Album title? Future Reset
Where did the title of your new album come from? A loose theme throughout the record concerning the malleability of the future & the seed of transformation.
How many releases do you have now? Future Reset (2016); Audio-Illogical Backyard Dog (2015); Ballet In The Badlands (2013) with previous band The Chemist.
How long did it take to write/record? It was constructed in the cracks of time between work, travel and other life happenings over a 12 month period, I'm guessin'.
Was anything in particular inspiring you during the making? Music from the Western Sahara (Group Doueh), Mali (Ali Fakre Toure), Nigeria (Fela Kuti), USA (John Lurie and the Lounge Lizards, Beck, Captain Beefheart) Japan (Cornellius, Otomo Yoshihide). Citizens of the world. The Galaxy.
What's your favourite song on it? Dead Fish.
Will you do anything differently next time? To blow off steam post-session, I'd get tanked on UDLs and take my truck for a burn down the street blaring Sweet Home Alabama. Lotta' dead dogs. Never again.
When and where is your launch/next gig? Jimmy's Den, 17 Jun, Mei Saraswati and Dianas
