Single title? Feel Alright

What’s the song about? Temptation. How long can you keep making yourself feel alright the way you are? Unable to be yourself without substances. 

How long did it take to write/record? We originally wrote the song as an indie-rock tune in 2013. We played it live like that until we hit the studio. It was Louis’ idea to start to give it a bit more groove.

Is this track from a forthcoming release/existing release? We’ve got heaps of new material. Some of it’s in the final mix and some of it we’re recording. We’re collaborating, writing, recording... 

What was inspiring you during the song’s writing and recording? Our producer, Jean-Paul Fung, built a Spotify playlist of our references throughout the recording process: Unknown Mortal Orchestra, The Roots, The Preatures, Charles Bradley, Tame Impala, The Strokes... and some embarrassing pop too.

We’ll like this song if we like... Knocking stuff off tables, grooving on tables, jumping off tables to knock things off other tables. 

Do you play it differently live? It’s more spontaneous, our band members change around every show, strings break, people jump on stage, get naked...
