"That was the whole thing: to make an organic and real sound, like a band playing live.”

"I’d be pretty disappointed if I got seven tracks on an album, but it’s a lot bigger than what you’d expect an EP to be… So we went with mini-album…”

“I feel like it’s competitive in Nashville. I don’t feel like Los Angeles is like that. I mean it is, but I don’t think with music. LA’s more based around the film industry so I kind of feel like I’m on the outskirts of that and I can just look in and observe and do my thing."

"The eldest in the band is 24, so we might as well just smash it now while we’re young,” he smiles. “I don’t think we ever sat down and thought to ourselves that it wasn’t going to happen, you know?"

“The biggest problem I faced as a writer when Hunters & Collectors ended was just a crisis of credibility I think.”

“Realistically, I don’t think it’s possible that we would do another record like that again. It’s also really natural for bands to evolve as well, and keep finding their sound.”

“It’s come up a lot, but I’ve been quite militant about not resorting to the computer. I hope that’s not dogmatic, but I do feel that there is just something about watching a live band, when there is something recorded, that I just find takes away from what you’re seeing.

Even the video clip, it was made for the Internet, it wasn’t made for TV,”

It’s all there – death, sex, aliens, a 40-foot rooster, the Apocalypse – what more could you want from a combo like Flap! that draws its inspiration from influences as disparate as the jazz of the 1920s and the calypso of Trinidad, with healthy doses of English folk, gypsy brass and indie pop thrown in?
