Monday, 28 May 2007
Since after your label from Orangewerk and Presswerk 13 how come you have change the label to endpop and why do you call this endpop ?


Claude: The meaning is simple. It can mean "End Pop" or "Pop Music for the End". Why did I choose it? I didn't. It chose me. Presswerk13 was an offshoot of Orangewerks. Sometimes you need to find your true thing. I love Endpop.



As you are working on the 19 EP which will be out soon why is the album call 19 EP ?

Claude: The album 19 is so called because it represents who I was at the time. And it is an album that was done all in one day, straight to tape. Very old.


When did you started singing at what age when you started play your instruments ?

Claude: I sang on the radio when I was barely 3. I picked up the guitar first, but it was my Dad's Reel to Reel which got my imagination going.


When you recorded your 2nd album Worth, how did you and Dania learn how to speak German? Was it hard for you guys to understand their language do you know how to speak German ?

Claude: I don't speak German. Dania does a little bit, but for the most part we just adapted. I got good at pointing to things and grunting. It didn't work at first, but then the Germans got the hang of it... "Here comes the crazy American who points at the bread..."

What do you think about the new music of todays new generation what bands do you like from now today music ?

Claude: I like Elefant, Arcade Fire, The Faint, Ladytron, The Walkmen, Goldfrapp... I love this time period for some reason. There's good music in the air. I like Air, too. Radiohead.


How did you guys met with other bands like Cause and Effect and The Echoing Green ?

Claude: With Cause and Effect it was from both touring and having one of their band members share an apartment with Dania.


How long does it take you to complete an album before when you release it on stores ?

Claude: As long as it takes. I can never put a time on it. It will always be late... :(


Do your really miss the old day the way it used to be like your hair style and the music ?

Claude: Hmmm. No. Yes. No. Sometimes.
