Congratulations on the band’s second Grammy nomination! How did it feel when you first found out?

The first Grammy nomination was totally bizarre.  The second time around it’s kinda like – it’s like a validation that it’s not just a fluke.  We can write music of a certain caliber.  This time we didn’t have a feature [2013 Grammy nod ‘Nakamarra’ featuring A Tribe Called Quest rapper Q-Tip], so it’s more like a humble achievement that has occurred just by ourselves without [a] gimmick or anything. So, that was cool.
