Quotes
SCN: I think the making of Little By Little…, the internet release and license to Kill Rock Stars, the subsequent touring—however minimal—and the overall response to the album has given me a sense of self-determination I really lost during our major label period. More than that, it kind of closed the books on the life-altering disappointment that followed the sort of non-release of King James Version, which was an album that I personally and we collectively invested in completely. We really put all we had into it, and more, and just never lost faith that it was going to advance us artistically and somehow vindicate the compromised success of the first album. And then it was like it never happened.
