Album Focus: Columbia Buffet

Answered by: Daniel Rogan

Album title? How To Survive An Atomic Bomb.

Where did the title of your new album come from? A book that came out after the Second World War, full of some fairly absurd ideas and diagrams. The more you think about it as a title, the many different ways you can interpret it.

How many releases do you have now? This is our second album. Our debut Atlas was released back in 2011. We also have an EP called Sugar.

How long did it take to write/record? The better part of three years to write; one year to record.

Was anything in particular inspiring you during the making? We basically just wanted to create an album that sounded authentically like 'us'; one that we all loved and could continue to be proud of throughout the years to come.

What's your favourite song on it? Columbus, Ohio. For some great reason continues to resonate with us all the most.

Will you do anything differently next time? Of course. We're continually growing as a band and developing new recording techniques. I'm sure this will all play a part in the evolution of our processes.

When and where is your launch/next gig? Friday 4 Mar at Crowbar.
