12/3/09 “I Came Up With This Guitar Line In Australia And Victoria Said “I Like That!” So It Grew Over The Course Of 9 Months Into The Song You Hear Now. It Was Named By Victoria Based Entirely On Something She Perceived With The Sound And The Movement Of The Guitar.” ~ Alex WOW 3/4/10 Just Curious But Does ‘Zebra’ Have The Same Chord Progression As ‘No Other One’ By Weezer Off Of Pinkerton? “That’s Funny I Never Put That Together But The First Half Of That Phrase Are The Same Exact Chord Which Is In 3/4. It’s A Waltz We Do It Like A 4/4 Waltz And We Do It Like A Swing A Ballad Or Whatever. I Don’t Think We Ever Thought Of It But Whenever You Hear A Chord Progression In A Song It’s Probably Been Used 45 Times And Often At The Same Exact Tempo And Even With A Similar Arrangement. It’s Just Amazing That There Are Now Something Like 40 Billion Songs And They’re Not All Constantly Sounding Like Each Other.” ~ Alex Cokemachineglow 9/28/10 “I Was Randomly Playing The Opening Guitar Part In Australia When We Were There In 2008 And I Remember Victoria Said “I Liked That Remember That ” Which Always Encourages Me A Lot ‘cause If She Hears Something In Something Then I Know That It Could Be Good And I Started Thinking About It A Lot And Then Another Part Grew Out Of That And I Started Playing It For Victoria And Instantly… She Said “the Way It Sounds It Sounds Like A Zebra Like Running Or Crisscrossing ” And She Started Bringing This Entire Narrative To It And Then The Song Grew From There. So It Was Just A Couple Of Little Guitar Parts And Everything Started Building From Them.” ~ Alex FaceCulture 4/29/19 “Alex Had Written Most Of The Musical Arrangement And When I Heard It This Was Another Brain Looking In On What Somebody Else Had Created And I Immediately Thought I Had Written Some Things But The Zebra Imagery Kept Coming To My Brain. It Was What I Was Seeing The Patterns Crossing. That Comes From Comes From The Music And How The Music Ignited Something In My Mind And My Visual Imagination.” ~ Victoria KEXP

(12/3/09): “I came up with this guitar line in Australia, and Victoria said “I like that!” So it grew, over the course of 9 months, into the song you hear now. It was named by Victoria based entirely on something she perceived with the sound and the movement of the guitar.” ~ Alex, WOW
(3/4/10): Just curious, but does ‘Zebra’ have the same chord progression as ‘No Other One’ by Weezer, off of Pinkerton? “That’s funny, I never put that together, but the first half of that phrase are the same exact chord, which is in 3/4. It’s a waltz; we do it like a 4/4 waltz and we do it like a swing, a ballad, or whatever. I don’t think we ever thought of it, but whenever you hear a chord progression in a song it’s probably been used 45 times and often at the same exact tempo and even with a similar arrangement. It’s just amazing that there are now something like 40 billion songs and they’re not all constantly sounding like each other.” ~ Alex, cokemachineglow
(9/28/10): “I was randomly playing the opening guitar part in Australia when we were there in 2008, and I remember Victoria said, “I liked that, remember that,” which always encourages me a lot, ‘cause if she hears something in something then I know that it could be good; and I started thinking about it a lot, and then another part grew out of that, and I started playing it for Victoria, and instantly… she said “the way it sounds, it sounds like a Zebra, like running or crisscrossing,” and she started bringing this entire narrative to it, and then the song grew from there. So it was just a couple of little guitar parts, and everything started building from them.” ~ Alex, FaceCulture
(4/29/19): “Alex had written most of the musical arrangement and when I heard it, this was another brain looking in on what somebody else had created, and I immediately thought, I had written some things but the zebra imagery kept coming to my brain. It was what I was seeing, the patterns crossing. That comes from comes from the music and how the music ignited something in my mind and my visual imagination.” ~ Victoria, KEXP Read more on Last.fm.
