"Failure", last track on the album
Was, predominantly, written on an iPad
I remember this is one of the tracks that
Katie convinced me that the iPad was definitely
Something we should use more for doing our writing
And it's a great system where you can, that
You write all your chord, and put them into blocks and
Don't have to worry finger-playing anything
You can just have them on blocks and
Concentrate on your melodies and stuff like that
So a lot of the chord progression you hear in "Failure"
Comes from the iPad's arrangements
That then we dumped onto our Pro Tools
We're huge fans of pop music and
We-we wrote insanely poppy melody on this song, which we love
But we want to find a way to subvert it
So it wasn't as sickly sweet
But still kept the real popness in the melodies
So, we decided to write a song about failure
And embracing that
And celebrating being an absolute failure and waste of time
We wanted to keep the album to nine tracks
To make it feel quite a classic
And, so now we're on album three
What's become really empowering about the way we move around
Being emburdening on the second album
Meant to soften first album, a bit from the third
It wasn't a blueprint
It wasn't an idea when we started a band
That we're gonna take those types of trips
And split the album over those different territories
Is something we feel we have to do for inspiration
What to kinda almost start again is
One of the things that we love of being a new band
Is being the underdog
And starting fresh with something completely clean
And, this album is different sounding to the second
And the second album different sounding to the first
It's something that we really adore
We hope that, we can get to some-
Maybe five or six albums
That we can look back and
Each album is going through a different stage of our writing
And what we're inspired by
