“I have been writing new songs since I stopped touring the last record. I have a house full of old instruments and drums and I just recorded to my heart’s content. There was a period of real manic writing as I find unproductive periods too much to bear.

The new album sounds like music I would like to dance to. Half of the album was written on drums instead of guitar or piano as I just wanted to make music that would keep me feel up throughout the recording process. At times the subject matter can be quite sinister so I wanted the music to counter that so I could enjoy it more.

Sometimes I wish this record was as disjointed as the last one but I don’t actually think I’m capable of making a record that is completely cohesive anyway. I mean that in a good way though. It’s just that the musical freedom is too great when you are left to your own devices,” she concludes.
