Back to the day job for the Furries’ latest…
Dafydd Ieuan says:
“On this album, I was trying to lock into the groove, not show how fancy I could play. There’s a song called Helium Hearts, which was one take, where I’m doing a Stevie Wonder kinda thing.”
“The beauty of recording drums now is that we can do what guitarists and singers have done for years. Some songs, like The Very Best Of Neil Diamond, I played the whole take then dropped in a middle-eighth. Sometimes I’d play for 15 minutes then chop out the best bits and pick out the gristle.”
“The whole album was played to clicks. I don’t mind a bit of technology. When you listen to the record, you’re not thinking about how it was made but how it makes you feel.”
