๐ŸŽธ๐‘ฉ๐‘น๐‘ฐ๐‘จ๐‘ต: That's the question that matters. Why would James be hurt ? Why would James be a human being ? Who is James ? Who is James to you ? I hope it will be different for you and the rest of the team. As I told you off-air, I don't really tend to explain songs like that. I prefer people to have a personal connection to the song, to be able to experience their own story through the song. I think that's how you get longevity out of a piece of music.

๐ŸŽธ๐‘ฉ๐‘น๐‘ฐ๐‘จ๐‘ต: I write for myself because I need to write. It's an emergency basically. We just hope that people will like it. But how can you communicate emotion to someone else if you don't have emotion for your own song ? How are you going to make someone else happy if your song doesn't make you happy ? Or that tells something important to you ? When you go to watch a Steven Spielberg movie, especially with the music, you see Spielberg's hand always pushing a button. "Okay now you're going to feel like that. Now you're going to feel like this and now you're going to feel like this". I don't want to do that to people who listen to our music. I prefer that they find their own interpretation. That way, the song can live much longer in their heart.

๐ŸŽธ๐‘บ๐‘ป๐‘ฌ๐‘ญ๐‘จ๐‘ต: The process is quite instinctual when it comes to writing our music. And the way that we react is based on our emotional basis. If we both feel that it feels right, that's usually the starting point for our songs.

But honestly, we were afraid of getting bored. So we had to approach the whole record with an attitude like: "What do we normally do ? Okay. We're doing the opposite, we're doing something that's out of our comfort zone". We didn't want to get too comfortable, we needed danger and risk.

๐ŸŽธ๐‘ฉ๐‘น๐‘ฐ๐‘จ๐‘ต: I don't feel persecuted by social networks. It's really very, very simple. You probably just don't have to engage with it, that's all. But yes, I do feel oppressed by surveillance. Is there anywhere in this fucking world where you can go without people watching you ? There's not enough mystery in this world I think. But it's worth pointing out, there's no one on their social networks who presents themselves in an authentic way, there's really no one who presents themselves without a filter. These are people who project an image that they want the world to see in a certain way that is not actually real. We've taken that aesthetic and pushed it to the extreme.
