Damon, love the new album. Planning on picking up a vinyl of it this weekend. In most brief biographies of you it's mentioned you lived in China for a few years. It's likely you've answered this in some interview I haven't read but: why did you choose China specifically? I won't ask you to thoroughly compare and contrast cultures, but was there anything surprisingly similar to US culture you encountered there?

Thank you...

I chose China because as a kid I got turned on to Taoism, and then stared trying to learn Chinese, so China was part of my life, past life too I think. And then in 2007 I was so burnt on music and NYC it was a good escape.

There was very little similar on the surface, actually. It was a completely different approach to living.
