Someone once mentioned that your music sounds happier in an interview, is there any reason for that?

S: The first record was so sad and slow paced; I just wanted to do something that has a little bit more energy, and that sounds happier, even if it's still very dark, and very tormented, and very personal, and addresses so many issues in my life that it's like fully shining a light on all my fears. But at the same time it's a lot more punky, and gothier and bigger—it's really fun to play. Like listening to the Smiths you can feel like Morissey has like deep torment, but at the same time it still sounds happy. So I have a lot of happy, chorus-y guitar and synth parts, that make it a little bit lighter. Soko
