“I’d had "Oh Boy!" half written for a few years before we got round to recording it. I really loved the first half and had kind of psyched myself out of finishing it. When it was finally demoed early last year, this big sort of chaotic, sprawling word vomit poured out of me that seemed to tie the whole thing up nicely, it’s brimming with joy and misery and sarcasm, all things Girl and Girl.”

"'Cherish’ is a plea for love disguised as a curse against the world, I started struggling with my mental health in my late teens, and the loss of my partner at age 21 - as well as the tumult of our relationship - exacerbated those issues. I was a very angry person, and I went through several years of being emotionally volatile. Both wanting to connect and be seen while being enraged at the state of my life, I would lash out just to make contact with someone, even if that contact was hurtful. To cherish something is to love it for all that it is. The song says everything I couldn't say to my family and friends in that grief-stricken state; I hope it can serve as a reminder that we all deserve to be cherished through our hardships, even when we are at our most difficult to love.”
“We’ve never been heavy enough for metal or hardcore purists, but we're way too heavy for indie rock. We just don't have a lane—and that's okay. We exist outside the lines of delineation. I think this record is even more like that”

We experimented with stretching the limits of Emma’s vocals within a recorded arrangement, which is especially noticeable in the soaring chorus and intro harmonies. ‘All’ of her voices hit the listener as if it were an overwhelming wave of emotions manifesting itself through sound. The funky and more rhythmic approach to the trio of guitar, bass and drums was new to our repertoire, but remained a welcomed challenge. It has provided a certain heaviness and counterbalance to the depth of the vocals that allow one to to head-bang, dance, and sing along all at once.
Check out the tune below:

“I wrote the lyrics and melody to “Memory Man” while driving. It was a bit of a subconscious thought stream connected to what I’d been going through personally at the time. The original melody was slightly different to what it eventually became. It was much slower and had more of a Syd Barrett vibe. Then one day when we were in the studio, David was playing a riff and beat he had recorded but didn’t know what to do with. So, we wondered what would happen if we mixed my melody and lyrics with this kind of really relentless Kraut beat that David had created and that’s how the song came about. Once we knew it would work, we just knew we needed a big robot voice on there, so we put that on and sent it over to Dave Fridmann and he just really liked it and that was that. “Memory Man” was born."
The album was produced by the great Dave Friedmann and is out in May. Check out "Memory Man" below:
"I feel like I had an idea for this music video years ago – way before the song had presented itself to me. One of my experiences as a woman in this industry is having people think I'm there because of a man, or just having people underestimate my experience and credibility."
In this ongoing Monday Series we will be exploring various artists versions of Bob Dylan song's. Today's tune is a cover by Jamey Johnson, Willie Nelson, Chris Stapleton & Lee Ann Womack - "Gotta Serve Somebody"
