NME

00:00It's difficult for us to talk about this album, Hyperdrama, because it's been out now in late

00:16April.

00:17We don't really get any feedback really, because we didn't read the press or went on the internet,

00:26so the only feedback we have is from the inside.

00:32And for what it's worth, it's not very accurate feedback.

00:37It's mainly from people we work with, our friends.

00:40So we don't know really how people have perceived it.

00:45We guess that because it's 2024, most people probably listen to a couple of songs here

00:53and there.

00:54We don't really actually know if a lot of people get to play it from A to Z, which is

01:02the way it's meant to be listened to.

01:06But I mean, there's no way really that's meant to be listened to.

01:09People do whatever they want.

01:10But the live show is quite the opposite of the album, in the sense that the live show

01:18is meant to be digestible in one go.

01:25Everything is simpler, more straightforward when we play live, because that's the intent.

01:34We want ideally for our albums to give you new surprises at every listening session,

01:45and also that not everything is meant to be fully legible, that's the word, the first time.

01:53And the live is the opposite.

01:56Even if you don't even know our music or don't really care, it has to be catchy, fun, simple

02:01and straightforward immediately.
