Spoiler. We bloody love
Declan McKenna. You may have noticed, what with him being on the cover of our new issue that came out yesterday. That doesn't mean we've had enough Dec action, though. Today, he plays Latitude - so we caught up with him in the Henham Park forest early this morning to catch up, as his debut album '
What Do You Think About The Car?' approaches ever nearer.
How are things? How is being at Latitude?
It’s good! It feels really good. It’s the first festival season I feel like we’ve kind of been… well, it’s certainly been busy, but also like, seeing so many people. Festivals are interesting because at a big one like this, or like Glastonbury which we’ve done recently, you draw a bigger crowd than you will at most shows that you do. It’s awesome. Everything’s going well, can’t complain.
It’s less than a week now until the album, how does it feel being so close?
It’s mad. Although it’s been a really long time, it feels like it’s come super quickly. One minute it was three-months to the album release, then it was a week. What is that?! That is a weird little bug.
That’s the one thing you find at Latitude, wildlife.
Weird bugs, and strange activities for middle-class children. There’s quite a few going on in the woods; I don’t really know what’s happening. It’s an interesting festival; it’s not like any other festival in the UK really. It’s just so… calm.
