00:00So before this interview started, he goes, shit, you're Billboard.
00:03It's like, shit, yo, wet leg.
00:05Like, come on.
00:06Three Grammy nominations after already winning three before.
00:09How do you feel walking into this night?
00:11Yeah, it's nice to be invited back.
00:13Always nice to be here.
00:15The weather's been crazy good.
00:18And London has been so depressing recently, so, yeah.
00:21So you're here to have a good time, Ben.
00:22Oh, yeah.
00:23And I mean, it's time.
00:25Nice.
00:25And then I love that you guys are nominated for the first time this Best Album Cover Award.
00:29How does that feel to be nominated for something that's never been, you know, awarded before?
00:34Yeah, it's really cool.
00:35Honestly, I was so excited about it when we found out that it was like a new category
00:39and that we were nominated for it because it is just like the visual world is so important to us.
00:45And so, yeah.
00:46Yeah, really, really excited.
00:47And I want to know, what do you guys feel like makes a great album cover?
00:54That's kind of like, I don't know.
00:56And it's hard to explain the magic of, I think, anything, really, sometimes.
01:03But also, sometimes it's not.
01:04So, yeah, that doesn't mean anything.
01:07Like I said, nothing.
01:09You did word salad to me.
01:10You word salad to me.
01:11But it's okay.
01:12I'm going to follow up with this.
01:14When you were creating the album cover, what thought did you put into it?
01:17What was the inspiration there?
01:18Nothing to do with me.
01:19So, I knew that because of the album's theme, so kind of like love and emotional intensity,
01:31I kind of wanted to, you know, create this aura of femininity, but then subvert it.
01:40And see, to capture that in an album cover, that's why you got nominated, okay?
01:46And then I feel like, what's coming up next for you guys, other than you getting a tan this week?
01:50What are you guys working on?
01:52Well, we're just about to go to New Zealand.
01:55We fly to New Zealand tomorrow, so that flight is going to fucking suck.
01:59Because we're going to be really hungover.
02:00But, yeah, it's going to be fun.
02:02We're doing, like, some New Zealand festivals in Australia, Japan, and then back to England for the Brits, I think, yeah.
02:11So, very busy.
02:12Stay rested.
02:12Stay hydrated.
02:13Three nominations tonight.
02:14Good luck out there, everybody.
02:15That's right.
02:16Thank you so much.
02:17Of course, of course.
02:17Thanks.
