Like, I fucking hate recording albums. It's stressful. It's a pain in the ass. Promo, I get into a point where I quit like it and it's kind of like fun, but it's not like while I got into it, I fucking despise doing music videos. I hate doing photo shoots. I hate getting my photo taken. I only do all that stuff.

Coming this summer, but I think when COVID first got Lockdowns first were announced, we were all fucking a thingy dad. I was a bit like I was meant to go on tour to an America to support Nile Horn. But having had just had the fucking horrible experience I had over the two weeks, I was in a position where I was, I don't know if I can perform live anymore without having a panic attack.

That was really fucking hard for us to see you in that position.”

So it's this constant sort of like state of fuck, fuck, fuck. I need to like, right. It's like that thing of like, I mean, it's Spoken about to death, but like that thing I've not been able to sit back and enjoy it because you're always on the move to the next thing and on the move to the next thing.

“That's wild. So this time I'm shitting myself. But this is the problem I think the nature of the music industry is a big problem with, I mean, it's got so much better and I've had a lot of support from everyone around me. No one forces me to do anything. No one really, we were able, this is like almost unheard of, but like we weren't able to go away and make new music and bring it to the label and be like, this is the new music that we're going to put out. And they said, great, thank you. We will now do our job with this. So it's like a lot of people have maybe an ANR who's quite, oh no, you change this, change this and that. We were given like the first album on free reign to kind of go do what to do. People have always checked up on us.

I mean, it's not like things like that if I'm calling myself chubby. That's not like my, I can do something about that. I'm like, not what I mean. So it's something like There is an aspect as well like you kind of You get to a point and doing interviews, like especially radio stations, we do just say the same thing over and over again. So it is the same in that regard of people say it a lot like you're very self-deprecating. It's like, well, yes, but these are, I'm going to ask the same questions everywhere I go.

As something that has become kind of synonymous with me doing interviews and all the rest of it. And I do it a lot in my private life, but not like it's not like a constant every sentence, like kind of how it is on interviews and things like that.”

“I think it's not necessarily my mother's because my mum's actually a nurse, so she's not like. She is like the least if I phone and I say mum, I've got a headache, I'm dizzy, I think I've got like a tumor or something. She'll be like, shut the fuck up, you're fine. Like, listen, take some parasitam, I'll go to sleep. You'll be grand. I'll see you later. My dad is a very, the older I get, the more I understand that my dad, I get all my anxieties and things from my dad. My dad's like a warrior for sure. He's a catastrophizer as well.

“I think that, yeah, I think it is. Kids do, I mean, it's a thing now where people are kind of talking about more kids see a lot more. I actually watched that Joe Wicks documentary a few weeks ago where he was talking about his parents' addictions and things. And he says, like, yeah, kids see so much more and are aware of so much more than we actually know. I totally agree. Because even now, if I'm at a funeral, it could be for someone I have never met in my life. But my mum knew them. If I had to run in my mum's cry, I'd start crying. It's like something that's obviously learnt. You see, I'm crying. One of the worst things you can possibly see your mum or your dad or any of your brothers or sisters in pain are crying or really going through something. And I think, yeah, it's something that just does, even now, sticks with you.”

“That you saw. Oh, for sure. Like, I mean, it's obviously, I mean, I can't imagine losing my mum at this. I mean, I'm 25. My mum would have been 34 when she lost her mum. So, yeah, for sure. I have vivid memories like. Going into my mum's room, she was crying a bit. I think this might have been where Aunt died, but her crying in bed and talking about and then being having to tell me passed away or whatever. Or like I just didn't, I wasn't fully aware of what was going on, but I just saw her so heartbroken and so. Yeah, so distraught that this happened. So I don't know if maybe that's an interesting thought of like, I don't know if maybe that's fed into it and like me doing anything I could to like either chill him up or distract them or whatever. I don't know. But yeah, it's an interesting train of thought.”

“I always think I'm out of dying. And when I was younger, my mum used to taught me, and I used to always be like, Have you locked the doors? Like, even when I was four or five or whatever. And a therapist told me that that was kind of like, that might be because of being exposed to the fact that people are gone, like people disappear. I was aware of what death was at a young age. So I don't know if maybe that's like having seen that sort of, like that sort of profound sadness in my mum when she's lost her mum and lost her sister. I don't know if maybe that's.”

“All right, well, interesting. Yeah, as interesting. I don't know my parents. When I was, I went to a therapist a couple of years ago who had said my mum's mum died when I was three of cancer. Not like cancer. It was cancer. And then a year after her aunt Commit suicide, who was, sorry, my mum's sister, my aunt committed suicide. So my mum lost her mum and a sister in a year of each other. So I don't know if maybe that's, I'm quite like a hypochondriac and I'm kind of like...”

“I think prior to being like 10 and prior to, I don't know, yeah, prior to going to high school or whatever, maybe not even like that, but like when I was younger, I was definitely quite outgoing, I'd say. Like I was quite. I remember I watched when I was like five, I watched Austin Powers. Like, I was like religiously watching Austin Powers. I don't know why my parents allowed me to do that. But I would go to family parties and be asked to recite. I'm a fat bastard at Austin Powers, like the big fat guy that he plays. I'd be asked to recite parts of his thing and I would do it in front of everybody and all the rest of it. But it was never like, again, it was never singing. It was just like acting the goat and like take the piss. And yeah, I would get up and recite all these fat bastard bits and fucking. So yeah, I was definitely like her.”
