I think they're a little shocked at first. . . . Then they start laughing or grinning or shaking my hand,

We were very aware we'd made a record that was quite unusual,

We wanted to make a record that sounded like we do live, ... We sort of stripped away a lot of the production of this record and tried to make it bare bones.

We discussed it in an adult fashion over dinner one day and since then a burden has been lifted from everybody and our live shows have been incredible.

We always swore if it wasn't 100 percent fun we'd stop it. So that's what we've decided to do. It was important for us to say 'we're tired, this is becoming hard, we should stop right now,

We're taking a hiatus, ... I don't know if we're calling it a day.

We just wanted to make a record that sounded cool. So we stole from hip-hop, we stole from techno and blues and mashed them all up.
