IndieView is the musician's resource on songwriting. We interview the artists that make amazing music and have them spill the beans through interviews, live demonstrations and song breakdowns. Our goal is to teach you how to make great songs. Period.
I am setting up at Ripley Grier Studios in New York City. There’s a huge window in the room staring at the Empire State Building, but all I pay attention to are the multitude of air conditioners hanging out the windows of the alley below. I’m all set up but I keep scurrying to make sure everything is perfect and I hear a British voice behind me. They look tired as hell, it’s obvious their first visit to New York was a busy one, going from interview to interview… photoshoot and then gigs at night. All week.
Thom tried to stay awake but his eyes say differently. They all just needed a nap, kinda wish I brought a blow up mattress for them. I think they were hoping the same thing. Nevertheless, they managed to give the goods in this interview. They talked about how they wrote the album, their take on songwriting, and their favorite albums of all time. These amazingly talented kids are in their early twenties but their sound resembles that of experienced veterans. Never making haste in their music, though not wasting time. Hayden talks about not wasting a bit of sound in their music. There’s no room for it, anyway.
