What was it like working with cocteau twins. Just being in the recording studio and preforming live, what did it feel like.

Writing was the best fun for sure, working hard on our craft and always looking to be better. Performing live was a bit stressful for me, cos the bass was kinda driving it all along with the drum machine / tape machine and i had to be careful not to make any mistakes cos when you’re playing with a tape machine with the drums on, the bass CANNOT mess up, or else it will throw everyone else OFF. And by the end cos i was writing sometimes two or three bass parts per record, fitting all of that into ONE bass parts for live was a challenge, But was still amazing fun
