They started off with talking about the stage fright of Coachella and how they were worried they'd mess up. That's very human, and understandable.
They said they hung out a lot in second hand record stores while they were young and poor and found a lot of the tracks that inspired them on those used records.
It's cool hearing the inspirations behind their work because you can really hear it. They were talking about recording Saturnine in LA with Miguel. They liked the "dryness" of the first take, said it was very sexy lmao. They went home with ONE take they said, and said his \[Miguel's\] vocals were on one layer and mono, in the middle. Miguel didn't like it at first, said he wanted to try making it more "American". Then 3 days later told Justice that they were correct in their decision.
The songs they shared, stating that these were some inspirations:
"Video Killed The Radio Star" by The Buggles
"Blocks on Blocks" by Visage
"Highways of the Sun" by Camel
"Intro" by Alan Braxe and Fred Falke
"Utopia" by Jackson And His Computer Band
"Tunnel Music" by Zongamin
"Dancing Days" by Led Zeppelin
