𝓑𝓻𝓲𝓪𝓷: We're not bad. We're a bit tired, we've just done our first TV show. Loud Like Love TV, on YouTube, a 90 minute show, maybe a bit longer, a way to launch the album live in several cities: London, Tokyo, Los Angeles.


💦 𝑭𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒚𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒔 𝒉𝒂𝒗𝒆 𝒑𝒂𝒔𝒔𝒆𝒅 𝒃𝒆𝒕𝒘𝒆𝒆𝒏 𝑳𝒐𝒖𝒅 𝑳𝒊𝒌𝒆 𝑳𝒐𝒗𝒆 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒑𝒓𝒆𝒗𝒊𝒐𝒖𝒔 𝒂𝒍𝒃𝒖𝒎 𝑩𝒂𝒕𝒕𝒍𝒆 𝑭𝒐𝒓 𝒂 𝑺𝒖𝒏, 𝒘𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒉𝒂𝒔 𝒉𝒂𝒑𝒑𝒆𝒏𝒆𝒅 𝒅𝒖𝒓𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒕𝒉𝒐𝒔𝒆 𝒚𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒔 ?
𝓑𝓻𝓲𝓪𝓷: You know it's standard: we record, we release the album, we tour for two years all over the world. We still took six months off before we started working on a new album... Except instead of taking six months to do it, it took eleven.


💦 𝑾𝒉𝒚 𝒅𝒊𝒅 𝒊𝒕 𝒕𝒂𝒌𝒆 𝒔𝒐 𝒍𝒐𝒏𝒈 ? 𝑾𝒂𝒔 𝒊𝒕 𝒅𝒊𝒇𝒇𝒊𝒄𝒖𝒍𝒕 ?
𝓑𝓻𝓲𝓪𝓷: The music not so much, but the lyrics, that was harder for me. I'm getting more and more stringent with myself, from a quality point of view. I don't want to repeat myself, even if it's inevitable, because we have a very strong style but we're always looking for a new meaning, a new way to approach our identity. We threw away a lot more in this album, even melodies that we really liked but that weren't fresh enough. You have to learn to throw away gracefully, not to be precious.
𝓢𝓽𝓮𝓯𝓪𝓷: With six albums, it's always hard not to repeat yourself, sometimes I would come up with melodies, think it's really good, and then it would sound like something we've done before.


💦 𝑾𝒊𝒕𝒉 𝒔𝒊𝒙 𝒂𝒍𝒃𝒖𝒎𝒔, 𝒘𝒓𝒊𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒏𝒆𝒘 𝒎𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒊𝒂𝒍 𝒔𝒉𝒐𝒖𝒍𝒅 𝒃𝒆 𝒆𝒂𝒔𝒊𝒆𝒓 ?
𝓑𝓻𝓲𝓪𝓷: No, quite the opposite. Because we want to evolve, to get better. If we were a career band, we would have made a lot of songs that sounded like our biggest hits, but we're not interested in that, even though we think that's what some factions of our fanbase would want. We make music to enjoy ourselves and then we hope that other people enjoy listening to us. If we don't enjoy it, it becomes mechanical and soulless... and boring.

𝓢𝓽𝓮𝓯𝓪𝓷: If you start to make someone want to please you never reach your goal because you have no emotional conviction. Music is such a personal thing. When we compose, we don't think about the fans, we have to like the songs ourselves first. We also think that we create songs that we're going to play on stage for two years or more, if we don't believe in them a little bit, it's suicide.
𝓑𝓻𝓲𝓪𝓷: We actually enjoy confusing our fans !

𝓑𝓻𝓲𝓪𝓷: Universally, the album has been well received so far. It's proof that if you really do something with passion, it shows and it's heard. And the fans recognize that this album was made with a lot of love.


💦 𝑳𝒐𝒗𝒆 𝒊𝒔 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒐𝒎𝒏𝒊𝒑𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒆𝒏𝒕 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒎𝒆 𝒐𝒇 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒔 𝒏𝒆𝒘 𝒂𝒍𝒃𝒖𝒎...
𝓑𝓻𝓲𝓪𝓷: Love is drug... but it's also an addiction, there are people who suffer from it. Addiction to love and sex is completely different from addiction to alcohol or drugs, but it's something that exists... But we didn't choose a theme for writing this album... It's the creative process itself that dictates that and that becomes the source of inspiration. We create the music instinctively. It's only afterwards that you realise in your subconscious that at that moment you are talking about love. It's more honest to do it that way. I know there are bands that write in a much more intellectual way but that's not really our thing.

𝓑𝓻𝓲𝓪𝓷: We didn't want it that way. But what's true is that for every album we don't want to do the same thing as the last one. Not to use the same methods: that's where we start. But we don't choose the atmosphere or the subjects we're going to tackle. It doesn't reflect a state of mind but rather a discipline, i.e. it's by creating that inspiration comes. We are not the kind of artists who wait for inspiration to come, it comes through the work.


💦 𝑾𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒘𝒂𝒔 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒎𝒐𝒔𝒕 𝒅𝒊𝒇𝒇𝒊𝒄𝒖𝒍𝒕 𝒔𝒐𝒏𝒈 𝒕𝒐 𝒘𝒓𝒊𝒕𝒆 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒔 𝒂𝒍𝒃𝒖𝒎 ?
𝓢𝓽𝓮𝓯𝓪𝓷: Loud Like Love and Begin The End came very quickly, but we had a hard time with A Million Little Pieces.
𝓑𝓻𝓲𝓪𝓷: It took us a long time to find the right style for that song. It finally clicked in rehearsal with our producer. He almost became a fourth member of the band. During the writing process we were so emotionally involved that we had no perspective. It's essential to have someone more objective, someone from the outside to tell you: "Well, you've got it or not, it's not there yet". And a good producer doesn't tell you how to do it, but insists that you go on and find out for yourself where you want to go.

𝓑𝓻𝓲𝓪𝓷: It's about a tragic love affair, torn apart by addictions. It's also about the search for redemption, and asking for forgiveness. What's interesting is that the first song on the album Loud Like Love and the last Bosco were written at the same time. On the one hand you have the big, saturated, punk, upbeat guitars, on the other hand a tragic story. We thought we had all the spectrums of emotions to explore between these two songs.

𝓑𝓻𝓲𝓪𝓷: The saddest songs are the most tender songs, but not always. The most beautiful is extremely subjective and depends on what you find beautiful. Personally, it's the sad songs and melancholic tunes that touch me the most, but in a very positive way. I feel very alive listening to them because they provoke very strong emotions, like with this Beatles song, Yer Blues written by John Lennon. It's an extremely sad song, completely depressing, but the music is quite violent, hard blues that lets out a lot of frustration and anger. It comes with sadness... We are big Beatles fans.
𝓢𝓽𝓮𝓯𝓪𝓷: There are different degrees of sadness. If there is hope then it can be very poetic. Bosco for example touched me a lot because it's a very sad song with little hope, it's very heavy. But it's also beautiful.

𝓑𝓻𝓲𝓪𝓷: (𝑙𝑎𝑢𝑔ℎ𝑠) yes it's not a song about the financial crisis as many people think. You have to look a little bit under the surface! It's actually a song about carnal obsession, about jealousy. The narrator of this song says: "You can rob banks, make fun of the disabled, behave in an anti-Semitic way, I don't care, as soon as you get home, be satisfied. But if you look at someone else the way you look at me, watch out! Obsession and jealousy are two things that interest me: how to talk about love, without talking about its brutal and violent side?

𝓑𝓻𝓲𝓪𝓷: There is so much more to do! We are aware that we are in a very privileged position. We're lucky that we can still do what we love after twenty years and that people still listen to us. Let's hope it lasts, because we don't know how to do anything else. (𝑙𝑎𝑢𝑔ℎ𝑠)
