Q: Can you start by describing your sound?
Rob: I think we try and make pretty melodic, percussive music dealing with quite dark subject matter, but with jaunty melodies. It’s hard to do!
Q: So disguising the dark subject matter?
Rob: Yeah, you could say that!
Q: The phrase ‘Kitchen Sink Indie’ has been used to describe you, care to comment?
Rob: It might just be lazy journalism, as we do mention a kitchen and a sink separately in a couple of songs, so they could have just put the two together, or it might be an interesting description.
Q: So it’s not a reference to classic ‘kitchen sink dramas’?
Rob: I think a lot of the lyrics do deal with an objects perspective on a relationship or social situation, so there might be something in it.
Q: There are a diverse set of influences listed on your website, people like Roald Dahl and Ella Fitzgerald, did you write that or is someone else responsible for it?
Rob: Yeah I think you could site those as some of our influences, like the imagination of Roald Dahl and with classical music as well, like Elgar and Debussy. There’s a lot to take from it.
