Album Focus: DATURA4

Answered by: Dom Mariani

Album title? Demon Blues

Where did the title of your new album come from? The title came from the song Demon Blues which was one of the first songs that we jammed on when we first got the band together. 

How many releases do you have now? This is our first proper album release. 

How long did it take to write/record? The album came together over a four-year period. We had no plans for a grand release, we were just happy writing songs, playing them live and record them for our own enjoyment.

Was anything in particular inspiring you during the making? The band has a special thing going on when it plays. The ability to jam, an intuition that takes our songs to other places. The whole is greater than the sum of its parts.

What's your favourite song on it? You Ain't No Friend of Mine. 

Will you do anything differently next time? Hard to say, every recording is different, but I'd hope to keep it fresh and interesting. It's good to take what you've learnt from previous recordings and improve on things.

When and where is your launch/next gig? We have the official album launch on 29 Aug at Mojo's Bar in Fremantle.
