It was really fun, actually. We went away and did that whole romantic ideal version of being in a band. You go away with your friends, rent a house in the countryside and it’s all very self-indulgent, just what I used to read about in magazines and blogs when I was growing up as a teenager on the Isle Of Wight. I would read about Bon Iver going away to this cabin in the woods and writing For Emma, Forever Ago. It seems to work for him so it was really mad to come off tour and get the opportunity to write an album in that way and start on ideas together, which is something that we’ve always wanted to do since we first started touring.
