Which is a great thing to take yourselves back and to still have that feeling.

And I wasn't even told to say that.

It's just how I feel.

What do you think made you feel like this on this record?

I just love it.

Did you do something in particular that took you back to that initial feeling?

I thought less.

that's good i was less and aaron dessner the producer was is one of our oldest mates and he was really encouraging on this record not to overthink things which we've i think started doing more and more right yeah more records we made and the more toys you have to play within a studio the more time you have to record like the first record we did it in six weeks and that's all we had the money to do like

And having that time pressure, I think, can be really helpful, especially when you've got songs going into the session.

And that's what we did this time around.

Normally, if I hear something that we've recorded back a year after making it, I'll be like, I wish I could have done that.

It'd be like trying to eat a meal that you made a year ago.

And being like, I would have done that really differently.

I kind of regret that choice.

But on this one, I don't feel like that.

I just really like it.

You feel fulfilled, yeah.

Do you write all the time or do you have sort of dedicated writing moments or are you someone that's jotting ideas throughout the year?

If something comes in the shower, which it might, then I'll grab it.

Yeah.
