How long did it take to write/record? I wrote the track the day before I flew to London to make the record, wrote in a day and demoed it. It was first song we recorded for the album.
Is this track from a forthcoming release/existing release? The track is on a double single (with Valleys) taken from the forthcoming debut album. It's available on all streaming services as well as iTunes.
What was inspiring you during the song's writing and recording? I was going through a massive period of self-reflection about my actions and behaviour. I wanted to get really honest with myself and express something real.
We'll like this song if we like... Placebo - Meds.
Do you play it differently live? We play the verse melody on a guitar live. On the recording it is a baby grand piano with dark reverb; it has a creepy, dark, circus vibe to it.
When and where is your launch/next gig? We just had our launch in September and our next gig is the WAM Festival Saturday Spectacular.
