to becoming an otter. I wanted to be<br />
an astronaut, to go up and clean the<br />
moon.<br />
Back to “Veckatimest”, tell<br />
me something about the song<br />
“Cheerleader”, which struck me as a<br />
funny title for such a relaxed track?<br />
We came up with that title practically<br />
at the last minute. <strong>The</strong> song had<br />
literally been finished and we didn’t<br />
know what to call it. We had a working<br />
title for it that was very numeric and<br />
catalogue-like and we had to come up<br />
with something. I think it’s the idea of<br />
someone trying to encourage someone<br />
else to be positive.<br />
What’s the first single going to be?<br />
“Two Weeks”.<br />
What about “Southern Point”? I feel<br />
like that song differs from the other<br />
tracks on “Veckatimest”.<br />
Yeah, that song feels like a monster<br />
with eight heads. That was probably the<br />
last song we worked on in the recording<br />
process and it was very nebulous as to<br />
how we were going to pull it off. If there<br />
were a good idea we’d put that down<br />
and then if there were another good<br />
idea that came along we’d put that<br />
down as well. It sort of just evolved in a<br />
couple of different directions.<br />
Maybe you were celebrating the end<br />
of your recording and composing<br />
sessions…<br />
It’s feels like an overture or something.<br />
Maybe it gets people in the right mood<br />
to listen to the rest of the album.<br />
It definitely resets what you think of<br />
us, being like a “freak-folk act”. A lot of<br />
people called us that and it just seems<br />
like a very unfitting title. Maybe it helps<br />
people to not know what to expect from<br />
us.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re’s definitely a psychedelic<br />
aspect to your music, which is also<br />
something associated with 60ies<br />
rock-‘n’-roll.<br />
Yeah. That’s definitely fair, but the folk<br />
group thing is a bit strange to me.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re are folk elements, but I guess<br />
when I think of folk it’s more like just a<br />
guitar and a voice.<br />
Did you go out last night? I heard<br />
you had a long night out with some<br />
friends?<br />
Yeah, we went out. We ended up at<br />
this weird karaoke bar until 5:30 in<br />
the morning. It was super fun. It was<br />
karaoke the fun way. We had a small<br />
room with a microphone. <strong>The</strong>n in this<br />
other room there was gay porn on a<br />
big screen with a soundtrack of John<br />
Coltrane and Wayne Shorter playing<br />
amazing jazz stuff. At the same time<br />
there was this crazy, raunchy 70ies<br />
porn with these three dudes just<br />
going to town. It was actually fucking<br />
awesome and kind of amazing. It<br />
could have been a psychedelic art<br />
installation. It was just so weird. <strong>The</strong>re<br />
was also a pool table with a bunch of<br />
pillows on top and a sign in German<br />
saying something like “don’t feed the<br />
animals” or “don’t pet the animals”<br />
and we were confused if that meant<br />
something like not to jerk off in there. It<br />
was altogether very confusing.<br />
Kleiner Tipp zur Mix-Tauglichkeit:<br />
Der erste Track Southern Point passt<br />
hervorragend zum Track Hold On, Hold<br />
On von Thief auf Sonar Kollektiv.<br />
