[Em]
[C] So, this is your first time [Em] in New York?
No, no, I haven't [Am] been here in about three years, so it was nice to come back.
Do you have your favourite spots in [G] New York?
I can't really remember, there were little parts.
[Em] I used to like the [E] vintage shops and stuff, and I like the [N] big park and the museums and stuff.
So you're playing your [B] new project with Jack Barrow from [Ab] Portishead, and Nick Deke.
How did you come about meeting those [E] guys?
Well, it's a random story.
I was living in Cardiff at the time, and my friend phoned me up and said,
[D]
oh, my friend's band are looking for a weird singer, do you fancy trying [E] out?
Because he knew I wrote weird lyrics, and I just never really used it with anyone, because I just thought no one would want to use them.
So, anyway, I [N] turned up and met the people, it was kind of like a room full of bearded [E] men.
I didn't know at the time who they were.
Oh, you had no idea?
No, I didn't know at all.
He said [N] something about Beak on the phone, my friend, and I misunderstood him and thought he said Beak or something,
so I was looking for them in MySpace, and I was like, what is this band anyway?
I didn't know, so I turned up and it was really good.
And then, yeah, we said, yeah, we'll try it, we'll keep going.
They didn't mind my political rubbish.
And then [Ebm] I went in MySpace and [N] found them on MySpace and was like, oh no, it's [E] Jim Barrow, Billy, who plays with Robert Plant, it's crazy.
But the thing is, it was more of an experiment [C] anyway.
For me, I didn't want to necessarily record an album,
and they [N] weren't sure what was going to happen either.
They were looking more for a singer for Beak, maybe,
and then it turned out that I kind of did something really weird, and it became its own project.
And the album actually feels like that, it [G] came about pretty naturally.
You guys [E] recorded it in 12 days, right?
Yeah, definitely, yeah.
A very simple, kind of fast process.
Were you comfortable with recording like that?
[N] Yeah, it was good.
In a way, the only input that Jeff gave me was just stay in practice, just do it as you would do it.
So I said, okay.
And I didn't ever get the songs before, because the way we did it was we'd go on YouTube and look for weird songs that we could mess with,
[C] and then go in the next day and say, oh, look what I found, let's try this.
And then [F] I'd print out the lyrics, and take three would be the one on the record.
So it was kind [Gbm] of like, I didn't have a chance at all.
[C] Why make a decision [N] to do covers instead of maybe, you know, regular stuff?
If it had all been my own stuff, right, this album in its already is pretty, a bit of a smack in the face, right?
Okay, if I'd put all my lyrics on it as well, I think just no one would have even gone near it.
Yeah.
They wouldn't have poked it with a barge pole.
It was, it gives it a slight, it just makes it, I suppose, yeah, slightly familiar to the listener,
even though it's not, and a lot of people, so it gives them that kind of connection so that they keep listening to it.
That's cool.
What are some like current bands that you're listening to?
Current bands?
The kind of stuff that you're into?
[D] Well, there's actually quite a good scene that's slowly emerging here and there.
I mean, yesterday I DJed at a night with, is it Cubic Zeronica?
Yeah.
I can't [N] pronounce their name, but they were really good.
I recommend them definitely live, they were amazing.
And then Factory Floor in England, they're good.
Hate Rock, people like that.
Yeah, some good stuff coming out, so I'm kind of, and definitely James Pant's checking them out, he's good.
Yeah, no, I know Gene's good.
Yeah, I'm hoping to, yeah, I might try and send him an email, see if he wants to do anything.
[D] Thanks for coming out here, thanks for breathing the cold with us.
Yeah, thanks for having me.
It was great having you, we [N] really dig the album.
