Max Kakacek, one half of the indie rock duo Whitney, is in the middle of telling me about how his parents recently paid off their 30-year mortgage when his bandmate, Julien Ehrlich, interrupts him. "Oh damn, I didn't know that," Ehrlich says. He sounds as though he thinks he should've. The three of us are at Jajaja, a sleek, festive Mexican restaurant located at the exact corner where the Lower East Side's pricey dive bars give way to Chinatown's never-ending variety of cluttered, discount stores. We're here to discuss Whitney's new album Spark, out now, but we took a detour sometime after the enchiladas arrived and are now talking about Max's childhood home, the one his parents just finished paying off. |
