I feel like we both had the same thing.
1:08
Like, I didn't know if you wanted to talk.
1:10
>> No, I missed you guys terribly and I was like, "No, real talk."
1:12
Like, I was like, "Yeah, yeah."
1:13
Cuz you guys had a time and I had a time and then I was traveling and you couldn't and we missed each other and I was like, "This doesn't work for me."
1:19
We've spoken every single project we go way way back.
1:24
>> It was a bit heartbreaking. I know. >> Same.
1:26
and and also cuz the album is so good.
1:28
I'm like, how do I how come I haven't had a chance to talk about this record because of because of what you've created and congrat Zane, how much do you like the record? Tell us more.
1:38
>> Well, you know, you took you took something that if you're lucky, you go through, which is some form of separation heartache and you created a tribute to it.
1:44
uh you know a real journey from from beginning to end of of kind of a playbook in a way of how you get through it and who you get through it with and you know what's good about it and you'll look really happy and healthy and amazing. >> I know. I mean we showered. >> True, true, true. We showered today.
2:01
>> We made sure to be to look nice for I mean I didn't realize that we were the first guests that are >> We went into this fully not knowing anything.
2:09
We just wanted to talk to you.
2:10
>> We don't read our emails obviously. Neither.
2:12
By the way, can we just talk about email culture for for a while? Neither.
2:16
I probably shouldn't say this as a executive at a big company, but I I don't read a lot of emails.
2:21
I It's not that I don't care.
2:23
I just find them really high frequency. >> Yeah. Very intense. >> Texting is fine. >> All All day. All day. I will text all day. >> I can handle text.
2:32
Text to me is just like, yeah, fire them off.
2:33
But I also I'm a I'm a I'm a compulsive like answerer to all emails.
2:38
So if there's an email chain, I feel like I've got to like say something.
2:41
I've got to be like, "Yeah, that's a great idea." You got to pop in.
2:44
>> Oh, I don't have that.
2:45
>> I don't have that at all.
2:45
I don't have that at all.
2:46
>> But that's why I had to stop. >> Okay.
2:48
>> Because I was like, >> you quit. I had to quit. You quit. >> You quit emails. Quit emails. You >> quit emails. Not entirely. >> Full circle. Here we are.
2:54
We started here and now we're here.
2:58
>> Um, I've been living in Los Angeles for 10 years.
3:00
You know, I've known you since before we moved here.
3:01
You were so kind and and remain kind, but you were very, very kind when we moved here and were really cool to me. my family.
3:06
I called you in for school advice.
3:08
Like >> I know what was my first question.
3:10
Tell me tell me where did we land school? >> Where did we land? Exactly.
3:15
And you were just so great.
3:16
You gave me half an hour 40 minutes of just like real honest conversation about where you thought based on what I was saying the kids should go la.
3:21
And LA definitely feels like our home now.
3:25
>> I can't believe it's so exciting. >> 10 years. That's crazy.
3:26
I remember exactly when you moved here and you remember this about Apple Music. >> I remember when Yeah.
3:32
When you were you were like I need to I need to talk to you guys. Top secret. >> Top secret. in LA. New thing happening.
3:40
>> Come to this restaurant. >> I know.
3:41
Yeah, we went to >> You chose the restaurant. I I knew no restaurants.
3:44
You guys definitely chose the spot.
3:45
Where did we I don't know.
3:48
Strange based on Melrose. It's weird.
3:48
I drove past it the other day and looked at it and was like, I think that's where I actually had a beer with Hine that day >> and then asked him to do radio. >> Okay. I know. And then we did. He time. >> Yeah, that's right.
3:58
>> What a time to be alive. Bring it back.
4:01
>> Well, maybe later today to some degree.
4:03
You are kind of bringing back. We are. over reprising our role. Yeah, you are.
4:08
Well, you are taste makers.
4:08
You do have amazing taste in music and you can have both.
4:11
You can make great music and have great taste in music and that's how you meet people who ultimately, you know, collaborate with you to make great Rostm is great. You have great taste. You work with Rost. That's how it works.
4:22
Um, must have been really nice to sort of reprise that again and and felt comfortable to get in the studio and just begin with someone that you know knows you.
4:30
>> Yeah, Rosam's the best.
4:30
He like when it comes to, you know, making a band sound unique, I think when it comes to like, you know, producing and engineering, he's just such a genius with how making organic instruments sound unique, I think.
4:46
And every time I hear something that he's produced >> um on the radio, I'm like, "Oh, this sounds like Rossam."
4:51
Like, you know, in in in a very, you know, cool and not so obvious way, but um yeah, it's amazing working with him.
4:59
>> Kind of unobvious on this album, too, in all the right ways.
5:01
I feel like any of the sort of tendencies for him to rosam it seems to be pulled back a little bit.
5:07
All of you found a new space to kind of let things breathe.
5:09
It feels like there's quite a lot of space on this record in a really nice way.
5:12
And the drums are really essential.
5:14
Like obviously >> I mean that's that Danielleheim sauce right there.
5:18
>> You got that thing, man.
5:18
That thing, you know, when you when you kick in.
5:21
Is that is that your favorite instrument? Real talk.
5:24
I know you can play everything, but it >> it's my favorite.
5:26
And it's also, you know, the way that we write songs is like mostly from drums.
5:30
And I've actually played a lot of drums on Rosam produced songs that I love, like, you know, I I did like the Claro Sophia and Bags um songs.
5:38
I played drums on that on those.
5:42
And I just love playing drums.
5:44
And I love playing drums when Ross Stam's recording them. Yeah.
5:47
>> Cuz he just makes them sound so cool.
5:49
But yeah, we just write songs mostly from drums cuz it's our first instrument.
5:52
I don't want to like gas and yell up, but like there are some I mean cuz ew, we're sisters and ew.
5:55
I don't want to gas my sisters up right now. But baby sisters, no.
6:01
But um no, Danielle's um drum parts on this album were like mind-blowing watching her play drums.
6:10
Like I think on everybody's Trying to figure me out.
6:11
Like I remember the day in the studio where she was just like >> for it felt like hours was just playing different drum parts and mixing it up and it was very beautiful to watch.
6:18
I think Danielle really popped off.
6:21
I mean, I think when you're talking about, you know, the sound of the album, it really was Danielle and Rosam working together hand in hand and um producing this album and I think it's our best album that we've ever made.
6:34
Um, and when I look at it, like it's just I have so much love for this album. Yeah.
6:38
And I Quit has kind of taken on so many different meanings, but I think now when I look at it, I was like, we put every single emotion, blood, sweat, and tears in this album that now when I look at it, I'm like, it feels like such a complete chapter that quit.
6:52
I'm like, that's all we had.
6:55
That's literally all we had was on this record.
6:57
It was like like we're basically starting a new at this point.
7:02
It's the best writing for me as a fan of you and someone who I think I can consider you friends.
7:05
Like it's it's my favorite writing that you've done as a team and it's also I think you know you're right about Danielle and Rostm coming together and making great a great sort of drum track and a great sense of dynamic momentum but it it also gave you all the space to perform at your best.
7:20
Everybody's shown up on this record and like I said it doesn't feel like you feel the need to overproduce everything.
7:25
It's like here is the sentiment of the song.
7:27
Let's give it what it needs.
7:29
Dress it appropriately and let it speak for itself.
7:30
And I I think that that really speaks to the album for me as a fan of it, you know. >> Thank you, Zane. >> Amateur Reviews. >> I love it. Thank you.
7:40
>> No, I I appreciate that coming from you.
7:42
You know, you know how much your opinion means to us.
7:45
>> Well, also, you've known us for so long.
7:47
I mean, I think it's almost been 20 years probably that we I mean, you've seen us from our first album, but I think especially on this album.
7:53
I mean, we've been a band since 2007, and this is the first album that I feel like we were we could take a exhale.
8:00
Like, I feel like it's just been like this like running uphill kind of situation.
8:04
And with this album, we're like, we've we've been in the studio.
8:08
So, we're so confident in the studio now.
8:10
And like, you met us when like Days Are Gone came out.
8:13
We were like little green babies.
8:15
We were like, we don't know anything.
8:17
And now it's like making albums for us is just like, let's get in the studio and do it.
8:21
It's not as daunting as I think it was.
8:23
It also just must be really nice to be able to be a band and not everybody lean into the same narrative, which is just like, aren't they precociously talented?
8:29
Do do you know what I mean?
8:32
Cuz for the longest time when you came out, it was like, I'm sorry, they make what? They're incredible. Have you seen them play?
8:38
They shred the out of everything.
8:39
And it's like, hang on, our experience, your experience has caught up to your ability.
8:44
Your ability's gotten more confident.
8:45
And to your point, now when you listen to the music, it's like you don't have to to to try to prove anything to anyone.
8:52
And that's what this album sounds like to me. >> That's how it felt.
8:54
It felt I think it was uh the this album for sure was maybe my favorite time being in this studio.
9:03
>> Um we had just come off of one of the best tours I think we had ever been on.
9:07
I will say that we had ever been on the One More High tour was like the most mind-blowing tour and we were >> too I mean like really like like getting that so much fun. >> Yeah.
9:15
and get to that space where it's like to get to a point where you realize your audience loves you, tickets get sold, songs get sung, people like what you do, no one's going to take it away from you.
9:25
Did you know what I mean?
9:27
>> I mean, we always think it's going to get taken away from us.
9:30
>> I think to your point, I mean, I think the thing that was so amazing about this album is I feel like our fans always get us. Yeah.
9:47
>> But we knew that our fans were going to get it and it was like the most rewarding experience to be like our fans they just got it immediately and we were fighting for that song for so long.
9:57
I mean it we wrote it so long ago.
10:01
>> Fighting how >> just like no one could understand how to help us finish it.
10:04
I think they were like, "Oh, this song doesn't make any sense.
10:08
Like, you need like there were so many people like, "You need to rewrite the song."
10:11
And we were like, >> "I think it's amazing the way it was."
10:14
Like, it was like one of those songs that when Danielle showed us like the initial demo, I was like, "Oh, there's some magic here."
10:19
And it was like on her iPhone, like she had written it on a plane on her Garage Band. Garage Band. >> Garage Band. >> Thank you. We appreciate her.
10:28
>> Can we get Can we get Garage Band logos behind us? >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
10:31
>> Apple, >> can the Garage Band people sponsor us?
10:34
Let me tell you, >> we've been saying this. I'm sorry.
10:38
>> We've been saying this.
10:38
We've been saying this since our for all of our albums have Garage Band sounds on them. Okay, Apple. >> And no one let it be.
10:47
>> Not one phone call from the Garage Band team.
10:50
>> Let me let me let me just let me just let everybody into a little insight on how work, right?
10:52
It's all it's it's there's a lot of LOLs, but deep down there's a serious like no seriously can connect us to what we're going to what we're going to do is after this I'm going to make sure Garage Band know who you are and what they're doing.
11:02
They will make sure everything's cool, taken care of. >> Thank you, Zane. I just know this. They know.
11:09
>> So, you write this beautiful stream of consciousness on a plane, which is actually a wonderful place to create if when inspiration strikes you cuz no one can call you, interrupt you, text you, or hit you.
11:16
Because what I love about relationships is it keeps getting deeper and deeper and deeper and deeper.
11:19
It doesn't settle into a into a groove or a loop. It's like, no, no, no.
11:23
You're still telling us new things three minutes in. >> Yeah. Yeah. Great. That's amazing.
11:26
I mean, I'm so happy you feel that way.
11:30
And yeah, I think, you know, I think a lot of people, even if they do kind of know us or don't know us and they listen to our music, I think sometimes like in the last 10 years, people are like confused.
11:40
They're like, "Oh, they're a rock band, but oh my god, they make the music that like sometime sometimes they have, you know, a drum machine or drums, but then they rock out, but then they love pop music."
11:52
And I feel like that's something that you really got from us, Zayn, from early on.
11:56
And that's what our fans recognize in us is that you can't really put us in a box and we love you know messing around with sounds.
12:01
So I think you know some people just were like this is to this or this is too that about relationships and we were just like we know our fans are going to get it.
12:09
know our fans are going to get it. It's just interesting to me at this point and I know why because you're always looking for some feedback to assume that every artist that we admire >> even I don't want to speak on his name but like even Frank would like I'm sure
12:23
have people to say >> am I what do you what do you do you know I'm going to send you the song like it's just it's natural to do that >> but it but at some point it's like am I asking too much of people to get what we instinctively get it's not their job to understand what we love >> totally in a strange way, you know. >> That's why we also keep it pretty
12:41
>> That's why we also keep it pretty insular.
12:42
We don't really show anyone anything.
12:44
>> We only pass the we were never like a past the ox band where like people were like showing their songs and be like pass it.
12:53
Honestly, I think the first song that we like I mean we again have been a band since 2007.
12:56
I think we made Forever in 2011. >> Yeah.
13:01
>> And we didn't show anyone our music until like the second that Forever was like we we were never confident enough.
13:07
And I think with relationships, we were like so I like didn't give a I was like, "This song rules."
13:13
And like if you don't get it, like off.
13:16
>> Basically, speaking of relationships, this album was written and recorded during a time of uh ins and outs. >> Now you're back in. >> I'm back in. >> You're back in. >> Is back in. >> I'm back in.
13:28
But this But the record was recorded completely on the outs.
13:32
>> All three on the outsle. >> And then I quit.
13:34
Not that quickly, but sort of quickly. Then met my now fianceé. >> Congratulations.
13:40
This is such >> Thank you.
13:43
>> This is beautiful news. >> He's the best ever. >> Very I'm very lucky. He's extremely lucky. >> He is. >> I I'm very lucky. Extremely lucky.
13:55
>> That is the order of things. >> Thank you. We love him. He's the best. And also, big deal.
13:58
Danielle and Alana like him too, which is >> important.
14:04
I will I will say us all three being single was very fun though.
14:08
>> Oh, it was so much fun. >> It was very fun.
14:10
>> I can tell cuz there are some really fun songs on the record about you all being single. >> Oh yeah.
14:14
>> There's way more fun songs in the album about you all being single than like I'm really bummed out I'm single songs. >> Yeah.
14:18
Well, I'm >> there's a couple of those but predominantly it's like I'm really having fun being single.
14:23
>> I basically just invited Danielle and Essie into like my world.
14:25
I was like welcome babes.
14:27
Been single for like six years. Love it. I love being single.
14:32
What was that experience?
14:32
Was it literally as you see it in the movies where it's like we're all going out and it's like it was in one car.
14:43
>> I don't know if that soundtrack was right though.
14:44
I don't know if it's like you were trying.
14:49
I think that's what it was like. Yeah. Doodly dude.
15:01
I don't have a >> long time since I was single.
15:04
So maybe like 25 26 years ago, it was like and I'd be like, "Hey, what's going on?"
15:11
Which is explains why it's a long time.
15:13
>> It's very much like a W guitar, which we actually put a lot of W guitar in this album.
15:19
>> The most fun guitar to play, but also like very deceptively challenging to make the W for you.
15:25
>> I'm a drummer, so you got to have the rhythm thing. Have the rhythm thing.
15:27
Can you can you can you w too much? >> You I don't think so.
15:33
>> That's a really great question.
15:34
>> I think it's a I think that maybe I don't know. Is can you w too much? No.
15:36
I mean, you know, >> bring the W back. Come on, guys.
15:39
Where who else is going to need to do some >> You know, one of the greatest ws ever is Maggot Brain by Funkad. >> Are you kidding? The best to do it.
15:50
>> I love it because it's it's such a deceptive song, too, cuz when it starts the drums and everything is just like for like a minute and a half and then the guitar's like just like it just like >> takes your head off. Got to be on purpose. >> That was amazing.
16:07
We should start an Apple Music game where you have to you have to voice it from every every instrument.
16:13
You have to be like, >> "Okay, let's do it again.
16:15
Maybe I'll come and crash your show later on and we'll do another one of these." >> You should. There we go. I love it.
16:21
>> Um, you're getting married. This is really big news. Congratulations to him.
16:24
A North Londoner as well. North Londoner. >> North Londoner. >> I know. I got a Brit.
16:29
>> You You caught a Brit. >> I bagged a Brit. >> You bagged a Brit. >> Bagged a Brit.
16:31
I mean, that's where our career pretty much started was in the UK.
16:34
So, I'm really bringing it full circle. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I Yeah. I noticed.
16:38
And also, man, the UK still absolutely loves you.
16:40
I noticed that when as soon as the music started to roll out, you're out there playing shows again, and it's like >> it's the best.
16:44
We got to play Glastonbury, a secret set at the park stage. >> I know. How was that? >> The best.
16:51
>> The first time we played Glastonbury, we got to play the park stage.
16:53
I remember it was it was like kind of like a time warp like I was standing side stage.
16:56
We were like about to go on stage and I physically remember standing side stage when we played Glastonbury the first time and being like how did I get here and I had this same feeling when I was on side stage playing the same stage was like how did I get here?
17:10
like how did I get here? those people that have never been though, what what makes it more unique than say way out west or Bonnaroo or whatever cuz no disrespect to any of these other festivals and even some of them which you could some of them well some of them are festivals most of them are festivals but >> a rest but you know you know wow that
17:30
that cut some of some of them are struggling a little bit you know but in terms of like identity and what they're actually trying to achieve but but Glastenbury is just like it's something really special >> it just always holds on to The music is the most important thing at that festival and you it's just everyone is such a big community there. Like I feel
17:46
Like I feel like everyone is helping each other out.
17:49
Everyone's just so excited to be there.
17:53
All ages doesn't m so many different bands that you can see.
17:55
I mean like it's impossible.
17:57
It's impossible to see all of Glastonbury only going once.
17:59
Like I've been there now.
18:02
How many times we played? Six six times.
18:03
And I feel like I've only seen like 10% of Glastonbury.
18:08
I don't like concentrate one year and like really >> explore the grounds.
18:15
But no, it's like the greatest festival and like also we love the UK so much. They embraced us first.
18:21
And every time we're invited back to glass, I'm like, "Oh my god, thank God. >> We we got it. We still got it."
18:26
Um, but no, I love I mean festivals to us is like it's musician summer camp. It's the greatest time.
18:33
Like festival season the fact that festival season for us is done is really sad, but We're still going on tour on tour.
18:38
We're about to go on tour.
18:40
But I know what you mean when you say that because there is something really special about like going out there and being around in an environment full of your peers and also knowing that when things go wrong, we're going to be fine.
18:49
Like we've done this in all kinds of environments. We're going to be fine.
18:51
Not everyone's going to be fine. You're going to be fine. >> Exactly.
18:54
>> You know, there must have been some times when you've gone on at festivals though and it just could not have gone been more challenging. >> Oh, there's so many.
18:59
I mean, our ears cut out every My favorite thing was so I was standing side stage park stage.
19:04
I was like, "How did I get here?"
19:07
I walk two steps, one ear just goes goes.
19:09
I'm like, "Okay, so I can't this is going to be interesting."
19:17
And it was like comical like we I like changed my ears 15 time.
19:21
It ended up being a whole But that's like the fun thing.
19:23
I'm like, we're a real band. Sorry.
19:24
Like we there's going to be a million different um mistakes that happen.
19:29
The mistakes are the best part.
19:30
Like do you want us to be like robots? Like we're not robots.
19:33
>> That's the stuff you remember for sure.
19:34
I know it's one of those life cliches, but it is true.
19:36
It's the stuff that you kind of get through. I love Take Me Back.
19:41
>> That's that to me is like uh really captures that that time in your life that you're almost scared to go back to because it it draws emotion out.
19:47
It's like I don't know if I can take I can't take it. It's too much. It's too much.
19:53
You know, >> don't you also feel like there's like rosecolored glasses though?
19:55
Like when you look back at that like going through high school, I think for all of us collectively was a nightmare.
20:02
>> But now when I look back on it, I'm like, wait, that was actually kind of >> fun. Yeah. Yeah.
20:06
>> Like going to parties and having people in back of trucks.
20:08
Like >> I did the lyric really jumps out.
20:10
Um it's one of those ones where as you're sort of reflecting upon a life a 1. 0, maybe a 2.
20:18
0, the in the back of the truck story.
20:20
I'm assuming all of it is real. It's all real. Someone just overdid it. Just overdid it.
20:25
You know, she >> high school. High school. What can we say? >> And she's great. We love her.
20:32
>> I don't think you named in shame though, right?
20:35
All the the only two names that are real are my name and my best friend Kane. >> Kane's name is real.
20:40
And then we were like once those stories were out, we were like, "Okay, wait.
20:43
We need to change everybody else's name." We got permission. But >> there's no shame.
20:49
>> No, there's absolutely no shame. It's all good things. >> No, for sure. For sure.
20:50
It's just a term, name and shame.
20:52
And it almost always applies to in the back of a truck when you take too many drugs.
20:57
But but that being said, in this particular case, we're not shaming.
20:58
But there's somebody out there who definitely knows it's them, >> right?
21:03
Like they may not be named, but they definitely when they maybe they put the him song on and were like, "Oh, this is cute."
21:10
And then it gets to that lyric and they're like, "Damn, you know what?
21:14
It was honestly like that day in the studio making that song like talking like talking about even going back to like how amazing making this album felt was like that day in the studio, we were all so collectively burnt.
21:26
It was like middle direct middle of the album.
21:29
We had like I've told this story before, but like we had like 16 songs that were like half done that like Rossin was like, "You guys need to finish these songs."
21:36
And we were like, "Fine."
21:38
And we like came in the studio and we were like, "We don't want >> Yeah.
21:41
We want to keep making new songs.
21:43
>> We want to keep making new ones."
21:43
And and Danielle kind of started with this drum pattern and we and I think we like kind of Rosam was like, "We're not starting a new song today. We're not doing it." Bless his soul.
21:51
Like honestly, Rosam Rosam has to be the grown up in the room.
21:55
He has to be the grown over in the room because we'll just keep writing until you know like we I mean we can we can write for forever sucks.
22:03
>> Finishing the song sucks. It sucks. I hate it. But we had to do it.
22:06
But then that day he was like fine, we'll start a new song.
22:09
And we were just it was like a day that started out when you were like we were like couldn't get out of bed.
22:13
I was like I can't go to the studio today.
22:16
And then it actually turned into us like cry, laughing, just talking about the craziest that we did in high school in that time and like mentioning streets that we would, you know, parking lots and streets and all the all the good things that were happening in the valley.
22:30
And it was, it was a very special day.
22:32
It's like one of my favorite days was making that song.
22:35
>> Yeah, it's a really special song.
22:35
And also being like one of the most prominent and well-known modern artists to come from Los Angeles, it's really nice kind of getting that vibe. And >> it is Zane.
22:44
Now that you've made album number four and now that you know life is kind of settling into this whole new space of like oh life with the band, it's not just about the band. >> Do you feel a change?
22:55
Does it feel different to when you started?
22:57
Do you feel like you have to adapt to life in a slightly different way as you as you move as you continue to commit in the band?
23:04
>> I think it's I mean obviously we're you know in different times of our lives and we're doing different things, but I think it's extremely exciting.
23:12
I mean, if if anything, I'm like, when I tell you how excited I am to go on this tour, like touring is where when we made this album, >> like even hearing Take Me Back, like we haven't played that one live yet, like >> that is like my world.
23:26
Like touring and I think it will forever be my world.
23:28
And I think both all three of us can say that like touring to us is like we could do, you know, go off and do adventures, but like the one high that I will never get rid of is being on stage and playing live.
23:42
Like when I'm 80 years old, like please God, let me please keep playing live cuz like if that part of my life ever started, I would stopped. I would be heartbroken.
23:52
I wouldn't be the person that I am.
23:53
Like we started as a live band will always be a live band.
23:55
Um and the thought that tour starts so soon. When does it start? September 4th. >> September 4th, baby.
24:04
And we're starting in Philly where my mom's from.
24:06
And it's like coming home.
24:09
It just like that's where we're meant to be and and I am so excited. I'm like ready to go. >> Yeah.
24:16
>> And we want to just keep making records.
24:18
I think that's like the the long and short of it.
24:20
I think it's just that we want to just keep it's I think we we recognize that it's such a blessing that we get to do this. We're really lucky. And so we want to tour.
24:30
We want to tour as long as we can and then just keep making songs and keep making records.
24:40
>> That's the that is the absolute point.
24:42
Like I because I started again recently and my friend was like, "What do you want to do with it?
24:45
Like you going to putting in the matrix and the frequency like you know you going to do what you promote?"
24:50
I was like, "No, no, I want to make 30 things." >> Yeah.
24:54
>> Like but I got to make one. >> Totally. Yeah.
24:56
>> To make 29 more, right? It's true.
24:56
And it's and it's like the whole point is just to feel like you can create. >> Exactly.
25:04
>> What a beautiful life >> and keep doing that. >> Yeah.
25:07
>> And that's all I think that's all we want to do.
25:09
>> And then and then life I think the thing that we're to your point finding the footing is like how do we manage how do we find the balance between the life stuff and still doing the thing that we love so much and creating that balance.
25:23
And that's a dayto-day >> process. That's called life. >> That's life.
25:26
And that's and but you know depending on what's coming up, what's popping up, health stuff, like it doesn't you know you you just kind of have to take it >> day by day and try to learn from everything.
25:39
And that's all we're trying to do is like okay let's make sure that like we're giving enough attention to like this magical band that we've >> created and this music that we've cultivated, but also paying attention to like our friends and our family and our relationships and watering those things.
25:55
Well, I still can't cook.
25:55
Like, I need to learn how to cook a meal for myself. I can't cook.
25:59
One thing I can't cook, you guys. Danielle lived with me.
26:06
And now I'm like really feeling I literally And also, as I said, I can't cook. I like stuttered.
26:10
Like, it's like a it's like a big thing for me.
26:12
Like, I really just trying to limit the mockery cuz I can tell this hurts. >> I know. It hurts me.
26:18
I'm like, I need to learn how to be an adult.
26:20
No, please mock me forever.
26:22
It's insane that I don't know how to cook.
26:24
Danielle lived with me while we were making this album and she cooked me like beautiful meals all the time.
26:31
>> And now she's gone and now I'm like I don't know what.
26:34
>> Can I Can I give you some kindness? >> Yes.
26:35
>> I think it's a I think it's a wiring thing. I can't either.
26:37
I think it's it's a timing thing.
26:40
>> I'm the person that goes in there and I've like got big plans and then 30 like maybe 25% into the process like something will be slightly burnt and I'm just like dad. >> I know. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
26:51
>> I think it's you guys.
26:51
You got to practice throwing the pots away and stuff.
26:54
>> I think I'm just the kind of person that if I'm not like naturally good at it, like I can't do it.
26:57
Like I need to be perfect at it.
26:59
Like I have to perfection. You know what I mean?
27:02
>> I think that's a high trait.
27:02
We don't do that we're we're not good at. We don't want to do it.
27:08
>> I >> You could at everything. You guys both can cook.
27:12

28:40
Can I ask you some random questions cuz sometimes mine are a bit boring.
28:43
What was um who's the first person that you played anything to off this new album? Anything. First Thomas Anderson. >> Oh my god.
28:51
He's He's literally like a spiritual guy.
28:54
>> The second time I dropped his name in this interview. No, he's the best.
28:56
I mean, he we for the last three albums, he's the first person that we showed music to.
29:03
He's just the greatest sounding board.
29:05
Like he was helping us with um track order.
29:06
I mean to be fair like SD you bought me my first like my first CD when I was 14 was the Boogie Night soundtrack which is so good the greatest soundtrack of all time.

Like he knows every song.
30:26
It's He's a perfect >> I'd love to meet him.
30:30
If I connect you with Garage Band, would you connect me with Thomas?
30:33
I feel like that's much easier for you than it is for me.
30:36
I feel like I'm doing a much heavier lift here.
30:39
Like me calling up Sharon like, "Hey, can Estie come get bowling lessons?"
30:40
is a little harder than you calling up Uncle Paul and being like, "Hey, can you just talk music with this annoying Kiwi for 5 minutes?" >> Oh my god.
30:49
No, it's just he's I mean, he's It's no secret. We love Paul.

32:11
>> We also got you a cake.
32:16

32:20
>> I got real and you were about to You were slammy with the cake. You wanted I begged you. Do you remember?
32:23
I begged you cuz you had a gig after. >> I begged you.
32:26
You were like, "No, no, we're going to throw this cake in your face."
32:30
>> Well, there was a thing in my car on the way to the interview and you were live and you were talking to a sassy gal.
32:36
You used to be so sassy, let me tell you.
32:40
>> You were talking so much >> You were like, I'm going to pick better songs than her.
32:44
Like, we I don't know these girls. >> Hang on.
32:48
This is an interesting addition to the timeline.
32:49
Does that mean you stopped halfway and got a cake? Yes.
32:50
You actually pulled over into like we went to >> Tesos and got a cake.
32:58
By the way, man, those cakes are freezing.
33:01
Do you know how cold they to keep those cakes?
33:04
If you'd thrown anything in my face from Tesco's, I'd have gotten like freezer burn. >> I know.
33:08
Zane, we did we we did versus >> We did a versus battle of like picking up.
33:14
But you had a gig that night and we were like, "Zay, we're going to smash your head into this cake."
33:19
and you literally on your knees like I don't have another shirt.
33:23
>> I don't have another shirt.
33:24
>> I don't have another shirt.
33:25
>> This wasn't this was for on air.
33:25
And then as soon as the mics went down, I literally said no one else in the room could hear this.
33:29
I was like, "Please do not throw this cake in my face.
33:31
Like I got to go and play in leads and I do not want to do it covered in Tesco cream.
33:36
I cannot show up like this.
33:39
>> I cannot show I mean maybe I could.
33:39
It might have been legendary, right?
33:42
>> Like very I don't know.
33:42
Andrew WK, >> we had to never forget your first time. >> You guys first. >> It's true.
33:53
You never forget your first.

34:09
>> We're going to keep doing it. >> Yeah.
34:10
You've been there every step of the way. Awesome.
34:14
I'm going to ask every artist that comes in this room this question because I think it's going to make a really really fun thing over the course of time. We put it all together.
34:20
It could make a really lovely kind of almost Smithsonian type person.
34:24
So, I'm going to put you on the spot.
34:26
Um, if you could as a band think of one artist that's that's a Hall of Fame for you that that goes in the Hall of Fame. And I know it's tough.
34:33
It doesn't have to be the only one, but one artist that the three of you can all agree on would be >> Oh, just one or do we each get one? >> Do we each get one?
34:40
I think maybe let's just do one as a band. >> We huddle. >> Wait a second. >> Wait.
34:46
And it could be any artist. >> Yeah, any artist.
34:48
>> Yeah, I feel like we already know. I think we know. >> Do we all know? >> Should we all say it? >> 3 2 1 >> Prince. Oh, >> Prince. Thank god I paused. >> That's really smart. >> You know what? >> One more time. 1 2 3 Prince.
35:03
Were you going to say Joanie? >> Exactly. >> It doesn't matter.
35:08
Americans, we're going to say Prince. >> What is Prince?
35:12
>> Essie, just so everybody knows, Essie mouthed the words, but I wasn't didn't yell and Essie had a moment and I it I just had sister panic.
35:18
Okay, so that was that was a crazy moment for me.
35:22
>> I think you played it beautifully, by the way. >> Thank you. I'm an actress.
35:26
>> I know when to not speak. That's how we learned. >> I'm an actress. You forgot the hand.
35:33
You've got to put the hand up. >> I'm an actress. I'm an actress. Thank you.
35:37
>> Thank you very No, that is a good that we would put Prince in the O of course. Of course.
35:41
>> What does Prince mean to him? Oh my god.
35:44
>> Prince was probably one of the first people we all >> cumulatively agreed on.
35:49
>> I became obsessed with I think at the same time.
35:52
>> Underrated guitar player.
35:52
Let me tell you, underrated.
35:56
>> The greatest guitar player, greatest producer, greatest performer, songwriter, like all around just >> amazing performer.
36:02
Like he dances, he he while he plays guitar.
36:05
I mean, he's just like, >> how many times did you get you got to see him live?
36:10
>> I think I saw him as How many times did you see him?
36:12
I probably saw him like I saw him about 15 times. >> Yeah. Amazing.
36:15
I saw >> we saw him at Coachella so many times.
36:19
>> I think I saw I've told this before in the air, but I I think I saw his last show with the band because his last tour was with the piano, which I didn't get to see the piano. Yeah.
36:25
But in 2015, just before he left the UK, I got to see him play a charity show and it was it was just the set list was just mind-blowing.
36:32
It's just never just incredible. >> He's everything.
36:34
I mean, I remember when I heard the news that he died, I had to pull over.
36:39
I was on the 101 freeway.
36:39
I remember exactly where I was. I heard it on the radio.
36:43
I pulled over and was balling.
36:46
And we had like a meeting and I called in and I was like, >> you were in the studio with Dev. >> No, I wasn't.
36:50
I was on my way to the studio, right? You never knew.
36:55
>> I was on my way and I had to call and be like, I'm going to need a minute. >> Yeah.
36:58
>> And I sat on the side next to Universal Studios and just bald.
37:01
could not was inconsolable.
37:05
>> I had a couple of moments like that.
37:05
You know, getting planes always the worst when you're in the air for 10 11 hours and then you land and go found out about Mac. That was really sad. >> I can't. So sad.
37:16
>> But with um with Prince, we were on the air. >> Yeah.
37:19
JJ, our mutual friend JJ. >> Yeah, JJ. That's right.
37:23
>> He I'll never forget it.
37:23
He pulled the laptop in front of me and and he said, "Okay, I'm gonna It was really thoughtful.
37:29
He goes, "Okay, I'm going to refresh this page, >> but I just need to let you know that like what you're going to see >> is really really intense, but you need to know."
37:38
And he refreshed it and it was like D and it was like Prince >> and we we weren't necessarily allowed to play the music because the the the state hadn't released the streaming services, >> right? >> Forgot about that.
37:51
Totally forgot about but I called my boss at the time and said, "Look, what can we do?"
37:55
and and he said we will make good >> and we will make sure that it is all taken care of.
38:04
>> So we got to play for two hours.
38:04
We got along we got an agreement from from everybody involved to play the music for two hours and then it went back to us and then we made good.
38:12
>> So yeah I mean it was that was a crazy one but like one of I think that to me is the greatest show I've ever seen.
38:17
>> Oh insane >> hands down.
38:20
>> The fact that Prince played Coachella is still insane to me. Like what? It was so crazy.
38:25
