dog wall play
'Dog Days' was recorded with pens and the wall, and half a stolen drum kit that was out of tune, in what was basically a cupboard. The only instrument I could really play was my voice, so we just layered everything a hundred times. It was enthusiasm over skill.
men waiting sound
I always wanted to sound like a man, like Jeff Buckley or Tom Waits.
devil shakes hard
It's hard to dance with the Devil on your back, So shake him off.
names mad long
I made music with my friend, who we called Isabella Machine to which I was Florence Robot. When I was about an hour away from my first gig, I still didn't have a name, so I thought 'Okay, I'll be Florence Robot/Isa Machine', before realising that name was so long it'd drive me mad.
I've just never been a tracksuit-wearer.
