Sweet Sour

VINYL FORMAT. For their sophomore album the trio returned to the cradle of their first album, their home studio in Southampton. "It's a tiny little room, but there's something about it," says the drummer. "If you can make something sound good in there, it'll sound good anywhere." The creative juices soon started flowing, and the three songwriters – Marsden, Hayward and Richardson – were collaborating more fully than ever before. Scraps of melodies, lyrics and riffs fell into place, and complete songs began to emerge. "We wanted to write material that's primed for where we'd got to," says Marsden. "Beefier songs for bigger stages."
