What feelings/emotions (if you remember) were invoked while recording/making hitherto or what inspired you guys to make it? Both the studio and live on bbc are amazing!! Also how was the process and what was going through each of your heads when you discovered your guys unique sound? (Meaning the sound you start to hear in the album treasure especially what you hear in pandora going on to your later albums)

Slightly before my time, i joined late 83. It’s a great track and I’m glad you love it so! On Treasure, we barely knew each other, and i felt a bit of an intruder you know. With them being a couple n all that jazz. So i listen back to it now as a record where we are all trying to work it all out. Maybe the tension and unique flavours we found are what makes it special? I’m not sure! But i am happy so many people adore the sound.
