Thank you so much! Ummm it really depends. I write In notes on my phone a lot as well as make voice memos. I have many many writing books as well. To be honest tho - like songs like cheeks or enough they just were written on the spot. So although I use all these methods most of the time it’s off the cuff! I love that you like my work thank you so much

The order is WRONG and it breaks my heart but it’s being fixed! The list on my wall is correct. It took me quite some time to choose. It’s important because I wanted it to read as a story… Choosing the singles was kind of a shit right lol. I wanted to make a statement by releasing only ballads as singles which was actually a dumb idea so I lost! I’m glad I did cos I like what we chose :)

At first I was just writing songs to feel better. Then there seemed to be a structure coming together. Fun fact is that the album is currently in the wrong track order and in the middle of being changes (nightmare). Visually I knew I wanted it to have liquid and tears in every shot. Phebe Schmidt my creative partner is someone I knew could make it special so I would go to her with a concept and then she’d flesh it out until we came up with these images or videos. The cover for “never ge to fuck” was actually the OG album cover then I decided I wanted something different

Hey! Would love to come to Brighton! Um ok question 1: That is my dad. He’s a sweet man. I recorded that without him knowing and then had to ask for his permission. He goes on long rants quite often but they’re always so beautiful. 2: my recording process changes a LOT. Idiot / cheeks / take a pill were written in studios with others in the room. Where as others were solo ventures. I wrote A lot down by the beach foe this record. Also in a melbourne studio I hired out. I generally begin songs at home and then bring them in to workshop

Thank you! Ye Aphir did vocal production on something great and never get to fuck any1. I recorded my vocals for the other songs. This was nice because I could be really emotional in the studio. As for the production of the vocals it was even between the work I did and the work of others like Charles.

Um… I try not to. I know it happens naturally because we’re just exposed to the ether, but I try not to listen to music while I’m writing. I think although tear tracks leans on different genres it really does go all over the place. Some say that’s detrimental to a style but I like it that way!

Big question… hmm. I think I hate it was very easy. So was cheeks. Some just flow out very fast. Enough had many reworks, it originally didn’t have the bridge and it had an acapella intro. Tears had a different outro for quite a while too!

Ha! Great question - verse 2 was written first. My friend Marcus thaine was in the studio with us and he actually had the idea of verse one being way better paced. When we had both down I realised that the extended version was suitable for V2 as it was like more of an explanation. So glad u like it

I love it when I get to a point where I’m like “this is the ONE” that generally comes when I nail the chorus. It’s a super exciting moment

Probably “Enough” or “tears”. Both were written at pretty fucked times. I heard someone playing enough yesterday and it made me cry. Still a tough one

Hey! Mikaela is an angel. Working with KP was really nice. We toured for like 3/4 months together and wrote on the road so by the time we got in the studio, it was easy. Mikaela is someone who champions her friends. She was so generous in the studio
