Single title? Dimension

What's the song about? Stepping outside of your comfort zones, whilst not necessarily being too sure how you feel about it. 

How long did it take to write/record? This one we've had in the bank for a little while. Over 12 months at least. Recorded it in a day at Sing Sing studios. Lovely place. that Sing Sing. 

Is this track from a forthcoming release/existing release? Sure is. Been working away the last 12 months towards our debut album. Really excited to show you all what we have been working on. 

What was inspiring you during the song's writing and recording? Bass. Really love the bass and drums in this track. Really simple but effective rhythm work. 

We'll like this song if we like... Smooth Sailing — Queens Of The Stone Age.

Do you play it differently live? A little bit. We really try catch the vibe from the recording though. We like the vibe.

When and where is your launch/next gig? The Foundry, 26 Nov! Yewww!
