I’m not doing [the next record] with a band this time. I just got the urge to keep it really simple. My reaction to everything in life is when it gets a bit complicated to water it down and make it simple again. Like, I love the convenience of the city, but I also have to remember that convenience is not always a good thing. It makes you forget what it is to be a human being. I’m recording out in the countryside and that influences the sound, certainly. You can quite often hear birds in the background. Little children laughing and stuff like that.
