British singer and bass guitarist

  1. You've applied the pressure to have me crystallized—inspired by something my mum read in a paper about how you can have your ashes compressed so hard that they turn into diamonds.

  2. The space in the music often ended up being filled by that person's sound and their signature. We just wanted it to sound like us.

  3. It has an element of finding an old diary from being a teenager. When we recorded that, I was 18, and I'm 36 now.
