“We’re gonna try and get a new album sorted out hopefully by spring next year… I thought we could have a period after Christmas just working on music and I dare say we’ll be back on the road, say [UK] summertime.”

"We played a lot of different cities, from Shanghai to Beijing, all the way inland to Xian and everywhere in between that."

"I think that, in this record, I was trying to bring more of my life into it and pluck out these moments and explore them through song. I think I’m stuck in permanently being nostalgic. I don’t know what for, but I think that’s my life, this position."

"I think this is a bit more of a grownup album,” Auldist admits. “When I did my first album, it was an introduction, so I basically told a lot of stories about myself, and the second one was, ‘Well, what do you do now?’"

"It’s an album of sheet music, which is designed so that you have to play the music yourself... It’s an experiment really, on what the conception of an album or the process of putting out music can be."

"We kind of try and have fun with it, and just make as much different types of music as we could.”

"All I know is no one will ever hear the album as it was done and recorded. I’ve actually had heaps of phone calls from friends going, ‘Dude, you have to make me a copy’."
