"I love Car Seat Headrest. This is the new album I believe. 'Teens of Denial.' It's kind of a cross between Pavement and old Beck and it's just really clever lyrics, really good lyrics reminds me of kind of like a male Courtney Barnett, which I love."Watch this moment

"I grabbed the new Aphex Twin EP, which I haven't heard anything from yet. I have high hopes for this. It's nice that he's making music again, so excited about that."Watch this moment
"Old J Dilla 'Donuts.' This is a record I've listened to a lot but I've actually never had it on vinyl... he was just light years ahead of everybody else and so, yeah I just wanted to get this on vinyl, because he was amazing."Watch this moment
"Radiohead, like a lot of people, has literally been one of my favorite bands since Nikki made me go see them at a club in England. 'In Rainbows' is my favorite but this is getting up there; this thing is so gorgeous and so insanely beautiful and Radiohead records take so long to absorb and it's almost like work."Watch this moment
"Can has been kind of an influential band for us for a long time. It's very linear but it's not necessarily verse chorus verse, it's much more groove-based. These guys are a huge part of that sort of approach to music."Watch this moment
