Just saw you on "Carpool Confessional"

I just watched Tegan and Sara's new "Carpool Confessional" which features you. T&S are hilarious as usual. I bet it's great to work with them!

So, I'm pretty pumped about the new album. They are always reinventing their sound, and it's always good. Anything you can tell us about it without giving away too much?

It's dope. The end.

I dunno, the songs are brilliant. Putting my thing on it: body-moving, poppy, very textural.

Plus, they are naturally-born comedians who also happen to be, great writers and performers with highly evolved and sophisticated taste. Win-win for sure.

Sounds good to me! Did you do any of the bass tracks? I'd love to hear what bass gear was used.

All the bass on my productions, yes. Information on lock until release, sorry.

YouTube search it. I think it was episode 5 or 6. All of them are pretty funny though, actually.
