Johnny Flynn Chats To I Like Music
ILM: Which track from the album did you have the most fun laying down?
Johnny: There were a few stand out moments. The whole thing as an experience was really fun. One of my favoruite moments was when we were doing the song The Wrote and The Writ. We had recorded it before as a demo and I had recorded it on my own as well as with the band. We had been thinking about the song a lot. In the studio we went deeper into it and developed a couple of melody lines on the mandolin. At one point, Adam the bass player just wandered off into the recording room and was just like "Record this!" We didn't know what he was up to and he started playing the mandolin which is in the instrumental break, you can hear it. We hadn't heard him play it before and it was just the most perfect thing. We were all looking at each other just going, wow! It added so much to it. It became an integral part of the song. That was pretty cool.
