Album Focus: Statues

More Statues StatuesAnswered by: Matthew Templeman

Album title? Together We’re Alone

Where did the title of your new album come from? We all have our own issues, and in that sense we are together. How we deal with that process, and how we all want to be as individuals, is something you have to do alone.

How many releases do you have now? We’ve done four releases since being a band: A Human Work, the Wait for Calm 7’’, Compass and the album.

How long did it take to write/record? The record was written between late 2013 and mid 2014. The recording process began in September of 2014 and was completed by June of last year.

Was anything in particular inspiring you during the making? Capturing the energy of our live show; that and writing something that ultimately felt honest.

What’s your favourite song on it? My favourite track is Foreseeing The Cloud And Not The Rain. I feel it encompasses our sound the best.

Will you do anything differently next time? Next time things will quite different as it’ll be our first time writing with our new guitarist John Overthrow.

When and where is your launch/next gig?

27 Jan, Hombre Records; 28 Jan, Baker St, Gosford; 29 Jan, Cambridge Hotel, Newcastle.
