I began our first meeting by showing Pete and Thomas (next door neighbour, talented musician) my tracks so I can get a better idea of what they think about the vibe, structure, development and just overall direction the songs are going in. They were both extremely happy with them and thought they were very much in the style of BJM (Brian Jonestown Massacre), The Dandy Warhols and Death in Vegas. They preferred ‘You and I’ the most, mostly due to how developed it sound in terms of the inclusion of a variety of musical elements.

From here, we felt that I should complete the structure and lyrics for each song by the next time I head down to Nottingham, so that we can record some of his electronic drums to a set structure, allowing us to get a better idea of how each track will feel.
