"I think something that hasn't been covered in a lot of the interviews with this record is that the title track to Wind In the Wires is a love song to electricity. There's not so much electronics on the album, but there's a lot of electricity-- buzzing noises, low frequency noises, and stuff. Radio static, kind of analog noises.
The song is a realization that electricity is just another element. A lot of people have asked me "Why aren't you doing so much electronic stuff?" To me, there's never been a difference between electronic and acoustic. I've always had this idea that electricity is another element like wind or fire or water. There's lightning, for god's sake! An electronic instrument is just harboring a natural element the same way that a guitar is harboring an acoustic element. It's all nature, really."
