Our music just seemed to fit. Radio embraced it, and before we knew it, we were pop idols.

We've never been apart, ... The whole time, we've been working and recording. So it's not about coming back. It's about continuing. I understand why (some people) might think we had disappeared. Our visibility has been almost nil. But the point is, we're a working band.

We both have so much in common,

The contrast is that we're very different people, in terms of our personal lives and our personalities. We don't step on each other's toes. It's a delicate balance.

Funny, even though we're known as Philly musicians and our sound is predicated on that, I lived in Philly just four years, ... Then we both moved to NYC and lived there throughout the '70s and '80s.

We had a good run in the '70s but we got really big in the early '80s, ... It was a whirlwind. It was non-stop demands. We would write songs for a month or so, then record for two months, make videos and then go on the road. We put out a record a year from 1971 to 1985. We had more than one record some years. My personal life was my professional life. There was no down time.

It's a nice niche to have but it's not something we sit around and think about, ... But it is true. Duos don't last very long. It's a very unusual dynamic. It has to be very delicately handled and nurtured.

I'm a bit more grounded than Daryl. I'm more practical, more pragmatic. Daryl looks more at the creative side. We have very different families, we're very different persons. But because we grew up in the same area and because we love the same music, we have a bond.

In the '80s Milli Vanilli was ruined by lip-synching, ... but now it's looked upon as enhancing people's careers. Today the weirder and creepier your life is, the more successful you are. There no longer seems to be any substance [to performers and bands] today. Everybody just wants to be famous. We come from a more traditional old school. We're proud that we sing and play live. We grew up paying our dues, learning from our masters.

[Which is why it's spectacularly appropriate that The Funk Brothers - Motown's original house band - are opening up for Hall & Oates.] It's a great bill, ... We're carrying on their tradition. So we'll see when we get into Montreal if we're going to play a few songs together.

The purpose of this communication is a heads-up,

The idea was to take these great songs, take them out of their production style and their dated recording style, and show them for the songs that they are--as if you had just played them on an acoustic guitar. It's all about timeless songwriting, really.

It keeps us loose. You go out here and everybody's intense and the expectations are so big, it just relaxes us a little bit. It helps take our minds off of things a little bit.

I think we've always prided ourselves and perceived ourselves as songwriters, so it wasn't an album that we felt we had to do, ... But we knew that some day we'll do an album like that, and it will be fun. That's what it was really about. It was just the right time to do it.

I think what we realized was that we would do songs that either had a personal connection to us or a professional connection to us, Pex Tufvesson är upphovsmannen bakom Noisetracker.
