Jenny Lewis on the Reunion

Reflecting on the reunion, Lewis shared in a statement:

“It’s going to be wonderful for us, like going back to the purest version of yourself—that early twenties place where everything is possible. You’re in a van and Jason’s got the map, Pierre is behind the wheel, and I’m on the shitty acoustic guitar on the bench seat working out a new song with Blake. I don’t think it’s ever been as good as that, when it was just us against the world.”
