I didn’t ask him directly if he’d be interested in producing me. What I wanted to do was play him the [music] I had and I wanted some honest counsel. It was the dream scenario for me, because after about four songs he turns around and he says, “Would you like me to do this with you?” He got it. He totally got the music from the demos and totally got the feeling of what I was trying to do. And I think he got excited as well. He saw the potential.
I’ll tell you what happened. After the Radiohead tour, I played [my album] for some people and they didn’t like it. I was really taken aback by this. It was potential record companies and things like that. Some people liked it and some didn’t like it. I listened and realized that I didn’t like it either and I had to take ownership of it.
It’s really interesting. I’m very interested in art and the creative process. There’s something about taking full ownership and having no fear and just doing it. I’m in early days [with my own career], but I’ve obviously been a part of a few successful records over the years, and they’ve all taken a long time. It’s always that moment. Once you know what it is, then you can accelerate.
I always felt like the right album opener. It’s up and it’s positive and fearless. For me, I love South America as a continent. There’s a magical realism to the life there and you find it in the writings of the great South American writers, people like Gabriel García Márquez. I was trying to find that place in music as well, that has depth and color and is slightly psychedelic in parts.Yeah. That’s a song of two parts. The first part, the acoustic part, is very much written in Wales.
In spite of all this discomfort and unknown and uncertainty, there were very profound moments during each performance — maybe not the first one, but the subsequent four or five where I thought, “Okay, this is the right place to be. This is where I need to be. And this is where I need to be for the foreseeable future.”
Very interesting listen EOB
