Kind was put down very quickly. How important was it to capture the moment on this record?
“It was the record that spoke to me really, I didn’t try to sit down and make an album. The songs came to me in a very real way. I didn’t really want to clutter those songs up with overproduction or over-thinking. Sometimes you can go away for two weeks with the boys, and then I’m tinkering about in a room for about six months, which after a while gets on your fucking nerves! So, it was quite nice to spend 12, 13 days in a room, record it all, then take it back and mix it.”
It’s quite a reflective set. Was writing a cathartic process?
