Dev Hynes

The issue I had with the Lightspeed albums was that usually the main purpose with them was to fulfil really dorky musical goals, like, 'I wonder if I can do that,' and it was all very personal.

When I formed the band and created the Wildabouts with my friends, we decided we wanted to make a band-sounding album, a rock-sounding album.

We have that storytelling history in country and bluegrass and old time and folk music, blues - all those things that combine to make up the genre.
