In Smoke + Mirrors, you’ve experimented with instruments from around the world. It was incredibly hard to narrow those down to the 20-30 songs that eventually became our new album, but in the end, Smoke + Mirrors was comprised totally of the new material. We had over 100 demos going into recording Smoke + Mirrors, most of which were written on the road touring since Night Visions. Has Smoke + Mirrors emerged from this set of songs? Does it include newer material as well? In a previous interview, you mentioned that you’ve narrowed down about 20-30 songs out of all the demos that you have recorded over time. We just feel fortunate that a lot of people resonated with the songs, whatever genre they belong to. We don’t really try to write to a specific genre, and really, alternative music has become such a broad category over the last five years. With Night Visions you broug ht alternative music to the mainstream audience and now you’ve done it again with Smoke + Mirrors ! According to you, why does your music have such an incredible cross-genre appeal? We got a chance to chat with the Grammy award-winning band who shared their thoughts on Smoke + Mirrors and alternate career choices, and also spilled the beans on whether an India tour is on the cards!
