Obviously, we're not a million miles apart ? [we both have] guitars, drums, bass and keyboards. But within those instruments, we're different. Unfortunately, people have been saying I resemble Chris Martin. I just don't need to have that. That winds me up more than anything. |
We recorded and produced it ourselves. We built our own studio and got all of the equipment ourselves. The sound of our new record is very different [from the previous records.] Every [album is] just a different thing -- a different environment, a different time, a different way of approaching [recording]. |
We went to school together, so we've known each other since we were young. At age 15 or 16 we started making music and have been making it ever since. |
You can embellish things [that really happened] sometimes and get a line for a song. Some of it's very literal. Some of it's very abstract. |
