"I Like Music because… I'm no good at anything else" NICK JOHNSTON, CUT OFF YOUR HANDS
ILM:Can you give us your personal description of the vibe of the debut album You and I?
Nick: It's raw and energetic but extremely poppy in that it's singular focus is the melodies and harmonies. Heavily inspired by classic pop song writers and producers. In particular Phil Spector, whom I've developed an obsession for over the last year. We wanted to create a record that listens from start to finish, as opposed to 12 attempts at hit singles all slapped together crudely. So there are some risks on the record, slower, more introverted tracks and lyrically a slightly more mature approach thematically.
ILM: You have some up and coming UK live dates. What can fans expect if they come to see you live?
Nick: We are still learning most of the record, so the live show is similar to what fans have seen from us before, however the newer ones add alot more vibrancy and fun to the set. I'm playing a lot more in the way of percussion, with added drums etc, and beginning to play guitars. It's just more fun really.

Ellen, Los Campesinos: ilikemusic because... It’s the best form of escapism that you can have wherever you are. You could be completely miserable or waiting for a bus and put on any song that inspires you and you can escape into a little world, well that’s what I tend to do anyway.

simon f baker: ilikemusic because... you can transcend the confines of the material world with it, it's probably better than shagging in fact. There is virtually nothing more satisfying than when a load of chords and words suddenly come together into a song ; suddenly everything in life seems to fit and make sense once more.
