Why did Kimbra leave the farm

“I’d been caught up with all the Grammy and Gotye stuff happening,

 and the touring, the constant affirmation — or praise, or criticism,

 or self-reflection — everywhere,” she says. “You get wrapped up in it.

 Then here I was chilling with a bunch of sheep.

 And they don’t give a crap who you are. You’re not special to them.

 You spend time with them and there’s this beautiful kind of harmony

 of how everything works in that environment.

 It was a really great place to create.”
