Tell us about your latest release
We recently released our cover of the Bee Gee classic ‘Tragedy’ and we’re really happy with how it turned out! It was originally released as a pre-order special back in 2022 for our debut album ‘Look At Me Now’, but we’ve re-mixed it for this release and you should all DEFINITELY check it out!
We also recently released a new. Music video for our track ‘Not Your Mannequin’. The video features ourselves as puppets prancing around and we had so much fun making the video.
We have some more sneaky releases planned before the end of the year so keep your eyes peeled for our upcoming Christmas miracle.
What was the recording process like? Was it in a studio or do you do it all yourselves?
We do everything in house. Freddy, who is the bassist and backing vocalist in the band, also takes care of all the production. For our latest releases we rented a rehearsal room and recorded drums ourselves whilst everything else is done in Freddy’s home studio, aside from the occasional recordings we had to go out and do “in the field”.
How do you guys write the songs?
The process for our last album was the best process to play on our strengths. Kitty and
Freddy would flesh out demos in their own time and then send the tracks over to each other to finesse/write over. This started out of necessity over COVID but we found it was the best way to get the most out of our song writing. We would go over fine details/discrepancies in person, but the bulk of it was done this way.
What were your main influences while writing?
It’s usually whatever springs to mind really. We try and go with the flow so as to not limit
ourselves so we could be influenced by anything – could be a story, a film, a little melody, whatever flows our boats. This has allowed us to get pretty whacky with our song writing and our album ‘Look At Me Now’ is a great example of this – it’s truly an eclectic mix of genres and influences.
What is your favourite song on the new release and why?
As cliché as it is, we can’t really pick a favourite. Especially off our last album, where every song is so different it all depends on our mood. There are definitely songs that will become staples in our live sets and songs that we might struggle to play live in the future, but that’s not out of picking favourite as much as it is due to practical reasons.
How did you come up with the name of the release?
Our latest video ‘Not Your Mannequin’ has a very clear message and the song title
encapsulates that message perfectly. Plus it meant we were able to play with puppets for
the video which is always a plus.
Have you got any gigs or a tour coming up where people can hear the songs live?
We don’t’ have many shows lined up in the near future, but we’ll definitely be down for shows across the country in 2025. Keep your eyes peeled to see if we’re playing in a town near you!
