Some of the songs might be kind of heavy and trying to deal with something , but I also think it doesn ' t have to be such a big deal as far as the overall picture of the song . I know a lot of people appreciate lyrics that are written a certain way or value their relationship to lyrics in a song , but for me , I like letting things be dumb or not make sense sometimes .
KJ : Cocteau Twins . JA : Cocteau Twins ! All sorts of artists have done that . It ' s definitely something I relate to . It doesn ' t always have to make sense . Like one of our songs , “ What D ’ You Call It ,” makes no fucking sense , but it ' s fucking awesome . It ' s some of my favorite lyrics we ' ve ever made . KJ : Yeah , I don ' t think it ' s a regretful thing . JA : It ' s more of a rediscovery of that . I didn ' t know that many people cared about Mt . Eddy , and it ' s cool they do now . Maybe one day we ' ll make another Mt . Eddy record just for fun , just to cosplay as our high school selves . I think we ' ll still do those one-off shows every once in a while . I would love to do more Mt . Eddy shows just so people who haven ' t had the chance to see it can see it ‘ cause that show was so much fun .

But Ultra Q is what we are now . KJ : And that feels great . JA : I ' m so proud of everything Ultra Q has done .
IE : So , what you should do is do an Ultra Q show where you open as Mt . Eddy . JA : We talked about that ! We talked about doing a show where Jakob Danger opens into Mt .
Eddy , and then Ultra Q closes . KJ : We talked about doing that for our first time going to Europe , which we didn ' t end up doing because no one over there ever got to see Mt . Eddy or Jakob Danger . I think that ' d be really fun . KJ : We just love playing music . Sounds corny , but it ' s true . JA : It is corny ( laughs ).
Ultra Q ’ s debut album , My Guardian Angel , is out now .
