![]() ![]() “All the electronic side comes from our newest member, Dan. I wouldn’t want it to be specific.”Īre there any other new ways you’ve gone about producing this latest album then? So it’s trying to get that down so it’s self-reflective but it’s also something that someone else can latch on to and understand a bit. Usually I'm angry at something, or about something, or I'm angry at myself. So, not really poetry in that sense, but this is the first time I've really tried to challenge myself to do it in that way. “I can write about my own personal experiences, things in the world, whatever it might be that you experience essentially. I’d have been devastated if it got canned!”Īvailable for iOS and Android Get the appĭo you use creative writing to write stories or poetry of your own, or is it more about lyrics? I’m just so happy the guys vibed with it and we actually put it out as a single. It took me so so long and I’m really happy with how it ended up. It had to be poignant, it had to be dark, it had to be beautiful. “I like creative writing and the whole process so I challenged myself to write a song within three of four lines, so ‘Decay’ is like a haiku. So, how did you go about whittling the lyrics down? I was like ‘I wonder if I can actually do it?’” “This was the idea for this album and the process of kind of whittling it down.

Is that experience a big part of your new album This Place Only Brings Death ? The majority of the band worked in music as well and when the industry kind of collapsed everybody lost a lot.” We didn't really have a ‘productive pandemic’, if that’s the right word? Everybody was in a pretty bad place nobody really had any energy to be creative or anything like that. “It was sort of off the back of the pandemic. Your four-year ‘break’ was that off the back of the Pandemic? Kaan: “It's nice to be back doing things - its been four years and obviously a lot has happened in that time…It's been a tough old thing to get back to but now we’re here it’s great.”
