You are often lauded for the confessional and candid nature of your sound and lyrics, how would you decide your writing process? Literally dare you not to be inspired one way or the other. I wrote it in Japan after going to that Robot Restaurant (i’m pretty sure that’s the name of it) Bourdain goes to in Parts Unknown, my mind was absolutely fried – it was a two hour performance about Alien Robots invading the Earth only for humans to be saved by Michael Jackson singing Earth Song on the back of a gigantic Panda, I couldn’t recommend it more. There’s definitely a truth there, you get moments where you realise how ridiculous this must all seem from the outside, but the songs are also vessels that protect you from all that nauseating pressure at the same time.

We love your latest single ’25’, could you tell us some more about it? I’m influenced by a lot of things, musically the list is long and I would hope always changing – we have Say Anything’s ‘…Is A Real Boy’ on a lot at the moment – Bemis is a nuts guy, those tracks are completely unhinged at points, they just unravel and unravel – he’s so blunt and so fucking funny and that record’s got such a rich commentary on his secular Judaism, on his mental health, on his role as an artist – all of that feels very pertinent to me at the moment. I’m a very anxious person building worlds to explore or escape or mock those thoughts in a different sort of mode can be a very satisfying process – I’ve always enjoyed the romanticisation other people’s music lends on my life as a means of coping so hope that maybe something we did could operate in the same way for someone else. I’m not too sure – it feels like ever since I’ve been able to I have so it’s a bit like – what the hell else am I gonna do? There’d be too much dead time and I’d have to find something productive to do instead. It’s definitely not a shrewd career choice. That’s a good question, now we’re cooking. The four of us have been together for maybe 18 months now? I’m losing all sense of time at the moment, this could easily be wrong, if you wanted facts you should’ve sent this to Tom. We’ve all been making music in different projects since about the age of 11 or 12 I think – or at least trying to.
