- JACK ROGERS

Around two years ago, the ‘Kaliyuga’ cycle started for you. How does it feel to be at a place now where you are expanding on it?

“Yeah, it’s an odd one. When we first recorded these songs and laid them all out in front of us, it felt like dystopia. They aren’t negative as such, but a lot is going on within them, and at that time, they just felt like Kaliyuga. It felt like we were living in Kaliyuga. So the three songs that we are releasing just now were written around the same time, but we have since had the chance to go back, flesh them out and add a bit more to the narrative. But the truth is that I hadn’t listened to the record in a long while, and I had to relisten and reawaken what it is in me to be able to play shows, and it felt really good. It feels even more relevant now than it did two years ago, which is a really interesting place to be.”

What was the immediate feeling that washed over you when you listened?
