I was wary of repeating what we’d done with (one off single featuring Justine Jones from Employed To Serve) 'Long Gone' coming after (2016 album 'Devolver'), so I tried to make an EP instead of a single - but by the time I got there, I’d written so much material on the road and in rehearsals we ended up with enough for a mini album. I’ve always loved the format, so many of my favourite records are seven or eight tracks long, I think it’s a perfect package. It’s the musical version of a novella, like Conrad’s ‘Heart Of Darkness’ or Waugh’s ‘The Loved One’, which I was actually reading at the time of recording. It’s a dirty, dark-sounding record based on uncomfortable, conflicting emotions.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWorking again with producer Space (Idles, Black Futures), the pair came up with a word, ‘neisty’, to guide them as to how it should sound - \"A perfect mixture of nasty and nice.

It’s the angriest and most political record I’ve made since Muscle Memory, a painful place to be.

As Jamie tells us:\"We wanted to find some way to reward the first people to support the album campaign by pre-ordering, and we thought the best way was to do a super intimate, invite-only show somewhere with some new songs, some old songs, and then a quick Q\u0026amp;A to make it different and a bit special. The thing I like about the show is that you can tell from the recording that I was nervous at first, playing totally new songs in that serene atmosphere, and then things gradually warm up and by the end we're having a right old laugh, and I think that gives the record a unique shape that's very truthful and interesting.  \"Featuring tracks from Devolver alongside cherished older songs including a cover of Cyndi Lauper's 'Money Changes Everything', it also includes a Q\u0026amp;A as well as all the in-between song chat kept in. As Jamie explains:\"On my favourite live albums, like the ones Johnny Cash did at Folsom and St Quentin for instance, my favourite bits are always the in between chats where the artists communicates directly with the audience, and I think that's one of the main benefits of a live album over a studio album, you get that connection. I also love Steve Martin's comedy albums and Rollins' Think Tank, so even though the Q\u0026amp;A wasn't structured or scripted it's still reminiscent of these, almost like spoken word or standup in places\"That's not all though.
