We do tend to listen to older stuff. I guess the thing is that after a burst of pure energy people find the only way forward is to mix styles and take a more thoughtful approach.
Most bands struggle to sound so seamless.
This album is about convergence - we've always mixed styles, live and programmed, electronics and samples with guitars and drumkits, but this time we really pushed the live thing. The integration is enhanced by recording live drum and bass parts that were originally programmed - it gives us control over the 'space' that the recording is in and that's key. The other thing is that we throw away a lot of stuff that doesn't work. Quality control and editing are much underrated parts of the creative process. I think the thing with our music is that people tend to like it if they get to hear it and their hearing it via radio or whatever is hard to get with the way music media has gone.
