Dave has such weird targets of love.. "that default profile image"

[philip root]

Yeah, Dave is actually pretty crap at interviews, which is kinda great. Sick beats, lol.

[carolinenicolehall]

Let Amber talk! She's the best one

[OAnIncurableHumanist]

i mean, dave is the mastermind behind the band, he writes literally all of the music, so it makes sense that he be the one to talk about it the most.

[djLars1000]

why is even Amber there? she says like one thing during the whole interview... David seems like a self obsessed jerk...

[JShandling]

"It was kinda funny to be like looking out the window and seeing like the trees, gradually like leafing out and stuff and just be making these sick beats"

That's just straight lyrical genius!

[Jewish Slenderman]

Lil Wayne was good at a point and don't forget it's all about Dave and his beautiful songs

[ezyryder11]

Uh oh, looks like Apple's going to be suing Dirty Projectors for patent infringement now...

THANK YOU, HE USED TO BE A LYRICAL GENIUS
