Elliot Minor Chat To I Like Music

Elliot Minor: Jim is an awesome guy! We all love hanging out with him as a person and his music knowledge and skills are also awesome! During the recording process things he picks out and changes seem insignificant, but then when you stand back and hear the finished track, every little thing he does, from the instrument sounds to the layout of the song, makes it sound really good! He doesn't need much sleep, so we'll finish for the day at 2am. Then he'll be back in there at 8am working and listening - it can be really tough to keep up with!

ILM: Who/What are your musical inspirations?

Elliot Minor: We are all in a period where radio and TV have gone very pop/dance. lots of solo acts perceived as rock are really session musicians playing rock/pop music. Thankfully there are still plenty of bands out there doing their own thing and breaking through. Having played loads of shows now we have been able to see, and in some cases meet, other musicians we respect a lot. That has made our influences very broad. We all listen to new albums by The Used, Biffy Clyro, The Who, Muse and loads of others, but our goal is for Elliot Minor to have its own sound. Our inspiration is to make our own music in our own way.
