It was while on tour in the UK with RCB that Mahood started revisiting early 1980s post punk such as New Order, Siouxsie and the Banshees, and Cocteau Twins, a sound and attitude that became the foundation for the new album “Corridors”.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMahood played guitar and bass, and added a touch of synth and drum machine, and Dybvig played several beautiful solos using synth and piano.
