According to Chaz: “It’s a lot more expansive and ambitious than the first album – less like ‘Summer’ and ‘Bastardo’ and more like ‘Where I’m Calling From’. There’s more instruments, strings, brass, all sorts. It’s really posh sounding. I hate comparing it to other people, but I suppose it’s like early Kate Bush and Mercury Rev.”
As for Ash, she’s kind of missing them, but not really.
“I never had to worry about who was organising what because it was always taken care, so it’s scarier going my own,” she reflects. “But I love it because it’s more real somehow and very liberating too. Anything could happen now. It’s like a coming of age in a lot of ways.”
