So we were вЂњAlright, weвЂ™re gonna be a cover band for a couple of monthsвЂќ. The songwriting had improved but when we tried to play them, we were at the same level musically. As musicians, we want to improve for this next record. We were like, вЂњokay, letвЂ™s just put all those songs on holdвЂќ. I was a bit nervous to be back in Berlin and our studio is a lot smaller. There was a little hesitation because it was so nice in Australia, and a few of the boys really prefer living in Australia, I would say. And we also talked a lot about what we could do to live with the concept. Everyone was becoming a lot more open and talking about their songs and what they meant. There wasnвЂ™t any date yet and it was just like, no pressure. And it was like, вЂњAlright, itвЂ™s album timeвЂќ. We were all living in this house in the rainforest that we rented for a couple months and set up all the instruments. Everyone had sent in their demos into a big folder, and we were listening to them. We were in Australia, and weвЂ™ve been working on songs. Those were honestly some of the funnest months. What were some of the epiphanies you had during those sessions and how did they impact the record?ДЄS: Oh, man.

MF: You and the band went back into the studio to вЂњre-learnвЂќ how to play your instruments. So itвЂ™s a little nod to people to listen to them separately. So when you open it, you actually end up getting like two albums. WeвЂ™ve just received the records and we made sure that there were actually two separate records put in the same plastic sleeves. If you try and listen from start to finish, I think itвЂ™s too much (laughs). So if you buy the record, weвЂ™re recommending people to choose one and listen to it and then like the next day, choose another one. MF: So they coexist but can also stand independently.ДЄS: ItвЂ™s funny actually, we realised itвЂ™s too much to listen from start to finish to both of them because, to us, there really are two albums. We wanted them to stand together and kind of talk about similar things but from different perspectives. We didnвЂ™t want it to be like a pop album and then some ambient, experimental record.

We didnвЂ™t ever want one of them to be more significant than the other. From the start, we had these environments in which we wanted the songs to live. It wasnвЂ™t like we just had too many songs and we were like, вЂњOh, letвЂ™s put out two recordsвЂќ. So we had the idea of two bands that formed into the idea of doing two records that were opposing but also complemented each other. And Parcels, the really dark, heavy one.вЂќ Imagine if it was like Parcels, the light and fluffy one. So there came this idea, I think Jules was the first one to mention it because we were at a gig at Coachella and, and he was like, вЂњImagine if there were two bands. And although thatвЂ™ll always be a part of us, we love that вЂ™70s groove music, we love the light and fluffy and kind of feel-good parts of the band, but as soon as thatвЂ™s like the box youвЂ™re in, youвЂ™re like, вЂњAh, get me out of there!вЂќ.

And as much as I love disco, we donвЂ™t want to just be a disco band. And for our first record, it was like, вЂњOh, theyвЂ™re a disco bandвЂќ. How did that idea come about?ДЄS: We landed on it because of problems that we always have, where as soon as we do something, it seems like people want to be like, вЂњOh, thatвЂ™s what they doвЂќ. MF: The album explores the concept of dualities. So IвЂ™ll be very excited when theyвЂ™re out. And I just prefer listening to records from start to finish. IвЂ™m worried that the singles donвЂ™t make sense without the context of the music around them. I think with this album like we really created an album, or two albums. MF: Yeah, I can imagine that must be a surreal but exciting experience.ДЄS: When theyвЂ™re out, it will be huge. ItвЂ™s like a ball has to start rolling again when all I wanted to do was talk about them. Now itвЂ™s this weird, emotional or mental thing where we suddenly have to talk about them. So I think my excitement for them was when we were finishing them, you know? Then itвЂ™s like months of meditating where weвЂ™re not allowed to talk about them. How are you feeling now that the world is about to hear it?ДЄnatole Serret: IвЂ™m not freaking out yet. Music Feeds: The band has described the creative process for вЂDay/NightвЂ™ as an emotional one.
