I have a lot of ideas its just about trying to find ways to get music out of my mind and
on to a recording. Music that feels like its coming from one person's soul and from one
person's point of view about things. When we came do make that video the director Alex
Cortes he got in touch and he sent us like this 60s Italian TV show which was that set
up with those mirrors so that's really what we worked on what we tried to replicate. We
shot the video and I spent a lot of time standing on a mirrored box thinking that I was going
to be stuck there forever and thinking I was going to lose my mind, which I probably did.
When I was little, I was very small I fell in love with this fantastically incredible
instrument called the guitar. Throughout my childhood music was something that was an
anchor for me, something that I could hold on to, something that made life feel special.
The only reason I started singing was because I didn't know anyone who could sing with me.
All I wanted to do was play the guitar. I would have enjoyed being just by myself not
having other people to mess with when I wanted to achieve. Third man records just got in
touch with me and said they were interested in putting out a single. Third Mans based
in Nashville so I went down there and spent a week down there. Yeah and then I toured
with Jack White I toured with him. It was incredible to spend you know just every night
just watching him from the side of the stage watching him perform. I loved his music growing
and I still do very, very much. People who come along to our shows are probably going
to see me behaving like a lunatic. We are doing a lot of festivals and things like that
were traveling around a lot and then I'm going to try to sit down and make another record
I think.
