Feeder Chat To ilikemusic

A few of the tracks were written a while ago as demos and I came back to them. So we finished a few old tracks. Two or three of them actually made the album. It is hard to remember one specific song. I do write very detailed demos. It is quite a long process. It was over such a long period of time it is hard to pick one particular moment.

ILM: You self-produced the album and there's a return to a rockier sound, to your roots, although it's also pushing you forward as well. What did you learn about making music and each other while making this album?

Grant: Obviously I don't want to dwell on the past. I started off this band with Jon and I have always been the writer. Jon was a very strong personality and it took a long time to gel and for me to write songs with Mark's sound in my head. When you have been in a band with someone for ten years you write songs knowing exactly what they are going to play on it. This is probably the first album, in some way, that I felt totally that Mark's style was in my head. It has re-sorted the band. It has taken a long time. Now there is a real vibe in the studio. We wanted to make a record we all liked and hope that everyone else liked it to. You can't please everybody, there are always different views. But we are proud of it. We have been making music for a long time and we really appreciate the fact that we are still doing it. It is pointless just trying to do something to get a three minute hit rather than doing something that feels right for the band.
