Josh Macintyre Marmozets

Math-rock drum prodigy returns with more pocket!

Has the songwriting process changed much since the first album Weird And Wonderful Marmozets?

“There was one point where we were thinking about it too much, but that was really early on, there was just so much stuff that happened in between, family stuff, a lot of tough stuff. As soon as we got our flair back, there was one song that we wrote and from that it came really smoothly. We try to keep the same routine because, you’ve got to have diversity and for a band it’s great to keep the creativity flowing and keep it fresh, but at the same time I think too many bands think too hard about it and try to change their routine or what they’re doing as a band, and it can go really wrong. Especially this being our second album – the one that has such a stigma for so many bands – we just wanted to keep it as we like to do it, get in a room, write some songs. There were a few things we’ve never done before like writing stuff from one side of the world to the other, sending stuff over to each other, a few of the songs on the album were written in different parts of the world!”

How did your approach to recording differ this time?
