On an interview with Grammy<ref>"San Holo Gets Personal With New Indie Rock EDM Album 'BB U Ok?'" https://www.grammy.com/news/san-holo-personal-new-album-bb-u-ok-interview</ref>, San Holo stated that Cuomo wrote to him on Twitter to praise one of his songs and that's how they ended up working together. | |||
<blockquote>"He randomly hit me up on Twitter one day. He was like, “Hey I just heard one of your songs, and I love it.” I was like, “Is this really happening? Rivers Cuomo?!” I was double-checking if it was really his account. He asked me to send him some stuff—the amount of times artists have told me to send them stuff, and then I send them something and nothing happens. | |||
But I made a track in the studio anyway, sent it to him, and I think, literally a week later, he sent back his vocals, and I was like, "Whoa, this is so good!" And then we went back and forth about some words and some more nuanced stuff. And then he recorded the vocals and I had a great take. For me, it's really funny because I used to be a guitar teacher after I graduated from the conservatory. I used to teach kids "[[Say It Ain’t So]]." Now to work with him—it’s so surreal, it's full circle.</blockquote> | |||
