Quotes

 * "We've become hyper-retro, we’re not dated, we’ve lost time-  we don’t have any sense of time, its almost like we’re living in a hologram of the past."
 * "I’ve noticed that I work really well with [improvisation] and it seems more organic for me."
 * "Deep down the topics [of the songs] are pretty dark, but I like to level that with something silly, like a tiger, but not only a tiger; the most generic tiger you can think of, like an internet tiger, or a bob cat, the first sample that comes up, the most generic, classic one, I think that’s great, it fits it conceptually."
 * [On using electronic presets:] "if you can make those cheesy sounds into a great song it’s awesome, it kinda undoes what you think is good about music, so you’re like ‘this is cheesy but I like it’ – it makes you question what it actually is you like about music, and I like that. It’s a challenge to use really generic sounds."
 * " A lot of times when I’m recording songs I have a story or visual in my mind."
 * "I tend to try and keep things a little pure for as long as I can, I’ve been able to do for a long time. Just keep it real I guess."
 * "Its really hard to do music and feel confident about it and when it comes to popular culture it takes something different. I can’t even explain it. I think it’s difficult to do that and not hate yourself, or feel dumb or feel like it’s not good."
 * "when I did the first record it was weird, there was no strategy in any of this stuff, I just did it for my own enjoyment, it wasn’t like 'I'm gonna make a record and put it out on a label'. They were just songs I'd recorded at home and put on my myspace, somehow people got hold of it"
 * Ian McQuaid: "[Her latest record is] both forward looking, and comfortingly familiar, musically drawing from synth pop, electroclash and sci fi soundtracks, all spiced with an unpredictably crazy touch that is Geneva's own."
 * Ian McQuaid: "As we had an enjoyably rambling conversation over Skype, she constantly collapsed into giggles"
