Afterelton.com: But do you see yourself fitting into the realm of queer musicians?
Ed Droste : I think anyone can fit in. I don't think it's an exclusive scene. There are tons of different types of gay musicians that are doing music. Deerhunter is a total shoe-gazer/My Bloody Valentine type of thing. Patrick Wolf is very theatrical. And we're just sort of folky. So, sure — why not? I fit in. I'm not stressed about it.
