Karen O and Danger Mouse: Neither of us can play, but we made a record

"You don’t think you can play? Check this out. Let me show you how much I can’t play” - that's how Karen O describes a conversation with Danger Mouse before they started - recording together! “That’s our best kept secret. Neither of us can play at all, but somehow we made this record" - Karen O adds in conversation with NME. Their album Lux Prima is made up of the first songs she wrote after becoming a mother: “Music is my fucking church. I don’t prescribe to any religion or whatever – music is what gets me through the ups and downs of life, both making it and listening to it". It's slightly different with producer Danger Mouse: “I’m less comfortable with anything but making music”.
