I've always been a bit of a decorator. I think if I wasn't a singer I'd probably be in stage setting or interior design or something. I like clutter and I'm quite visually greedy. I can't have things to be plain; I have to have things looking interesting maybe I'm just a frustrated interior designer stuck in a singing career.

The only music I was listening to for ages was old soul. So I wasn't listening to a lot of new music - especially indie music.

I've been thinking about songwriting more in terms of playing it live, and how it will sound as a band.

Going to parties usually makes me feel depressed, just because I have such social fear after meeting people.

Being heartbroken is like having this really horrible freedom. You can be selfish with your thoughts, which can lead to manic creativity, but at the same time you're just really miserable.

I used to dress like an eight-year-old boy. Traveling has inspired me to be more experimental.

'Spectrum' is in part a disco song. But we play it hard, and it's a real euphoric, wailing tune. It's kind of like a total house anthem, in a way, but it seems to be going down really well. We've got all the grunge kids going mad for disco house raves.
