This is quite a confessional and in some ways embarrassing, well for Brits I think at least,

you know talking about your dreams and your ambitions is inherently embarrassing for a British person, maybe not so much for an American, I don't know.

All of my albums are kind of in communication with each other even if they're sort of repelling each other.

As an artist I think you know some artists spend years

and years sort of like honing their sound and really digging deeper

and deeper and deeper into it and I've definitely done

that at points in my past but over the past five years

or so I'd say I'm definitely more interested in being a bit more reactive to the sounds of previous records

that I've made and And then also just like playing shows, DJing, throwing parties.

It was very constantly within that world.

I felt that I needed to sort of do something drastic to feel inspired personally again.

Well you had a song didn't you?

I think that's the thing.

It wasn't like, oh now I'm going to make guitar music.

You had a song that was a guitar song.

Right.

And that I think didn't make the album.

Oh yeah, yeah, of course.

But that's what I mean.

And then you're like, oh this is quite cool as a song.

It wasn't even really talking about the production.

I think it was just, I like this song.

Yeah.

And then I think we were just fleshing out that idea, not talking about it too much, not right.

Yeah, and then it just became like, oh, this is inspiring to us.

Like, I think we all in ways do have some kind of a history with certain types of guitar music.

Even though I think to some people maybe it feels extremely alien.

I think for us, it's like, it's just another tool, really.

It's not actually that like provocative to us.

Like, oh my god, we're using a guitar.

It's like not like I don't personally see it like that.

It's just like, oh, that's just another tool that we can use in the way that only we would use it.

In my mind, the song is about doing something that feels uncomfortable, that actually is quite jarring and awkward in one way,

but makes you feel something.

Every sort of part of the production I think is sort of trying to emphasize that feeling,

you know, even if you take the initial stuttering guitar, it's like there's something quite anxious in that, but then also something quite propulsive about it.

This is actually what I played initially, which is just this.

And that was one snippet.

I think that's two different guitars, two simple guitars.

Just like going straight into the Boss Superdrive and I think that's the second one.

The first one I think is just a DI into the Apollo, so incredibly simple.

And then I chopped it up into individual sections and if I take off the shaper box you'll see sort of like...

Being drawn also to those moments when I'm not quite hitting it

and finding a weird point where you get a strange attack

or some kind of strange artifact that's in there

and then like leaning into that

and then the final process was just this putting on this shaper box

which then kind of adds this weird time and panning sequencing thing so then you get there

and then that's adding another level of like

because then that's hearing the chops and then adding them in at weird places

so then it's like clicks on clicks

and it just kind of contributes it's this feeling of it being kind of awkward and unsettling in some way.

Like here, for example.

And then, yeah, having this final little snippet produced quite differently.

So then having that one be super stereo and just these kind of things, like trying to break it up and feel it,

make it feel as fragmented as possible to sort of give it that awkward quality.

I think this song did kind of come together in quite a free flowing type of way.

I don't think I sat for a long time labouring over lyrics.

It was kind of quite a sort of flow state,

kind of a song, which I think is cool because this is quite a confessional and in some ways embarrassing,

well, for Brits, I think at least, you know, talking about your dreams and your ambitions is inherently embarrassing for a British person,

maybe not so much for an American, I don't know.

So, you know, it's like there is this element of like putting yourself out there

and saying the thing that is like coming into your mind.

And I think that is really captured in the lyrics

and emphasised by the fact that there isn't really like a clear rhyme pattern.

When you went to record the idea first, I think you just did the whole thing in one take.

Yeah.

Because it was a really very emotional moment to hear it because I hadn't heard it before.

You know, I've got this idea and it was all there, the whole song.

And it was actually, I think we only did like, you know, six takes or something.

And it was they're all complete performances.

And that's something that we carried through the whole album.

Yeah, I was like preserving these performances that you do.

This is a moment where we wanted this to feel like because obviously reflects the lyrics so well.

Like there's that sort of like dramatic step up.

And actually, this was something that Alex had when we were mixing it.

He had this idea to like suddenly make the vocal really, really wide at that point.

And you wouldn't have it.

It's like halfway through a word, I think.

So if you hear the vocal here, this is just Charlie direct.

The other ones in your eyes, but let's be honest, I'm talking about the ones on the pavement.

And then suddenly there's this extra layer.

It's like much sort of weirder and like morphing a bit more and more chorus and panned and stereo.

And then also just preserving quite a jump up in volume as well.

I think we even did that with the automation on the drums.

You'll see here, we just allowed the drums to just jump up in automation here, up six, then up nine again, sorry, up another one there.

So it's just trying to create these extreme volume shifts, I think, is the key thing.

Suddenly the drums feel a little bit too loud you know it's like quite a strange way of mixing

that but yeah then the final thing is just um at the end of the chorus like yeah keeping in

that glitch and keeping in this weird lead static that we have

that we quite liked and actually having the track come out

so brutally to affect that lyric

so by itself i think it's just like quite cute on its own

so nice and then the final thing i'd also just draw attention to i think in terms of like

that feeling of like being quite exposed

and like vulnerable is just how we just drop everything down right at the end to just the bass

and charlie's vocal which is also like really heavily

and quite awkwardly gated yeah i love the gate on this i can be anything i want to be

100

and i can feel like the way the gate is cutting in

101

and and cutting out the breaths in a slightly strange way

102

or cutting off the end of a word or the beginning of a word in an unpredictable,

103

chaotic way, that I think really works really well there.

104

I can be anything I wanna be and I can feel the things I don't normally feel.

105

The beginning though, I feel you can really hear when there's like a breath.

106

Yeah, yeah.

107

I can be anything I wanna be and I can feel.

108

It's like very staccato in a way.

109

The ands slower than it should be and like...

110

I can feel the things I don't know.

111

It's subtle.

112

In the choruses, I think we like, have my kind of tuned vocals lead and then we have...

113

And then we have these very kind of more natural vocals.

114

With no tune.

115

So we did these two left right doubles

116

and this has no tune on it at all and we allowed it just to sort of feel weird and drifting.

117

Very lazy, you know, paired with the kind of anchoring tuned.

118

And then obviously that sounds very different from how exposed the end vocal is, where it's just like...

119

It can be anything, I won't be anything.

120

But imagine if that, like usually you have all these breaths in there and stuff, you could hear the breathing and all that stuff

121

and I think just cutting all of

122

that out gives it a kind of strange uncanny quality

123

or something yeah something quite puts you on edge a bit it's like someone's crying

124

or something you know yeah

125

when they can't like catch their breath it's like that's yeah it's kind of breathless totally we'd filmed the moment

126

because we were shooting that at the beginning of 2025

127

and like I'd had this really amazing experience of working on

128

that film where as a cast

129

and crew we were all like super super bonded Aidan Zamiri

130

who's one of my best friends was the director we'd all

131

sort of like fallen in love with each other in this way

132

and it was the longest time i'd been on set on a film

133

and had felt this new level of feeling inspired

134

which to be honest i don't get as much in music anymore probably

135

because i've been doing it for you know

136

so long now like over 20 years apart apart from when I'm working with Finn of course.

137

But actually seriously though, when I'm working with Finn and Alex, when I'm in the studio generally speaking, I will say I do feel that feeling,

138

but there are other elements of being a musician now that I find less thrilling, let's say.

139

But I think because, you know.. acting is kind of a newer thing for me

140

and being a part of making films whether

141

that be in front of the camera

142

or behind the scenes is like a newer thing for me i do feel this buzz

143

and so i think yeah i had felt that on the moment

144

and i wanted to kind of like capture

145

that in a song you know there's this moment

146

which is super sort of vulnerable and like kind of sparse and then and having these prettier elements with it.

147

Those kind of extreme contrasts, like for example, we have this kind of cute, quite sweet guitar riff sound,

148

and then combined with this higher one,

149

that's like, we sound shifted things up and down a lot to kind of create this grainier texture to it.

150

So if you hear this, this is shifted up very artificially.

151

But there's, it's kind of sounds like a synth is actually a guitar

152

and feels quite fake in one way but has a kind of nice graininess to it.

153

When we were writing we did a lot of the drums just on very very basic sort of 606 kits.

154

Yeah.

155

So we'd almost write to this you know, we'd just be writing to this.

156

Like really really small drums, not even like worrying about how the drums sound yet

157

because the most important thing is just writing the song at that point.

158

There's definitely like versions of all of these songs,

159

especially songs like this or maybe like Wink Wink, where I don't know, there is this like shinier,

160

more perfect production that is like very crafted, like a little more electronic.

161

Even like for example on rock music

162

when we had we initially we didn't have the live drums right it was like doing a slightly different thing

163

which was maybe a bit more sort of i don't know like immediately understandable

164

or something like that and i feel like there's probably versions of like this song where it's like way more

165

definitely 100 we could have definitely like 2015'd out we could have made the sound way slicker

166

and and way neater and better played and better mixed and all those things.

167

Yeah, but then it's not the point.

168

It's just funny to think about.

169

I'm like, oh, what is that version?

170

Like, it's probably good.

171

It's not the same thing, but it's just interesting.

Что такое техника Shadowing?

Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.
