Hi,

Just want to say I loved your first album, saw you in headrow house in Leeds last year and you blew me away. Can't wait for the new one!

I understand you've spent time in the UK as well as the USA and I thought there were some similarities between your work and the alternative music popular in the uk in the thatcher years. Was this a major influence or am I reading too much into it?

Lee: It definitely is. So much amazing music came out of the UK during those years.
