1 00:00:15,476 --> 00:00:15,956 Speaker 1: Pushkin. 2 00:00:20,236 --> 00:00:23,276 Speaker 2: The British band Idols has released five albums in only 3 00:00:23,396 --> 00:00:27,756 Speaker 2: seven years, starting with their critically acclaimed debut album Brutalism 4 00:00:27,836 --> 00:00:31,836 Speaker 2: in twenty seventeen. The band's been growing steadily ever since, 5 00:00:31,956 --> 00:00:35,676 Speaker 2: with their bombastic sound that brilliantly balances joy, chaos and 6 00:00:35,716 --> 00:00:39,276 Speaker 2: an often critical take on the powers that be. The 7 00:00:39,276 --> 00:00:42,396 Speaker 2: five piece band's lead singer, Joe Talbot, has always channeled 8 00:00:42,436 --> 00:00:45,556 Speaker 2: his personal pain as well as his dissatisfaction with Britain's 9 00:00:45,596 --> 00:00:50,356 Speaker 2: ruling class, into his songwriting. Mark Bowen, idols guitarist and producer, 10 00:00:50,596 --> 00:00:53,876 Speaker 2: serves as Joe's primary musical partner in the band. They 11 00:00:53,916 --> 00:00:55,956 Speaker 2: both bring a love of hip hop and old school 12 00:00:56,036 --> 00:00:59,396 Speaker 2: soul and arm beat the mix, along with UK techno 13 00:00:59,476 --> 00:01:02,876 Speaker 2: and house music. All of these influences can be heard 14 00:01:02,956 --> 00:01:06,516 Speaker 2: on their latest album, Tank, a project produced by Mark Bowen, 15 00:01:06,876 --> 00:01:12,556 Speaker 2: our friend Kenny Beats, and radiohead Nigel Godrich. On today's episode, 16 00:01:12,596 --> 00:01:14,716 Speaker 2: I talked to Joe Talbot and Mark Bowen from the 17 00:01:14,716 --> 00:01:17,236 Speaker 2: green room of The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon about 18 00:01:17,236 --> 00:01:21,476 Speaker 2: their tumultuous creative partnership. They also explain how Mark helps 19 00:01:21,476 --> 00:01:25,196 Speaker 2: temper Joe's sometimes passionate rage, and Joe breaks down why 20 00:01:25,236 --> 00:01:32,996 Speaker 2: he'll forever despise England's monarchy. This is broken record liner 21 00:01:33,076 --> 00:01:34,356 Speaker 2: notes for the digital Age. 22 00:01:34,516 --> 00:01:35,436 Speaker 3: I'm justin Mitchman. 23 00:01:36,196 --> 00:01:40,916 Speaker 2: Here's my conversation with Joe Talbot and Mark Bowen of Idols. 24 00:01:41,516 --> 00:01:42,516 Speaker 3: Thank you for doing. 25 00:01:42,316 --> 00:01:43,996 Speaker 1: This, Thank youth for having us. 26 00:01:44,356 --> 00:01:45,076 Speaker 3: No man, I mean, you. 27 00:01:45,076 --> 00:01:48,276 Speaker 2: Guys are backstage at Jimmy Fallon right now.

But we knew the value of that, 40 00:02:22,196 --> 00:02:26,156 Speaker 4: we knew the experience, and we knew how special the 41 00:02:26,356 --> 00:02:30,876 Speaker 4: learning curve was. So when we're here and we're given opportunities, 42 00:02:30,916 --> 00:02:34,636 Speaker 4: we take them because that's fucking gift.

You know, there's no surprises. We know 56 00:03:17,196 --> 00:03:19,996 Speaker 4: what's happening, and we know what we've made, and we 57 00:03:20,116 --> 00:03:22,436 Speaker 4: know what our audience is building. They've helped us from 58 00:03:22,476 --> 00:03:26,076 Speaker 4: the start, so we've been carrying each other from twenty 59 00:03:26,316 --> 00:03:30,036 Speaker 4: eleven and like, there's no surprises. You get what you 60 00:03:30,116 --> 00:03:30,476 Speaker 4: work for. 61 00:03:31,356 --> 00:03:33,836 Speaker 2: I love how self assured that answer is. You know 62 00:03:33,876 --> 00:03:35,156 Speaker 2: what I mean that you guys kind of know what 63 00:03:35,196 --> 00:03:37,276 Speaker 2: you put out there, and it really listening to the 64 00:03:37,316 --> 00:03:39,716 Speaker 2: new record. You know, as the records have come out, 65 00:03:39,956 --> 00:03:41,956 Speaker 2: it seems like you guys are pretty self contained. Like 66 00:03:41,996 --> 00:03:44,356 Speaker 2: from the jump, you guys knew what you wanted to say, 67 00:03:44,356 --> 00:03:46,516 Speaker 2: which you wanted to do, how you wanted to present it, 68 00:03:46,756 --> 00:03:49,476 Speaker 2: even though I've seen the changes, Like every album sounds 69 00:03:49,516 --> 00:03:53,236 Speaker 2: and feels very different. Every album is a really strong statement. 70 00:03:53,796 --> 00:03:56,996 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean that's. 71 00:03:55,916 --> 00:04:00,036 Speaker 5: Definitely our biggest kind of moo as creators is the 72 00:04:00,956 --> 00:04:05,636 Speaker 5: we're very much driven by our intent and our intentions 73 00:04:05,796 --> 00:04:08,676 Speaker 5: you know, in the music, and then they kind of 74 00:04:08,756 --> 00:04:11,316 Speaker 5: create with Joe's design and stuff like that. It's all 75 00:04:11,396 --> 00:04:14,356 Speaker 5: very much there from the outset. It's not you know, 76 00:04:15,116 --> 00:04:18,436 Speaker 5: about jamming and you know, exploring things in that way. 77 00:04:18,516 --> 00:04:21,556 Speaker 5: It's about how do we represent what we're intending here. 78 00:04:21,996 --> 00:04:26,156 Speaker 5: It's not you know, stumbling upon something. So yeah, it's 79 00:04:26,196 --> 00:04:27,876 Speaker 5: a it's a big thing in this bland. 80 00:04:28,476 --> 00:04:28,676 Speaker 1: You know. 81 00:04:28,756 --> 00:04:32,156 Speaker 5: The title always comes first, the artwork of follow soon after, 82 00:04:32,676 --> 00:04:35,636 Speaker 5: and then it's like conversations around that, and it's about 83 00:04:35,796 --> 00:04:39,996 Speaker 5: kind of like Choo expressing what he meant when he 84 00:04:40,036 --> 00:04:43,596 Speaker 5: gave that title, and then we talk all about that 85 00:04:43,676 --> 00:04:46,436 Speaker 5: and talk kind of about maybe sometimes like what the 86 00:04:46,436 --> 00:04:48,236 Speaker 5: song is going to be about or what the kind 87 00:04:48,236 --> 00:04:49,476 Speaker 5: of music's going to be about. 88 00:04:50,116 --> 00:04:51,996 Speaker 3: But you don't really have lyrics or music at that. 89 00:04:52,716 --> 00:04:54,556 Speaker 5: We don't have distract. We don't have anything, it's all. 90 00:04:54,596 --> 00:04:56,516 Speaker 5: It's all dealing in abstraction. And I think that I 91 00:04:56,516 --> 00:04:57,436 Speaker 5: think that dealing in. 92 00:04:57,396 --> 00:05:00,876 Speaker 6: The abstract is why we write the music first always 93 00:05:01,356 --> 00:05:04,996 Speaker 6: because it's it's easy to translate the abstract into something abstract, 94 00:05:05,516 --> 00:05:08,636 Speaker 6: and then it's about too translating that into into word. 95 00:05:08,836 --> 00:05:11,596 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, the whole purpose of every album is, 96 00:05:12,356 --> 00:05:16,076 Speaker 4: you know, life is abstract. There's there's no there's no 97 00:05:16,236 --> 00:05:18,916 Speaker 4: actual rules. The whole point in philosophy, if you look 98 00:05:18,916 --> 00:05:24,276 Speaker 4: at Plato's Republic, that's just creating structures that are imagined 99 00:05:24,316 --> 00:05:28,676 Speaker 4: in order to understand the socio political like narrative that 100 00:05:28,756 --> 00:05:31,676 Speaker 4: goes on and how people are dying to find purpose 101 00:05:31,716 --> 00:05:35,796 Speaker 4: and meaning to move forward. And that's what art is. 102 00:05:35,916 --> 00:05:39,236 Speaker 4: Art is the breach of existence. It allows you a 103 00:05:39,316 --> 00:05:43,236 Speaker 4: sense of purpose and where you're at right there, and 104 00:05:43,316 --> 00:05:48,796 Speaker 4: the more you understand your momentary purpose, the more you 105 00:05:48,836 --> 00:05:52,516 Speaker 4: can move forward with vigor and understanding and more purpose. 106 00:05:53,076 --> 00:05:56,916 Speaker 4: So every album is about the human condition and either 107 00:05:57,796 --> 00:06:03,716 Speaker 4: how I'm affected by socioeconomic situations or relationships or whatever 108 00:06:03,796 --> 00:06:06,756 Speaker 4: it is. I put that in, I document it, but 109 00:06:06,796 --> 00:06:09,516 Speaker 4: that always comes from the present thing that's most of mind. 110 00:06:09,596 --> 00:06:11,236 Speaker 4: I already know what the next album is going to 111 00:06:11,276 --> 00:06:14,076 Speaker 4: be about and what it's called and with each one, 112 00:06:14,476 --> 00:06:18,756 Speaker 4: and Bowen then takes my very small thing because I 113 00:06:18,756 --> 00:06:22,596 Speaker 4: don't want to like overwhelm him his ship with my ego, 114 00:06:23,036 --> 00:06:25,836 Speaker 4: because it's not just about my ego. It's about it's 115 00:06:25,836 --> 00:06:28,996 Speaker 4: about some sort of landscape that we can make brilliant music. 116 00:06:29,996 --> 00:06:31,796 Speaker 1: So I just go, well, this is the kind of 117 00:06:31,836 --> 00:06:33,316 Speaker 1: thing I'm going to be talking about. 118 00:06:33,716 --> 00:06:36,156 Speaker 4: But I don't have any lyrics and I won't force anything, 119 00:06:36,636 --> 00:06:39,716 Speaker 4: but this is what I'm interested in thematically, and then 120 00:06:39,756 --> 00:06:42,796 Speaker 4: he goes okay, and then he puts color to that, 121 00:06:42,916 --> 00:06:46,276 Speaker 4: and he puts you know, some terror firma down. 122 00:06:46,396 --> 00:06:47,556 Speaker 3: Some strong terror firm. 123 00:06:47,876 --> 00:06:50,596 Speaker 4: Yeah, I believe, and then like and once it's all done, 124 00:06:50,636 --> 00:06:53,356 Speaker 4: then then I sing on top. But it has to 125 00:06:53,396 --> 00:06:54,396 Speaker 4: be done. 126 00:06:54,836 --> 00:06:57,196 Speaker 2: Does the color that Mark comes up with in the 127 00:06:57,196 --> 00:06:59,876 Speaker 2: rest of the band, does that help you sort of 128 00:07:00,116 --> 00:07:01,916 Speaker 2: hone you in on what you want to talk about? 129 00:07:02,116 --> 00:07:03,916 Speaker 4: Well, it's Bowing and I that writes some music. So 130 00:07:03,996 --> 00:07:07,396 Speaker 4: it's kind of like just pushing, pulling together. Because he's 131 00:07:07,476 --> 00:07:12,556 Speaker 4: a very philosophically and just emotional practice, very different to me. 132 00:07:13,236 --> 00:07:16,876 Speaker 4: So between us we have this like really beautiful pushing 133 00:07:16,956 --> 00:07:21,436 Speaker 4: pool creatively. That allows me a new perspective, like, you know, 134 00:07:21,796 --> 00:07:24,356 Speaker 4: just saying I just wanted to smash the room up 135 00:07:24,596 --> 00:07:26,756 Speaker 4: and I had to talk to Buying. I'd be like, 136 00:07:27,236 --> 00:07:29,756 Speaker 4: what do I punch? And he's like, well, how about. 137 00:07:29,516 --> 00:07:29,916 Speaker 1: You do this? 138 00:07:29,956 --> 00:07:32,516 Speaker 4: And I'm like, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, of course. You 139 00:07:32,596 --> 00:07:35,196 Speaker 4: know he's my guy and like this because he's the 140 00:07:35,196 --> 00:07:39,996 Speaker 4: opposite to me. So we understand that to create parameters 141 00:07:39,996 --> 00:07:44,316 Speaker 4: within an album, it has to be outur boundaries. Create 142 00:07:44,356 --> 00:07:47,436 Speaker 4: the boundaries, work within them, and you'll flourish. 143 00:07:48,156 --> 00:07:50,796 Speaker 1: I mean, it's like it's also a strict if. 144 00:07:50,836 --> 00:07:53,756 Speaker 4: I'm like, uh no, that's not joy as an act 145 00:07:53,756 --> 00:07:56,476 Speaker 4: of resistance enough, no, no, no, no, no, it's not like that. 146 00:07:57,036 --> 00:07:59,236 Speaker 1: So this is where I'm at, and that's a conversation. 147 00:07:59,676 --> 00:08:03,116 Speaker 4: And I think that's why our music very much sounds 148 00:08:03,196 --> 00:08:08,596 Speaker 4: like an insular entity is because we allow each other 149 00:08:08,636 --> 00:08:10,836 Speaker 4: to breathe, all five of us, obviously the boys right 150 00:08:10,876 --> 00:08:12,236 Speaker 4: shit as well. It's not just me and him, but 151 00:08:12,236 --> 00:08:15,356 Speaker 4: it's mostly us. We allow all five of us to 152 00:08:15,436 --> 00:08:18,956 Speaker 4: breathe within a parameter, but we have to have those parameters. 153 00:08:19,436 --> 00:08:21,876 Speaker 4: That's the best way of creating something. I think creative 154 00:08:21,916 --> 00:08:25,676 Speaker 4: thinking comes from problem solving and like it's good to 155 00:08:25,716 --> 00:08:28,156 Speaker 4: have that, Like do whatever you want, but you can 156 00:08:28,196 --> 00:08:31,236 Speaker 4: only use the color blue, and you're like, oh that's sick. Okay, 157 00:08:31,476 --> 00:08:35,356 Speaker 4: where so do whatever you want. You're like, uh, okay. 158 00:08:35,076 --> 00:08:36,196 Speaker 3: It's a little intimidating. 159 00:08:36,356 --> 00:08:39,396 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, h it's just a little flat, Like what's 160 00:08:39,436 --> 00:08:42,916 Speaker 4: the challenge in there? You like doing anything? That's how 161 00:08:42,996 --> 00:08:45,996 Speaker 4: life works. Life doesn't go yeah, go ahead. We know 162 00:08:46,036 --> 00:08:48,676 Speaker 4: how privilege we are, and we use to have privilege 163 00:08:49,276 --> 00:08:51,276 Speaker 4: that there are people like the most brilliant and the 164 00:08:51,316 --> 00:08:56,516 Speaker 4: most beautiful art comes from those voices that have a 165 00:08:56,556 --> 00:09:01,156 Speaker 4: sense of tumultuous fire. They have to fight against something, 166 00:09:01,316 --> 00:09:08,036 Speaker 4: whether it's oppression, depression, love, fucking civil wars, genocide, whatever 167 00:09:08,076 --> 00:09:11,396 Speaker 4: it is. There's things under the like that's when the 168 00:09:11,476 --> 00:09:15,196 Speaker 4: voices are most resent. I just think, Yeah, you set 169 00:09:15,196 --> 00:09:19,516 Speaker 4: yourself the boundaries, and you set yourself the parameters to flourish. Obviously, 170 00:09:19,796 --> 00:09:23,676 Speaker 4: like two different degrees. I'm not comparing myself to fucking 171 00:09:23,756 --> 00:09:26,516 Speaker 4: Billie Holidays, you know what I mean. But I've been 172 00:09:26,516 --> 00:09:30,636 Speaker 4: through some horrible shit and I'm allowing my traumas in 173 00:09:30,636 --> 00:09:33,036 Speaker 4: in order to make a more brilliant picture. 174 00:09:33,756 --> 00:09:36,436 Speaker 3: Mark, what's your sense of your guys's relationship? Is it similar? 175 00:09:36,756 --> 00:09:40,596 Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean it's it's tumultuous, but that's good. That's 176 00:09:40,636 --> 00:09:44,196 Speaker 5: that's where we get, you know, out of the rumble. 177 00:09:44,596 --> 00:09:47,476 Speaker 5: You know, we start to move the earth around us, 178 00:09:47,516 --> 00:09:50,676 Speaker 5: the water starts to flow, and I think that's it. 179 00:09:50,676 --> 00:09:54,796 Speaker 5: It's like we're just so different creatively as well, and 180 00:09:55,476 --> 00:09:57,156 Speaker 5: it's useful. 181 00:09:57,556 --> 00:10:00,036 Speaker 1: And part as well. 182 00:10:00,516 --> 00:10:03,756 Speaker 5: You know, you like, for two people that are so 183 00:10:04,076 --> 00:10:08,316 Speaker 5: as individuals, so strong in their feelings about their creativity 184 00:10:08,476 --> 00:10:11,396 Speaker 5: and about their about but it would it would almost 185 00:10:11,556 --> 00:10:14,876 Speaker 5: suit us better to be auteurs and to be on 186 00:10:14,916 --> 00:10:17,276 Speaker 5: our own, you know, just having people that are like 187 00:10:17,516 --> 00:10:20,916 Speaker 5: yes around us, they all that happened, but it wouldn't. 188 00:10:20,716 --> 00:10:22,956 Speaker 1: Have the same impact. It wouldn't work. 189 00:10:22,996 --> 00:10:26,596 Speaker 5: It would be too self self serving and self immilating 190 00:10:26,676 --> 00:10:31,036 Speaker 5: as well, because it's like, you know, Joe's approach needs 191 00:10:31,076 --> 00:10:34,956 Speaker 5: my touch and my and my approach needs Joe's touch 192 00:10:35,596 --> 00:10:39,476 Speaker 5: to become full, become complete, to become become resonant in 193 00:10:39,476 --> 00:10:43,556 Speaker 5: that intention as well. I think that you know, you 194 00:10:43,676 --> 00:10:47,276 Speaker 5: can have two down the line or to abstract to 195 00:10:48,036 --> 00:10:52,276 Speaker 5: like you know, flourishy or or kind of a coming 196 00:10:52,316 --> 00:10:55,476 Speaker 5: from a very different perspective. So I think I think 197 00:10:55,516 --> 00:10:58,956 Speaker 5: it requires that for idols to be a thing. 198 00:10:59,196 --> 00:11:00,596 Speaker 3: But probably more generally too. 199 00:11:00,596 --> 00:11:03,436 Speaker 2: I mean, I think that's the in you know, the 200 00:11:03,516 --> 00:11:08,196 Speaker 2: year twenty twenty four, it's like partnerships groups bands are 201 00:11:08,476 --> 00:11:11,636 Speaker 2: rarer and rarer, but you kind of you look back 202 00:11:11,676 --> 00:11:14,156 Speaker 2: over all of the best music came from on some 203 00:11:14,276 --> 00:11:17,236 Speaker 2: level of partnership, you know, off the walls of solo record, 204 00:11:17,236 --> 00:11:19,916 Speaker 2: but that's a partnership with him in Quincy, and yeah, 205 00:11:19,956 --> 00:11:22,956 Speaker 2: there's always got to be something to sort of rein 206 00:11:23,036 --> 00:11:25,876 Speaker 2: you in or something to play off of, you know. 207 00:11:25,916 --> 00:11:27,036 Speaker 1: I think it's the playoff of. 208 00:11:27,076 --> 00:11:29,916 Speaker 5: But I think it's also because like when you're creating art, 209 00:11:30,236 --> 00:11:34,236 Speaker 5: you're creating something from your perspective to be observed from 210 00:11:34,476 --> 00:11:37,916 Speaker 5: from a different perspective. So I guess it's useful at 211 00:11:37,956 --> 00:11:41,276 Speaker 5: that at that point of creation for the art to 212 00:11:41,316 --> 00:11:43,916 Speaker 5: them be informed by something from a different perspective, because 213 00:11:43,956 --> 00:11:47,156 Speaker 5: it allies the best of a singularity. Because there is 214 00:11:47,196 --> 00:11:49,516 Speaker 5: no singularity, there's no there's no truth. 215 00:11:49,956 --> 00:11:51,716 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm all for like that. 216 00:11:51,796 --> 00:11:54,796 Speaker 4: There are there are things that are created like Nick 217 00:11:54,916 --> 00:11:58,076 Speaker 4: Drake pink Man, that's just him on his I entirely. 218 00:11:58,516 --> 00:12:00,916 Speaker 4: I mean maybe there's an engineer and a producer that, 219 00:12:01,996 --> 00:12:04,356 Speaker 4: but I think you can get magic from anywhere. Some 220 00:12:04,396 --> 00:12:08,476 Speaker 4: people are completely introverted. I think Baron and Aya, I'm 221 00:12:08,516 --> 00:12:12,756 Speaker 4: definitely half half introvert extrovert, like I need time on 222 00:12:12,796 --> 00:12:16,756 Speaker 4: my own to process, but we process very different. I 223 00:12:16,796 --> 00:12:20,996 Speaker 4: think we just learned democratically, and you know, people forget 224 00:12:21,236 --> 00:12:24,596 Speaker 4: democracies and the leaders. So like, you know, we're just 225 00:12:24,676 --> 00:12:26,916 Speaker 4: we's taking it's a few albums, but now we're at 226 00:12:26,956 --> 00:12:27,436 Speaker 4: a point. 227 00:12:27,236 --> 00:12:29,276 Speaker 1: Where it's like, this is your two man, I'm just 228 00:12:29,316 --> 00:12:31,636 Speaker 1: going to sing you crack on. I'm like, I'm fucking ready. 229 00:12:31,676 --> 00:12:33,836 Speaker 1: This is beautiful, and that that's. 230 00:12:33,436 --> 00:12:35,596 Speaker 5: A real thing as well that we've kind of learned 231 00:12:35,596 --> 00:12:38,196 Speaker 5: as we've gone along as the idea of service. You know, 232 00:12:38,276 --> 00:12:40,796 Speaker 5: we've learned more about kind of serving the song as 233 00:12:40,836 --> 00:12:43,356 Speaker 5: we write, but also service to each other. You know, 234 00:12:43,396 --> 00:12:47,036 Speaker 5: there's there's times where, especially when you're dealing with Joe's 235 00:12:47,076 --> 00:12:50,836 Speaker 5: lyrics and his vocal approach, you know, sometimes it's not 236 00:12:50,876 --> 00:12:54,516 Speaker 5: what I've been expecting or would have wanted, but you 237 00:12:54,596 --> 00:12:56,916 Speaker 5: can see that there's something that you needed to get out, 238 00:12:57,156 --> 00:13:02,156 Speaker 5: and it's like, actually, yeah, you're right, this doesn't need 239 00:13:02,196 --> 00:13:03,156 Speaker 5: my two cents right now. 240 00:13:03,316 --> 00:13:06,676 Speaker 4: And that happened with me with Gospel. It ended up 241 00:13:06,716 --> 00:13:09,796 Speaker 4: getting cut and nothing to do with me piano. There 242 00:13:09,876 --> 00:13:12,916 Speaker 4: was parts it was just short. I was unsure about 243 00:13:12,956 --> 00:13:14,756 Speaker 4: the landscape because it's very you. 244 00:13:15,116 --> 00:13:15,476 Speaker 1: It was you. 245 00:13:15,836 --> 00:13:19,716 Speaker 2: Yeah, there was a different version of a Gospel the 246 00:13:19,756 --> 00:13:20,676 Speaker 2: song on the new record. 247 00:13:21,276 --> 00:13:23,516 Speaker 1: Well, I mean it's all there. It's all there. 248 00:13:23,516 --> 00:13:26,276 Speaker 4: It's just like restructured a bit, as if there was 249 00:13:26,276 --> 00:13:27,116 Speaker 4: something taken out. 250 00:13:27,196 --> 00:13:29,996 Speaker 1: So it just happens once, but like that's it. It's 251 00:13:29,996 --> 00:13:30,796 Speaker 1: not crazy. 252 00:13:31,036 --> 00:13:34,156 Speaker 4: But I was just like, I felt how important it 253 00:13:34,196 --> 00:13:36,596 Speaker 4: was to bow and how amazing it was. So I 254 00:13:36,636 --> 00:13:39,356 Speaker 4: was just like, even though you know it got cut 255 00:13:39,516 --> 00:13:44,716 Speaker 4: after your discussion with Nigel, right, it wasn't like my input, 256 00:13:44,876 --> 00:13:45,676 Speaker 4: but I felt that. 257 00:13:45,796 --> 00:13:50,516 Speaker 1: I was like, but I knew there's his. Also. 258 00:13:50,636 --> 00:13:53,876 Speaker 5: The other thing was that whenever I showed it to you, 259 00:13:53,876 --> 00:13:56,076 Speaker 5: you were like, oh, that's the verse and it's not. 260 00:13:57,836 --> 00:13:58,716 Speaker 1: I didn't know what it was. 261 00:13:58,756 --> 00:14:02,076 Speaker 5: The more big was the chorus in my head and 262 00:14:02,276 --> 00:14:04,476 Speaker 5: whatever you said it was, I was like, that's not it, 263 00:14:04,516 --> 00:14:06,316 Speaker 5: but then it has to be. 264 00:14:06,356 --> 00:14:06,996 Speaker 1: It doesn't matter. 265 00:14:07,036 --> 00:14:10,396 Speaker 5: It was the thing about Gospel I don't know if alright, 266 00:14:10,676 --> 00:14:12,156 Speaker 5: it's just one big yeah. 267 00:14:12,636 --> 00:14:14,556 Speaker 2: I'm glad you guys are sometimes confused by your song 268 00:14:14,596 --> 00:14:16,996 Speaker 2: structures too, because I was about to bring that up 269 00:14:17,036 --> 00:14:19,436 Speaker 2: about one of the new songs.

Yeah 500 00:25:33,116 --> 00:25:37,356 Speaker 4: that's fucking well, but that's it. Like good example, I 501 00:25:37,476 --> 00:25:41,436 Speaker 4: thought that a Change Is Gonna Come was by Otis reading. 502 00:25:41,676 --> 00:25:45,556 Speaker 4: I didn't realize it was Sam Cooked until like muchs later, 503 00:25:46,156 --> 00:25:49,436 Speaker 4: and like I was like, does that mean in my 504 00:25:49,596 --> 00:25:52,276 Speaker 4: head that Otis owns it? Because it's the one that 505 00:25:52,316 --> 00:25:56,076 Speaker 4: I believe, But like the context of Sam Cook and 506 00:25:56,116 --> 00:25:58,036 Speaker 4: the reason why I wrote it and the bravery it 507 00:25:58,076 --> 00:25:58,956 Speaker 4: took for him to do. 508 00:25:58,876 --> 00:25:59,796 Speaker 1: That, it's insane. 509 00:26:00,076 --> 00:26:02,316 Speaker 4: Yeah, like if you put that in context of the 510 00:26:02,356 --> 00:26:06,116 Speaker 4: pop machine then and how racist it was, the bravery 511 00:26:06,196 --> 00:26:11,876 Speaker 4: is untouchable. But that I'm like this Besides, the point 512 00:26:12,116 --> 00:26:15,996 Speaker 4: is virgin is the one because it's it's what I 513 00:26:16,076 --> 00:26:19,396 Speaker 4: learned it to be, And like I think it's like 514 00:26:19,676 --> 00:26:23,036 Speaker 4: if that's a sense of ownership, like if I own 515 00:26:23,956 --> 00:26:29,116 Speaker 4: the Walkman's song and make it mine, because I mean it, 516 00:26:29,116 --> 00:26:31,676 Speaker 4: it's not my writing, but if I mean it, then 517 00:26:31,716 --> 00:26:33,836 Speaker 4: it's it's as beautiful. 518 00:26:33,556 --> 00:26:33,756 Speaker 5: You know. 519 00:26:34,396 --> 00:26:34,836 Speaker 1: I agree. 520 00:26:34,876 --> 00:26:36,916 Speaker 2: I wish that way of thinking was a little more 521 00:26:36,916 --> 00:26:38,996 Speaker 2: prevalent in music because it's like there, I mean, why 522 00:26:39,076 --> 00:26:41,756 Speaker 2: not pull from other things, you know, like make a 523 00:26:41,836 --> 00:26:45,036 Speaker 2: song yours like that kind of adding that kind of 524 00:26:45,596 --> 00:26:47,876 Speaker 2: variety back in the music would help make it, in 525 00:26:47,916 --> 00:26:48,916 Speaker 2: my view, more interesting. 526 00:26:49,356 --> 00:26:52,276 Speaker 4: There's issues there, like if you like, I mean, how 527 00:26:52,276 --> 00:26:54,796 Speaker 4: many writers did Harry Stele sound on that album? And 528 00:26:54,876 --> 00:26:56,316 Speaker 4: you get credit on all of it? I don't know 529 00:26:56,316 --> 00:26:59,076 Speaker 4: how much he wrote. I'm not criticizing the guy obviously, 530 00:26:59,356 --> 00:27:01,676 Speaker 4: Like I'm not gonna lie. I like Harry Starles's music, 531 00:27:02,276 --> 00:27:05,716 Speaker 4: but like obviously had lots of writers on that, and 532 00:27:06,316 --> 00:27:08,236 Speaker 4: I don't know whether I want to know that or 533 00:27:08,276 --> 00:27:10,996 Speaker 4: I don't think if I thought that Harry Steals wrote 534 00:27:10,996 --> 00:27:14,356 Speaker 4: it all, I'd enjoy even more. Yeah, not all of it. 535 00:27:14,436 --> 00:27:16,756 Speaker 4: I just like his singles. Some of them are really 536 00:27:16,876 --> 00:27:21,796 Speaker 4: good pop songs. I think like knowing that an artist has. 537 00:27:22,036 --> 00:27:23,996 Speaker 4: But like I think Frank Hoschsin is a great example. 538 00:27:24,076 --> 00:27:27,556 Speaker 4: How many producers does does he work with? And it's 539 00:27:27,596 --> 00:27:31,316 Speaker 4: still incredible to me? So I guess it's I don't know, 540 00:27:31,356 --> 00:27:33,596 Speaker 4: it's a cut us as well. I think I just 541 00:27:33,636 --> 00:27:35,076 Speaker 4: the less I know the better when it. 542 00:27:35,036 --> 00:27:37,796 Speaker 1: Comes to that stuff. I think, you know, that's it. 543 00:27:37,876 --> 00:27:40,956 Speaker 4: If you ignore all the bullshit and the noise around 544 00:27:40,996 --> 00:27:43,396 Speaker 4: the song, it's a good song. Because one of the 545 00:27:43,396 --> 00:27:48,116 Speaker 4: things I fucking hate that he's gatekeeping pricks in music 546 00:27:48,516 --> 00:27:51,036 Speaker 4: to think that you're not allowed to like something because 547 00:27:51,076 --> 00:27:54,196 Speaker 4: it's like in the pop machine or you know what 548 00:27:54,236 --> 00:27:56,716 Speaker 4: I mean, Like, you know, I got no time for 549 00:27:56,756 --> 00:27:59,236 Speaker 4: that ship. I think a good song is a good song. 550 00:27:59,356 --> 00:28:02,476 Speaker 4: The less I know the better because I'm a judgmental prick. 551 00:28:04,796 --> 00:28:06,236 Speaker 2: It's good to know about It's a good thing to 552 00:28:06,236 --> 00:28:08,556 Speaker 2: know about yourself, you know, as you move through the world. 553 00:28:09,236 --> 00:28:11,076 Speaker 1: I appreciate you three therapy man. 554 00:28:11,236 --> 00:28:15,596 Speaker 5: But I mean, but that's it. The mystery is key, 555 00:28:15,716 --> 00:28:20,916 Speaker 5: I think, especially since becoming musicians full time and as 556 00:28:20,956 --> 00:28:24,796 Speaker 5: a producer, and you kind of look behind the wizard's 557 00:28:24,836 --> 00:28:27,796 Speaker 5: curtain and it does dissolve away some of the mystery, 558 00:28:28,196 --> 00:28:31,716 Speaker 5: and it's kind of really, I'm not as enthusiastic about 559 00:28:31,716 --> 00:28:35,276 Speaker 5: other people's music anymore as I once was because I've 560 00:28:35,276 --> 00:28:36,756 Speaker 5: lost some of the sense of mystery. 561 00:28:37,036 --> 00:28:40,756 Speaker 2: Yeah, has it made making your music less fun in 562 00:28:40,756 --> 00:28:42,916 Speaker 2: a way too, or no, no. 563 00:28:42,596 --> 00:28:44,556 Speaker 1: No, not at all. That's the thing. 564 00:28:44,676 --> 00:28:49,236 Speaker 5: It's not added to that experience because I've got more 565 00:28:50,196 --> 00:28:54,236 Speaker 5: control to the chaos to happen. You know, we're not 566 00:28:54,276 --> 00:28:57,236 Speaker 5: sat behind the producer who's in front of us and 567 00:28:57,316 --> 00:29:01,036 Speaker 5: they're in charge of all this stuff and they're gatekeeping 568 00:29:01,116 --> 00:29:03,876 Speaker 5: some of the information and some of the way we 569 00:29:03,876 --> 00:29:07,156 Speaker 5: could go about stuff. No, I'm stood up there and 570 00:29:07,196 --> 00:29:10,476 Speaker 5: I'm going now, or you know, let's do this like 571 00:29:10,516 --> 00:29:12,716 Speaker 5: that was that was a big thing move on this 572 00:29:12,836 --> 00:29:15,876 Speaker 5: album was about what we've done before in the past, 573 00:29:15,996 --> 00:29:18,076 Speaker 5: and this isn't the negative things. Is just what happens 574 00:29:18,116 --> 00:29:20,196 Speaker 5: with bands, especially when they don't know a lot of 575 00:29:20,236 --> 00:29:25,716 Speaker 5: that about production is you bring the music, it guides 576 00:29:25,796 --> 00:29:29,676 Speaker 5: the production, but it's you're never able to completely one 577 00:29:29,796 --> 00:29:32,916 Speaker 5: hundred percent get what you were trying to guide because 578 00:29:33,476 --> 00:29:36,596 Speaker 5: there's a confluence through the producer that go through. And 579 00:29:36,676 --> 00:29:38,556 Speaker 5: what I wanted on this one was I wanted the 580 00:29:38,556 --> 00:29:43,596 Speaker 5: production to inform the writing so that it was all unified. 581 00:29:43,956 --> 00:29:46,196 Speaker 5: So that's why, you know, like on pop Up Up, 582 00:29:46,196 --> 00:29:48,316 Speaker 5: we were just talking about one of the reasons that 583 00:29:48,396 --> 00:29:51,516 Speaker 5: song is so successful in that achievement around the UK 584 00:29:51,556 --> 00:29:54,716 Speaker 5: garage kind of like aspect of it is because it's 585 00:29:54,716 --> 00:29:57,276 Speaker 5: on a tape loop, and because the tape loop, because 586 00:29:57,316 --> 00:30:00,916 Speaker 5: you're only hearing four snares, ever those snares on repeat, 587 00:30:00,956 --> 00:30:03,956 Speaker 5: it becomes a drum machine. It becomes that that thing 588 00:30:04,036 --> 00:30:06,036 Speaker 5: that you can patch on to you know, what's coming 589 00:30:06,116 --> 00:30:09,076 Speaker 5: up next to you, that repeated rhythm thing. But even 590 00:30:09,556 --> 00:30:13,556 Speaker 5: further down the line, I mean it's like, yes, no, 591 00:30:13,756 --> 00:30:15,916 Speaker 5: I can hear when that's happening in other people's music 592 00:30:15,956 --> 00:30:17,716 Speaker 5: and you're like, you know, it's kind of like why 593 00:30:17,796 --> 00:30:18,436 Speaker 5: is that so cool? 594 00:30:18,436 --> 00:30:19,756 Speaker 1: And I know why it's so cool. 595 00:30:20,036 --> 00:30:22,276 Speaker 5: That kind of removes some of the mystery, but it 596 00:30:22,356 --> 00:30:25,036 Speaker 5: also kind of adds another. 597 00:30:24,756 --> 00:30:25,996 Speaker 1: Tool to the expression. 598 00:30:26,596 --> 00:30:29,476 Speaker 5: Yeah, whereas before we were like we got so close 599 00:30:29,516 --> 00:30:32,236 Speaker 5: with that, but it's not it. Now we're like, we 600 00:30:32,356 --> 00:30:34,716 Speaker 5: got it, we got it, We've got the thing we're set. 601 00:30:34,556 --> 00:30:35,036 Speaker 1: At night to do. 602 00:30:35,716 --> 00:30:38,956 Speaker 2: I imagine working with Nigel god Rich too, is like a 603 00:30:38,996 --> 00:30:41,876 Speaker 2: big aid in that way, right, like in terms of 604 00:30:41,916 --> 00:30:45,076 Speaker 2: creating a more organic process between the writing and the 605 00:30:45,076 --> 00:30:47,396 Speaker 2: production and all that. Kenny, having Kenny, both Kenny and 606 00:30:47,476 --> 00:30:48,836 Speaker 2: Nigel involved. 607 00:30:48,556 --> 00:30:49,596 Speaker 1: Yeah, very much too. 608 00:30:49,796 --> 00:30:53,276 Speaker 5: I'm like absolutely The cool thing about working with Nigel 609 00:30:53,476 --> 00:30:56,156 Speaker 5: is that it's again coming back to that fifties and 610 00:30:56,196 --> 00:30:59,676 Speaker 5: sixties pop stuff. There is nothing that Nigel god Pritz does. 611 00:30:59,836 --> 00:31:02,596 Speaker 5: I mean, he likes to keep the mystery alive. He 612 00:31:02,636 --> 00:31:05,036 Speaker 5: doesn't like talking about his process too much. But there 613 00:31:05,076 --> 00:31:07,636 Speaker 5: is nothing that Nigel Godrich does that people weren't doing 614 00:31:07,676 --> 00:31:08,356 Speaker 5: in the sixties. 615 00:31:09,316 --> 00:31:11,876 Speaker 1: It's just a taste things tape. 616 00:31:11,916 --> 00:31:15,796 Speaker 5: It's all these old crappy eyeboard stuff that's broken. It's 617 00:31:15,796 --> 00:31:18,356 Speaker 5: all working around the restrictions of what you have to hand. 618 00:31:18,716 --> 00:31:20,836 Speaker 5: That's what I love, and I think that that's very 619 00:31:21,556 --> 00:31:25,476 Speaker 5: rare these days because we've all got access to everything. Yeah, 620 00:31:25,756 --> 00:31:28,756 Speaker 5: you know, you've got splice, You've got like all your 621 00:31:28,836 --> 00:31:32,316 Speaker 5: loop banks, you've got any kind of like process that 622 00:31:32,436 --> 00:31:34,316 Speaker 5: you want to hand.

And you're 625 00:31:40,796 --> 00:31:44,316 Speaker 5: losing the restriction that creates creativity, and you're losing the 626 00:31:44,396 --> 00:31:49,116 Speaker 5: restriction that allows you to relinquish some of the control 627 00:31:50,316 --> 00:31:52,596 Speaker 5: because you're like, oh, this is the way that its 628 00:31:52,636 --> 00:31:56,556 Speaker 5: signs going through this great you know, like and once 629 00:31:56,636 --> 00:31:58,436 Speaker 5: once you get into certain places and you find that 630 00:31:58,516 --> 00:32:01,916 Speaker 5: little patch, the little thing, you know, like a weaverb 631 00:32:02,076 --> 00:32:05,276 Speaker 5: or something like that, that just that will inform the 632 00:32:05,396 --> 00:32:07,676 Speaker 5: sign to the rest of the album. As long as 633 00:32:07,716 --> 00:32:10,356 Speaker 5: there's a drum going there, something else in the background, 634 00:32:10,356 --> 00:32:13,276 Speaker 5: the vocals splashing the rhyme, it'll feel like the album. 635 00:32:14,276 --> 00:32:18,116 Speaker 1: So that was that was really cool. He challenged us 636 00:32:18,156 --> 00:32:19,156 Speaker 1: all in the right way. 637 00:32:20,076 --> 00:32:23,596 Speaker 4: I found it very difficult to start, but he was 638 00:32:23,756 --> 00:32:28,676 Speaker 4: very patient and insightful. He was intent on making us 639 00:32:29,476 --> 00:32:33,476 Speaker 4: as accomplished and brilliant as possible, and that meant being 640 00:32:33,636 --> 00:32:42,556 Speaker 4: uncomfortable and challenged. And he is forthright in making the 641 00:32:42,676 --> 00:32:45,476 Speaker 4: best of a song and an album as Kenny is, 642 00:32:46,196 --> 00:32:50,036 Speaker 4: and he worked us and he worked as brilliantly, and 643 00:32:50,156 --> 00:32:54,196 Speaker 4: I'm very fucking grateful that he allowed us the opportunity 644 00:32:54,516 --> 00:32:57,396 Speaker 4: to make something great, because you know, it's like it's 645 00:32:57,436 --> 00:33:00,316 Speaker 4: a steep learning curve keeping up with Nudge, Godrich and 646 00:33:00,396 --> 00:33:05,836 Speaker 4: Kenny beats.

We didn't run through the whole song. 847 00:43:16,756 --> 00:43:18,636 Speaker 4: I'd say, you what, So when we're in the studio 848 00:43:18,676 --> 00:43:20,876 Speaker 4: of Pop Pop Pop when I was in m Kenny, Yeah, 849 00:43:20,996 --> 00:43:23,276 Speaker 4: we were trying to figure out chorus and I was like, 850 00:43:23,476 --> 00:43:26,156 Speaker 4: I thought about a hip hop sample hook and I 851 00:43:26,276 --> 00:43:27,956 Speaker 4: was like, this is our hip hop sample. I was like, 852 00:43:28,316 --> 00:43:30,396 Speaker 4: I'll just sing it far away from the mic and 853 00:43:30,516 --> 00:43:33,156 Speaker 4: distort it and it would just sound like an old sample. 854 00:43:33,876 --> 00:43:36,116 Speaker 4: And he was like, fuck yeah, So I just did 855 00:43:36,156 --> 00:43:37,996 Speaker 4: that some beams because it's based on a Roll Dark 856 00:43:38,076 --> 00:43:42,356 Speaker 4: quote where he says that like basically shitty people and 857 00:43:42,436 --> 00:43:45,196 Speaker 4: their ugly thoughts come out in their face and they 858 00:43:45,316 --> 00:43:48,396 Speaker 4: look mean and they look like fucking horrible, not necessarily 859 00:43:48,476 --> 00:43:50,756 Speaker 4: ugly people about and what he's saying is so like 860 00:43:51,076 --> 00:43:52,836 Speaker 4: if you're a nasty prick, you can see it in 861 00:43:52,876 --> 00:43:56,036 Speaker 4: your face. But he said that good people and people 862 00:43:56,116 --> 00:43:58,556 Speaker 4: that have beautiful thoughts, it shines out of their flace 863 00:43:58,676 --> 00:43:59,356 Speaker 4: like somebeams. 864 00:43:59,956 --> 00:44:02,716 Speaker 1: And I just love I love that quote. And knowing 865 00:44:02,796 --> 00:44:04,876 Speaker 1: what he was like, you thought he was a real cynic. 866 00:44:05,356 --> 00:44:09,396 Speaker 4: He wrote, he's really kind of like Uncanny Chill, these 867 00:44:09,476 --> 00:44:12,916 Speaker 4: books that are kind of a bit sinister for sick 868 00:44:12,996 --> 00:44:16,436 Speaker 4: and empowering for children in like a wicked way. So 869 00:44:16,516 --> 00:44:18,116 Speaker 4: I wanted to do that quote, so I chucked it 870 00:44:18,156 --> 00:44:20,236 Speaker 4: in a sort of song spots for my kid. I 871 00:44:20,316 --> 00:44:22,276 Speaker 4: wanted it to be like a steparate thing that's a 872 00:44:22,396 --> 00:44:25,996 Speaker 4: sample and not to this song. It doesn't lyrically fit 873 00:44:26,516 --> 00:44:28,196 Speaker 4: with what I was singing in the verses, but it 874 00:44:28,356 --> 00:44:31,116 Speaker 4: fits in the theme of the song as a sample. 875 00:44:31,396 --> 00:44:32,796 Speaker 3: That's cool. And that's what I love about too. 876 00:44:32,836 --> 00:44:36,276 Speaker 2: It's like there's a lot of repetition, but there's also 877 00:44:36,316 --> 00:44:38,236 Speaker 2: a lot of chaos in your songs, and so it's 878 00:44:38,316 --> 00:44:40,876 Speaker 2: never like there's repetition so I know what's next, or 879 00:44:40,916 --> 00:44:44,116 Speaker 2: there's repetition. So I've heard this before, and I think 880 00:44:44,156 --> 00:44:47,996 Speaker 2: that's what makes you guys' music so listenable, you know, 881 00:44:48,196 --> 00:44:50,036 Speaker 2: like just makes people want to go back and listen 882 00:44:50,116 --> 00:44:53,556 Speaker 2: more and again.
