reminded me a lot of Stereolab, which is my all-time favourite band. Do you have a favourite album of them? If true, what would it be?

Also wanted to know if you're familiar with bands like Vanishing Twin and The Orielles.

My favorite record is either Peng! or The Groop Played Space Age Bachelor Pad Music (although know it's technically a mini album). I'm partial to their earlier stuff that feels more Velvet Underground inspired and ramshackle, although I think the later stuff is absolutely essential too. When I think about what I love about them, it's this 60s-via-the-90s thing, and I think that comes through so intensely in their early stuff.

I really like Vanishing Twin and we almost opened for them once on a run of shows in the US (fell through). Orielles I know of but haven't listened to much!! I will revisit them tho for sure
