We like to share music, anything that’s exciting us. We also like rock music, some Australian acts, or indie rock. We listen to a whole variety of music, obviously a lot of electronic music, but also some more commercial music with vocal to more underground. TL - Other artists are probably our biggest influence. So, what would you say our your biggest influences? You’ve said in a previous interview that news and politics don’t normally influence your music. But essentially we’re three songwriter-producers, and we can play any of the parts to begin with, which is a lot of fun for us. JH - When we play on stage, like our show at the Mirage, we have fun after writing the song working out who is going to play what live. Once we get the momentum going, if anybody has an idea, we try that idea. No idea is shut down before we try it, and anyone can contribute anything. Even in terms of who contributes what, it’s a very open table, a very open creative space. JG - No, it’s very collaborative, which is really nice. Does anybody have final say or the power of veto? There’s a different shade people kind of lose themselves a little more.ĭescribe your songwriting process as a team.
If you’re in a club in a smaller space, it can be such an intimate show. Just the atmosphere of being outside and listening to live music is really special. Like the Brooklyn Mirage, everyone was really smiling and feeling good from wherever they were. So if it’s an outdoor venue, you get a different atmosphere. Tyrone Lindqvist - It does depends on the of venue a lot. In Europe, sometimes they’ll be a little more standoffish or too cool. Different places we play, there’s a different kind of interaction. As soon as we finished a song, they would clap very enthusiastically. We played some shows in Southeast Asia around five years ago. When we play Europe or Australia, we can feel a difference. JH - In the US, there’s consistently a really loyal fan base that turns up to all the shows - it’s a really good vibe. Is there a different audience vibe amongst various countries that you visit and perform in? Other tracks like “Like an Animal” can take a year. Sometimes, we can come up and create a song within a day, the foundation of a song, and then we like to take our sweet ass time producing from there. “Innerbloom” was written within a two-day period, and we just took our time really finessing it into laying down the vocals. JG - On average, it changes so so much that it’s hard to say, but that’s the beauty of it. How long does it take you to create to song from ideation to launch?
Playing sets of SOLACE and our older stuff, you could feel the energy of the crowd was different than what we’re used to. That’s our favorite time slot to play at festivals, and that’s definitely my favorite thing that we’ve gotten to experience, because it changes the sounds of the song and the context. We got to play during sunsets for the first time on this new record. That seems to be happening at all the shows, so it’s hard to wrap our heads around how awesome it all is. It was really cathartic - people crying and knowing the words so well, because it means something to them. Specifically, I think putting SOLACE out and putting out some more heartfelt shades of music, seeing people’s reactions to that at our shows and even the entire last year have been really intense. Finishing at the Brooklyn Mirage was a really special way to cap off all the shows. Every night was a pretty mind-blowing and memorable show. We’re pinching ourselves all the way.ĭid you have any favorite moments or highlights on tour? So it’s just really been a dream run, and we’re looking forward to the next few shows. We played two nights there, and it was so incredible - the natural amphitheater they have there with everyone looking down on you to thousands of people in America just welcoming us with open arms. We’ve been playing some of the most amazing venues we’ve only ever dreamt of playing, starting with The Greek Theatre in San Francisco.
