“It was important to us that this album remain, above all else, a creative pursuit. We weren’t thinking about touring or nostalgia — our focus was entirely on creating new work.” — Debbie Harry
“I was just surprised to realize that No Exit marked the (thus far) halfway point of the Blondie 50+ year arc. Cool record.” — Chris Stein
“We began the reunion very bare bones. I think it was Debbie’s idea to go down to this extremely minimalist studio on Ludlow Street with just the four of us. No bass. Chris with a guitar, Debbie with a feedbacking microphone, Clem on an old kit and I had a cheap electric piano. It just clicked. It still sounded like the four of us”. — Jimmy Destri |
