statements. From Grunge to Pop it really inspires me visually. When it comes to writing music I am generally inspired visually by photo and film. Mentioning the spice girls is funny as there have been some cases where you have been compared to a cross between the Spice Girls and The Knife, although there is a quite wide spectrum to find yourself in there. Where would you put yourself as far as tying down your sound goes?
You are starting to do DJ sets now. Especially playing at Fred Perry’s night this month. How do you sort out what your wearing?
I have only just started DJing but fashion is part of every single thing i do/ show I play. Although I think I can wear more outrageous shit when I DJ as there is less practicality issues, I don’t have to run round and jump off shit. Although I probably will I don’t know.
Maybe I’m the Wednesday Adams version of Britney Spears combined with Kate Bush?
I do kind of understand that. with my fashion sense and dark music. But when it comes to performance it’s much more rock and roll. For me recently the music I have been making sounds a lot like angel pop, more melancholic. Maybe I’m the Wednesday Adams version of Britney Spears combined with Kate Bush?
When it comes to your music you have collaborated with many different producers such as Alex Metric. How have those collaborations come about?
To be honest Alex and I haven’t worked together for 2 years. We did End of the world and put that out. But it came about as he came to a show and we just started working together literally the next day. I have been working with a lot of people in L.A recently, mainly over the internet. Like I have worked with Blood Diamond and 2 inch punch, just online.
We just talked about producers are there any other acts or vocalists you would want to collaborate with? My dream collaboration would be Die Antwoord as I think they are incredible. Super Cool. I’ve recently collaborated with Brook Candy a killer badass stripper rapper from L.A which has now come out. And I want to collaborate with Micky Blanco but I want to work on my own stuff right now and get everything I want done.
Your have a mixtape which is already out by now. But what was the idea behind doing a mixtape?
For me I like mixes. Previously I’ve done a 25 minute one track. But this one is 8 tracks, some new beats and some of me going over stuff. But I wanted to do something before the album, not quite as a teaser but something that is on the internet. And I always want to be putting stuff out not waiting around. The internet has been pretty big for you. Is it a love hate relationship? Do you want to give back as well as use it?
Well I like it when I get free shit on the internet so I thought I’d give some people some free shit aswell. After this I’m really looking to my album for something that’s real and you can hold as I don’t want to be just a cyber person. This is me doing that for now but I want to show the dramatic twist on that and release a classic album. What’s next for you?
Well My album and my first single from you record which is called “You hahaha” and I’ve recently done the video which I think is the best thing I’ve done as an artist. I felt super cool doing it and I’m really excited about it. But the album is out next year. Words Erin Davies
