https://app.cimediacloud.com/r/YUTRFvVY21U4
Nat: Marvin, we met on tour, we were on tour opening for Billie and, and she has these puppy rooms, and then I saw Marvin. I was like, my parent, my mom needs a dog, and I was like, I gotta get Marvin for my mom and then my dad was like so angry at us, but now they're, they're both happy and they love him. He's still a little bit mad. My mom's happy.

Drew: I was supposed to go to that show that you did with Billie Eilish in New York. You guys were like here and around and I was like, I'm going. I'm so excited. And then I got the worst flu, and all of my friends, I, we, we had 6 tickets. 5 of them went and sent me video from it. I was so bummed, but I didn't know that Billie had dog adoptions backstage.

Alex: Yeah, like a bunch of adoptions. There's like crazy animals that are backstage, like amazing animals.

Nat & Alex on How Their Past Influenced Their New Album “Nat & Alex Wolff"

Drew: Did you guys fight when you were younger? You're so close and you've been through so much together, and I relate. I mean, I relate to like how we've all been wonderfully, beautifully, privilegedly able to do what we are doing for so long.

Nat: But, but there's a lot, there's a lot of also difficulties that come with it and I think we were really lucky that we were together in it, you know, that we had each other.

Alex: We got our fistfights out of the way by the time we were like 12 and 9, so we used to fistfight as little kids and then we got over it and now we're best friends. We only fist fight every day, once every few days.

Nat: And this album was the first time where we kind of went back into the memory bank from that era, from when we were probably 11 to 14. And all the songs, all the songs were, you know, were reflecting that era and how it influences you because you don't even know, you get, you know, you get to be a certain age and you don't even know why you're reacting certain ways in relationships or in friendships, and then you realize, oh maybe it tracks back to when we were, you know, that age and there were formative experiences or amazing things that happened and traumas and all those things and now we're at an age, I think, where we can reflect back and see how lucky we were and then also the kind of weird challenges we faced.

Alex & Nat Connecting Through Music and Their Sibling Bond

Nat: And I think that music, music has been the best way for us to connect as brothers because sometimes even we're not, I don't even know what's going on with him when he's far away and he'll send me a song and I'm like I gotta check in on him. And I think since we were little kids it's been the way that we've connected and I think the evolution from the, the Naked Brothers Band is that we grew up and everybody that, you know, was listening to our music then, you know, they've grown up too, so there is like a whole new era of our lives and things and, and I think we have a, and your daughters will have it too. You have when you have a sibling, you have somebody to like, it's like a mirror, you have somebody to, to look at and say, OK, this is, this is where we've gotten to now we can look back and we can kind of go forward.

Nat on Recording "Soft Kissing Hour" with Billie Eilish at Her Home

Drew: Let's get into our first song. So Soft Kissing Hour. Now that's, I believe, song 2 or 3 and I thought what a great title. Talk to me about that beautifully titled and gorgeous song.

Nat: Thank you. I wrote that song, around, I was in a hotel room in Australia away from Alex and, I was learning how to play Coyote by Joni Mitchell from the Hejira album and she had this beautiful tuning and I just started kind of messing around with the tuning and then I wrote the song and then I ended up playing it for Billie and she said, I want to sing on this and I want to produce it. So then we ended up not going to a studio. We just went into her house and she has like a little setup in one microphone and I, we didn't even have a cord long enough to record the piano, so I was holding the microphone while Alex played the piano and if you isolate any track from Soft Kissing Hour, you can hear her dog Shark every single, yeah, snoring a little bit, kind of breathing, making dog noises and stuff. And when we sent it to a mixer, he was like, OK, so I'll take out all the noises, and I was like, no, leave it in. And there's something kind of homegrown and organic and magical about it because of that.

Nat Reveals His First Crush Was Drew & What "Crazy Car” Is About

https://app.cimediacloud.com/r/iAdTQzGjtwwx

Drew: I heard a rumor about what Crazy Car is about and I wanna know if it's true. Is it about love?

Nat: Yeah, I, as a little kid wrote a lot of songs about heartbreak and love before and honestly my first crush in the world was you from, yes, I'm telling you, from ‘Charlie's Angels.’ So maybe these songs.

Alex: Was Crazy Car written about Drew? I mean we don't know.

Nat: But maybe we're coming to the realization as we're on, as we're on the show, and it's not influenced by the fact that we're here and that you're there, but Crazy Car was, has been weirdly a song that's that people still bring up to me like at the at the Grammys like all these artists who are, you know, like Alex Warren and Sombr and all these people, they were coming up being like, I wouldn't be the same person without crazy cars like SpongeBob. I'm like, wow, that really, that song, and really when I wrote the song, I didn't even understand the piano. I was just kind of putting my hands in different shapes that I thought would make that would just sounded nice to me and so I've kind of tried to do that as I've gotten older, like try to not write songs for an intellectual place, try to get back to that kid state where you're just free.
