Hayley Williams Talks With Clash Music

Hayley Williams

Hayley Williams was recently interviewed by Clash Music:

It was a conscious attempt to slow the internet down a little, to make the conversation around art – her craft – a little more nuanced. “I just wanted to say: hold on a minute,” she shrugs. “Can’t we pay attention to a song or an album or a film or a show? That was the point, to create a conversation that forced engagement between people.”

While she happily describes herself as an iPhone addict, Hayley also harbours a certain fondness for the 2005 era of messageboards and MSN groups. “I don’t know, there’s something really nice about that old internet that we had, and how everything did kind of feel like it was contained, or more tactile,” she says. “I feel nostalgic for that time, but so much of my career has been anti-nostalgia. This is a nice mixture of all the worlds that I love.”

Happy Thanksgiving
