Q:How’d that wedding photo come about?

Matt Berninger: In that picture, we’re at Peter Katis’ wedding—he produced Boxer, and we worked with him on several records before. That picture was just taken randomly. It wasn’t set up or anything.

Q: It’s kind of self-deprecating.

MB: Yeah, there was some of that to it, but mostly I think the reason we liked it was that it has this kind of surreal-looking, archival-footage feeling to it. It looked like it was from the ’50s. I think Boxer has this kind of disconnected-from-reality vibe going on.

You’re a bit of a jerk if you don’t like this album I think.

I tend to agree

and that’s a fact. 

there’s nothing I would rather set to the soundtrack of my sadness. 

try to be speechless for a minute
