Placebo Chat To I Like Music

You are here: I Like Music > interviews > Placebo Chat To I Like Music

ILM: So Battle For The Sun marks the beginning of a new chapter?

Stefan: Yes. The future seems a lot brighter now than it used to. I don't wake up in a panic anymore. I wake up quite happy to come to work and see my boys, whereas before it was a traumatic experience.

ILM: Have those changes affected the Placebo process of making music?

Stefan: Absolutley. I think we hit on a creative relationship. It was a situation where we would walk into the rehearsal room and there would be no tension. Brian and I had been used to walking into a studio full of tension for such a long time. There was a sense of freedom.

ILM: Battle For The Sun uses both strings and horns. How will these elements transfer across to your live show? What can we expect if we come to see Placebo this summer?

Stefan: When the band started in 1996, there was three. Now there are six on stage. So we've basically doubled in size! When we're in the studio recording we don't think about how we will transfer to live. We're recording songs. We don't limit ourselves, you know? We first started using strings on Meds. We did decide to continue that with Battle For The Sun, plus the addition of horns. We tend to complicate our lives with every record! This has led us to having six people on stage. It's pretty much a new Placebo line up. A drummer, a new guitarist, a violinist, then the string parts. What you hear on the record is pretty much how it sounds live. There are no hidden strings or anything! I mean, if I can say it, it's possibly more epic live!
