Album title?: It Is What It Is
Where did the title of your new album come from? It is exactly what it is. It's accurate.
How many releases do you have now? One tape, one 7" and one LP. We finished mixing the second LP this morning.
How long did it take to write/record? We mainly recorded over a few days in the studio, then the other parts were done separately at the players' houses and sent through Dropbox.
Was anything in particular inspiring you during the making? We mixed the whole thing entirely through tape to a big nice desk, which changed my whole approach to recording. We tried to play the desk as an extra instrument like they did with dub.
What's your favourite song on it? Stressin is pretty smooth.
Will you do anything differently next time? I want to do everything differently every time.
When and where is your launch/next gig? The Tote, 25 Oct, with Cool Sounds and Orlando Furious.
