The lo-fi scene and the riot grrrl thing had a huge influence on me. As a teenager I went to see Bikini Kill and all those bands.

My father is a massive, massive music fan. I grew up listening to rock, soul and jazz.

Make a record in your bedroom on a cheap computer, play it on pirate radio, and that's what's it's all about. You can do something really exciting and you don't need any record companies. The way I do everything comes from that, the impact of those two things.

When I first heard bands like Tortoise, it seemed to come off the back of that world, like let's make a record with three vibraphones and release it on a seven-inch with black-and-white artwork.

Gospel isn't some ditty to make people enjoy their afternoon - it's communicating with God.

With a lot of the music I really love, like Miles Davis, you can go back and see the processes and the stages.

After putting out quite a few albums, there's a feeling of why make another? I was trying to make something that was an album experience.
