I am pretty hard on myself when it comes to being satisfied with new material, I am always trying to push myself. He is a seasoned pro and it really opened me up to this way of working. The session for “Some Minds” with Andrew was one of the most natural I’ve done. Sometimes its quite odd, even uncomfortable as you have never met, writing music is a very personal process for me. I still enjoy working remotely but have also done a bunch of sessions with people in person. On the first album I had only worked remotely with singers sending files back and forth over the internet. I finished it off with the crazy ending further down the line, a few months later. We recoded it then fleshed out the lyrics of the chorus and verses. Andrew was writing things in his own head, singing ideas into his phone, I played the song over and over then after about an hour he jumped up and said ‘stop’ and launched into singing this amazing chorus melody. “I started the instrumental at my apartment in Sydney – first working with the drums and arrangement, then built chords around it, did some vocal bits as sketches before meeting up with Andrew Wyatt from Miike Snow in his studio in New York City. The infectious track features Miike Snow’s Andrew Wyatt and is accompanied by an eerily beautiful video directed by Clemens Habicht.
