birdy nam nam snad netreba predstavovat, avsak zaujimave je ze novy album vznikol v spolupraci s yuksekom a posledny track spravili justice..



Earlier you mentioned that you couldn’t play a lot of songs off your first album when you were playing live because they were too downbeat. Is the new album taking a more electro approach? Is there a slightly more upbeat electro feel to it?

Yes but the goal was not to do electro music - it’s to do modern music. Music that adapts to this time, we did the first album in Crazy B’s place and we were using only records, most of his records and we also brought our own too. He has a record collection of 10,000 - mainly jazz, soul, disco…mainly black music. That’s why the first album has a lot of sax, contra bass and flute samples. After that, we realized playing live that we wanted the kind of energy that’s in rock n’ roll music and electro music. We used vintage synthesizers and drum machines [on the new album], so now the sound is more electronic. We didn’t want to do electro music, we just wanted to have a modern sound and powerful sound and a lot of energy in the music.


Yuksek has been producing the album. Is that right?

Yeah.

You also worked with Justice on a song for the album. How did that come about?

The last song of the album is produced by Justice. At the time of our first album, they weren’t as known as they are now and we were talking about doing a remix already and we didn’t, unfortunately. This year we played on the same stage a couple of times and the first time they saw us, they told us they liked the live thing. And at that moment we were thinking about finishing the album with Yuksek. They told us one or two songs that they liked and they were two songs that we didn’t plan to add to the album. We gave them the separated tracks, mainly the live version where a lot of elements were played live and they produced it their own way and added a melody, an electric piano melody. We were really happy, it’s the last song of the album and it’s a great outro for the album. A great ending.
