"I think all of us are inspired by other mediums besides music. We don't listen to music that sounds like the genre that we're in. For me, it's a lot of film. Inland Empire, the David Lynch film, was a theme for me throughout the writing of the record. Now we're actually working on a soundtrack with the director Edgar Wright, who did Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz. Nigel Godrich curated the soundtrack, and we did a song on the soundtrack. And they're going to be filming in Toronto, so they're going to be working in our studio, and we're really happy about that because I get a lot of inspiration from filmmakers." – Emily Haines (Source)
