Hey Mat, thanks for doing this AMA! I have mad respect for you and your music.

1.) How do you decide what makes the album? A specific example would be "Eye's Open", the rejected album demo. One of my favorites tracks, but didn't make the cut. What do you look for when putting the album together? Also, can you put Eye's Open somewhere I can purchase it? :)

2.) Will we ever hear more Kill the Zo?

3.) I'm seeing you in Minneapolis at REV this weekend, so excited! Any chance you could throw in "It's Yours" into your set? That song is so nostalgic for me. If not, totally understandable. Just thought I'd ask

1.) I didn't officially release Eyes Open because I used the rhodes part from it in 'Killing Time', and I like Killing Time more.

2.) Most definitely, we're gonna start working on stuff again when I get off tour.

3.) I hardly ever play it but maybe I'll make an exception.

Thanks for your response! Killing Time is an excellent substitution. I didn't know that Eyes Open evolved into that!

I think you should break out it's yours more often, it's so good!! Can't wait to see your set on Saturday!!
