With the current pandemic, the state of the music and touring industry has dramatically changed. Where were you when everything was brought to a halt?
Daniel: I was in my apartment in Los Angeles after just having gotten back from panic buying junk food and cans of beans. It wasn't exactly glamorous.
Sofia: I was also in my apartment, but the night before everything locked down I was at a Tame Impala show with thousands of other people. Needless to say that was pretty freaky to think about.
How has that affected your plans for the coming year? Did you have a tour planned, upcoming album release?
Sofia: Well, obviously all of our live plans had to get postponed or cancelled, but it really allowed us to focus on the visual content of the release as well as the quality of the music.
What have you been doing to fill/make the most of your new-found free time at home? How are you supporting your mental health through all of this?
Daniel: I've been getting up at 8am every morning, running, making music at healthy hours of the day, and screenwriting for fun in my free time. Been reading a whole bunch. I've got to have other creative outputs otherwise music starts to get pretty stale.
Sofia: Today was my twenty first day of meditating in a row, that's something that's really been keeping me sane lately. I've also been painting a lot when I'm not working on new music.
How are dealing with the Covid second wave?
Daniel: Staying inside and learning how to make pasta, mostly. Also drinking whiskey. There's lots of whiskey involved.
Sofia: Honestly I've been worried a lot about my dad who's a COVID nurse on the front lines in Miami. It's pretty crazy there, although it's pretty crazy everywhere right now.
Do you have a message for everyone at home reading this?
Daniel & Sofia: Be kind to each other, be kind to yourselves, and if you have the opportunity to get the vaccine then please, take the vaccine.
