The Marty Thau Interview
Jeremy Gluck, Bucketful of Brains, March 2009
"I've always believed there is a fine line between abstract and pure accessibility and that is what I've always looked for ... an artist who can be abstract and conventional at the same time and, most importantly, reach people. That's the magic we all seek. It's called originality ... and, of course, it's still about songs. That's the starting point." – Marty Thau
