00:00Hi, I'm Rhiann Daly and I am backstage at Glastonbury with Jacob from Wonderhorse.
00:09How's your Glastonbury going so far?
00:11It's in its very early stages. I've only been here an hour.
00:15What are your plans for later? Who are you going to try and see?
00:18The usual thing. I usually don't look at the line-up until I'm there and then I turn up.
00:23And usually someone who has a better idea of what's going on will lead me somewhere.
00:27You're playing on the Park stage later today. This comes at quite a big moment for you guys.
00:32Obviously Midas had such a big response to it. It's been massive for you as a band.
00:35What does that album mean to you and the response mean to you as a band?
00:39Well, I'm just glad people were into it. I mean, we sort of took a less commercial route for the second record.
00:45So I think it's a testament to the record that people still kind of stayed with us and were into the slightly newer sound.
00:52Hope people turn up, you know?
00:53I'm sure they will. You put out a new song, The Rope, earlier this month. What can you tell me about that song?
00:58Kind of how that came about?
00:59I mean, I'm trying to maybe write something a little more hopeful these days.
01:03Midas was pretty bleak. So maybe that's a kind of bridge to whatever we're going to do next.
01:07Why are you trying to be more hopeful?
01:09Can't do the same thing forever. Maybe hope's a bit more out of our comfort zone.
01:14I think you should always be a little bit out of your comfort zone in terms of what you're writing.
01:19Have you been working on lots of new music lately?
01:21A few ideas flying around, but nothing concrete yet.
01:25We're sort of just focusing on doing shows and getting that to a high standard, you know?
01:31So that'll all come later, I think.
01:33And you played Ali Pali recently, which is a massive show, sold out months in advance.
01:37How was that gig for you guys?
01:39That was surreal. Sort of felt like it was someone else's gig till the day, you know?
01:42Oh no, we're actually playing it. It was great. I tried to take a minute.
01:47Usually those bigger shows, the adrenaline's very high and you don't really remember much.
01:51So I tried to breathe a bit and then she'd kind of take it in. So I think I'll remember that one.
01:56Thank you for that one.
