calligraphypage asked:

What’s your writing process? How do you come up with all the individual parts of a song like “Sexy Socialite”? Is it all at once or does it take a long time?

Dave & P: On this album, it took a really long time. We worked on songs for six months to a year. We split up the writing process into ten different steps instead of 2-3 like we usually do. We wanted to make music that was more stimulating for us as writers. It used to be us coming up with stuff spontaneously, but this time we went over the record to try to improve it over time.

khalif-horton asked:

hardest song to make? easiest song to make?

Dave: The hardest song to make on this album was “Must’ve Been”. We worked on it for a year but it sounds like it was put together in three days, which is what we want.

“Slumming It” was the easiest song to make, whole thing came together in two hours.
