‘I got sick of no one taking risks….the agents had stopped taking risks, the labels had stopped taking risks, the gig-going public had stopped taking risks…for this reason I wanted to make something that people wouldn’t be able to classify or understand right away. It might baffle them a little and hopefully shake them into remembering that you don’t always have to colour inside the lines. otherwise I wouldn’t have bothered taking a year out of politics.’
