The Webb Sisters chat to I Like Music

Hattie: It was a real high for the whole band, it really was, because we had some of the Verve band play with us, when we recorded with Youth, and that was a pretty special moment. Because at that point they'd played on a couple of the songs, and Please just came out of nowhere; we weren't expecting to record it and it's ended up being one of our favourites on the album.

ILM: That organic process must be really enjoyable. Now, your music is charming, heartfelt, melody-rich, thoughtful, and well… brilliant. Can you describe the Webb Sisters songwriting and music-making process?

Hattie: I think it's different every time really, you can't confine it into one method or one explanation, like for example, on the song I Still Hear It, I was playing that harp riff that's throughout the song and Charley came along and put some chords to it, and that's how that evolved. Musically we felt there was something there first. But sometimes a lyric comes and the song evolves around the lyric. Some songs come in about five minutes and some take…Everything Changes we wrote about five different choruses fo it, and we love how it is now, but sometimes songs take a process of months and sometimes it takes hardly any time at all. So it's different every time.
