Want to know more about the band's acerbic new EP? Well, here you go - the trio let us in on some stories from the studio.
More Is More
We worked on the record alongside producer Jamie Hall (Tigercub). Before working together, we'd always had the idea that "less is more" when it came to recording. However, Jamie has a different philosophy, "More is more", and if you'd seen the number of microphones used on the drum kit, you'd understand that he wasn't joking!
Danny Dyer
The studio toilet featured a signed and framed photograph of Danny Dyer sitting above the cistern. So, every time we needed to head to the bathroom, we would hold communion with the spirit of Danny Dyer, and we like to think the recordings had his blessing.
Gangsta's Paradise
With an eclectic mix of songs on the EP, we wanted to find some motifs and sonic themes to tie them all together and connect them. We liked the idea of a nostalgic feel to the EP, and you'll hear a lot of callbacks to the late 90s/early 00s with inspiration from Gorillaz and The Prodigy. One slightly less obvious call back is to 1995, 'Gangsta's Paradise' by Coolio. We loved the synth/choir BV sound and wanted to tie it in and you'll hear those almost hymnal synths scattered throughout the EP. It really has such a nostalgic feel and reminds us of better days…
