"We were well motivated as this is what we wanted to
do," begins Chi. "We knew we had a limited time and we could have had
more if we wanted but we really just wanted to catch the moment."
"We basically made sure we knew the songs inside out before we went in there,"
adds Soup. "We are a hard working band, gigging three or four times
a week before we went in to make sure we were happy with what we were doing,"
states Chi. "There would have been nothing worse if we just went into the
studio and we hadn't been comfortable with what we were doing. We would have felt
that it would have been a waste of time." All the songs were practically
written before they went into the studio. The girls seem proud that, whilst former
solo artist Tippi concentrated more on the lyrics, there is unity amongst the
ranks with a team effort made on the song writing. "I think having
an equal input defines our sound," starts Chi. "We've all got different
tastes in music and by having our own wee say in it, we get to bring in something
different to it and we're all fighting over where we want the songs to go."
"Aye," agrees Soup. "Everyone has an equal input for that,
the writing is really a thing from us all. Our own strange influences, loads of
different things in music, it's just a big melting pot of ideas really."
From this melting pot would it be possible for the girls to describe how
the album sounds? >> |
