Frontman Man Garvey mentioned: “We haven’t actually used enjoyable as a motivation earlier than.
“Craig and Pete [Turner, bassist] significantly stored saying ‘as a result of it’s enjoyable’ concerning the songs.”
Talking concerning the horn into of ‘Her To The Earth’, he added: “I walked in on Craig and Pete dancing across the room to it. I used to be, ‘What are you doing?’ which is when the ‘enjoyable’ phrase got here up.
“I mentioned, ‘OK, I can go along with that.’ “
