"Sure, we sound like them in certain analysis, but in a broader sense you could say we sound like 10,000 Maniacs if you don’t know music all that well. It depends how far you want to split hairs. Do I mind being compared to them? Yes, if people think we’re trying to be like them or sound like them… It takes the uniqueness away from us and tries to conveniently classify us. The same with comparing us to gothic bands. We’re not a gothic band, we’re not an anything band. We just make pretty music… To try to sum it up like that is problematic. You’re going to miss something."
