Our music over the years has been very cinematic. It's surprising we never really got into film soundtracks.

I like their darkness but I also like the pop-side of the Velvet Underground.

Music is really all about experimentation and lots of trial and error. It's just mind-numbingly boring until you hit on something that works well.

I try to get a degree of realism in my music.

God knows why - no pun intended - but every time I write a song, I feel a need to touch on religion.

I don't like to think 10 years down the road.

Once I'd chosen the songs, it seemed like it would just be a question then of recording them. But it's a case of trying to re-invent the songs; taking them in different directions.
