    Hayley Williams talked with The Face about her new album and the future of Paramore.

    “Do we ever know where we’re at?!” she laughs. “We always take huge breaks. In order for us to metabolise shit that we go through as people, it takes the amount of time it takes between albums.” But Williams can confirm that the band are on a break, rather than broken up.

    “There are no better musicians in the world than Zac and Taylor,” she says. “There are no better performers than [the touring musicians affectionately known as the] Parafour. It’s just magic, man,” says Williams.

    “I feel such a vindication in knowing that nobody can discount Paramore,” she continues. “But it’s also really important for me to strengthen other muscles and these parts of myself that I deflated because I was scared that people were going to notice me too much.”

    the annual report in which paramore assures us that they are still a band, albeit a messy one.

    I love Paramore. I’ve loved them since their debut album. But I don’t love the intensity of Paramore fans. There’s a strong parasocial (no pun intended) element to their following that often feels invasive and obnoxious. It makes me wonder how much of that intensity has only made things more untenable for band members at times than anything.

    Composer, but never composed.

    agreed, but would you say it's an intensity that's specific to paramore? i feel like i see this sort of thing across many fanbases.

    I was thinking about it today. Is it any different from other fanbases? My answer falls somewhere in the maybe I just really don’t like the Paramore subreddit category. In that case, there’s definitely less annoying fanbases out there.
