Michael Smith, Journalist

"I’ve just been collaborating with lots of different people till we find the right personality matches and the right musical chemistry."

"I think the fact that we were Australian was a lot of the appeal."

"It came out of a sense of wanting to do things that I didn’t hear other people doing."

"I think with this album we’ve achieved the sound we’ve always wanted to achieve, and that’s not so polished. Like, our previous stuff has been quite polished, and I guess perfect."

“I had to wait for some these stories to play out before I wrote these songs."

"I just felt it was a bit overproduced and didn’t reflect what I really do live on stage. I had a couple of tracks that were sitting in the back of my head for a long time and couldn’t use those on that album."

"To have Kasey come in to put her heart and soul and herself on the line to co-produce my very first record was something I thought I could only ever dream."

"I’ve been trying to get something like this going for seven years with SAE. When I first got there I said, ‘You need more live sound!’"

"It’s getting harder each year to make it bigger, brighter and better."

"Not everything was finished when we went in to record, but we had a direction and it was more a case of filling in the gaps when we got there, I think."

"We never imagined we would appear in things like The Simpsons or Arrested Development."
