"2014 has been a year of wonderful, ethereal women singers for me. Angel Olsen, Sharon Van Etten, Marissa Nadler's 'July' takes the cake. There's a song in here 'Drive' that just... and 'Dead City Emily.' Such a good record."Watch this moment

"These guys blew up this year but this is my favorite record by Future Islands, 'In The Evening Air.' It has this vibe to it that's so subtle... if you mix those two together and you put on this record, it's a perfect combination of just like vibe, pure vibe. This is such a good record."Watch this moment
"It's like post-rock, hardcore, blissed-out awesomeness and the drummer is really amazing in it."Watch this moment
"I love the first one they put out. It was like super bedroom rock, pretty DIY-made. But this one took it up to a level of production like it's hazy, woozy pitch... like it's... I don't do a lot of drugs, but my mind always wants to do drugs and if I was to do a large amount of drugs it would be to this record. Especially the song 'Mute.' It's fantastic."Watch this moment
"Then, since I'm from Philly, Philly rules to make music in. I remember when I first heard this and the whole freak folk thing happened. It was like listening to the future and the past."Watch this moment
"I listen to 'Dopesmoker' by Sleep probably once a week. Then I get in a really cool mood after I do it, because I feel like I'm in a spaceship. I hike to 'Dopesmoker' all the time."Watch this moment
"I think it's in Rolling Stone's top 100. It's 'Weird Al' Yankovic, 'Dare To Be Stupid.' I got it on tape."Watch this moment
"I think it was the same day, I got the 'Wayne's World' soundtrack and Aerosmith's 'Get A Grip.' But my brother got 'Appetite for Destruction' so that was the one we listened to the most."Watch this moment
