In your AP Most Anticipated interview, you said you don’t write well while on tour because there are too many distractions. Do you have a lot of stuff written now, or will it require more time after tour to finish up writing?
I’m spending most of January in L.A. working on the new album. I’ve actually been managing to get a lot of stuff done while on the road, which is surprising. This is the first time that it has ever happened. I’ve never actually been known to be productive while on tour. There is a ton of new stuff; I have a lot of songs already done. I’m just going to be writing a ton more, so I will have a lot of stuff to pick from. It’s exciting.

Musically, what can fans expect from the new music? What direction are you headed? Are you going for the same kind of musical vibe?
I don’t know. I guess the only way to say it is just broader. I just want it to be better. I don’t want to put out the same thing that I put out on the last EP or the last album. I want it to be a different thing, but still have the definitive things that kind of make it the Ready Set. I try not to overthink too much the direction that I want to go in. It just has to be a progression. That’s all I really care about. I want to make things a little less electronic, maybe, and more just all over the place. We’ll see what happens.
