about

A big thing for us is to always be true to ourselves and where we’re in life at the moment when we make a record

Now let me explain further

Our second album ‘Fancy Footwork‘ was created at the height of the bloghouse era while 2014 LP ‘White Woman‘ was us in bridal mode, celebrating our 10-year milestone as a duo making them “basically married”.

Fast forward another 10 years, and we’re in our ‘Adult Contemporary’ phase. It had to be something a little more slick and mature and the subject matter had to reflect that which is where we are currently at in our lives

Now, it’s like ‘OK, how can you reconcile the funk, fun, dance, lighthearted music with real issues that have to do with adult relationships?’ That became the brief on this album.

I feel like we’re all reckoning with what it really means to enter actual adulthood, and how to navigate that. The question we asked ourselves while creating this record was ‘How do you stay funky in your 30s and 40s while navigating these real-life situations ?

Also, ‘Adult Contemporary’ is such a funny album title. I don’t know if this is my best album but is this really our best album title. That’s for sure!

On this album, P and I we’re like, ‘Let’s take it back to the days of being your mom’s basement, let’s just do everything ourselves and go back to how we used to do it’

I was able to find my voice again but it’s different now because I’m more comfortable singing and I’ve had more experience. What came out of that were just these songs about relationship topics that people our age deal with.

I realised that if you can be sincere and funny, at the same time or sincere and cheeky at the same time, that’s really the challenge

Being funny for the sake of being funny and ironic? that’s corny. Being fake sincere or a tear-jerker, it’s like,’Yo, who are you bro?’ Like, look at the world we live in. The goal is to strike that balance. You always have that duality and I feel like we really cultivated that with this album

Rashid Williams' drumming across the album is insane - no better example than the eye-watering fill on Hot Mess. This was amazing to see live and they've captured so much of the energy on the recording ... pauloffduty

This was not what I expected! I thought this was a pop group (first time hearing this band) but I had to eat my hat because my assumption was so wrong. If you are a fan if complex piano layers, check this out! Also, the bassist and drummer are insane in here. I choked hearing one of the riffs it was that good! nvan92
