“That’s the main reason why it’s taken a lot longer than we thought it would to make this record. Is that indicative of the creative process as a whole? In the band's recent YouTube series, we see you tinkering away on songs in various green rooms and backstage areas around the world. If we want to make a song with a big emo chorus, then why not? We’ve been in that world before with songs like Drown, but it feels fresh and it’s exciting for us to make.” Just from a creative point of view we try to keep it interesting, and there was a chance to make some poppier kind of music on this record. Bands often go through phases, and that’s the same with a lot of bands that I like – there are times where I don’t vibe with certain stuff. I just think that’s not a good recipe for a long and interesting career.
If every song is trying to appeal to 80-90 per cent of your fanbase, you’re going to end up making a lot of the same stuff. I’ve been in the band for 10 years now and the band’s been going for a long time, and you kind of realise it’s okay to have moments that aren’t for everyone. The aim is to make something that we think is cool and that we haven’t done before. “I think it’s better to not think about it at all. Do you get a thrill from subverting their expectation and making something they didn't think they'd like? We’ve all got very broad tastes and I know that can be annoying for fans who really like the heavier stuff, but it’s not all that we like.”īMTH will always have fans who just want the heavy stuff. When you’ve been working on more rock-y stuff sometimes it can feel a bit boring, so you want to find some different sounds. It’s just sometimes you fancy a different challenge. I’m involved in the writing of all the music, whether it’s the heavier side or more melodic stuff, and it’s the same with everyone else. “It’s not something I’m craving, I kind of like it all. I don’t know why you make what you make, it just comes out.”Īs someone who really focuses on the electronic and production side, do you relish working on those indie-synth sounds? I feel the verse is a bit different, it’s kind of indie-sounding to me, like The Strokes or some pop-indie vibe. You hear a band do a song that sounds exactly like Deftones and they’ll say they were listening to a lot of Glassjaw or something else – just say Deftones ( laughs). I think you’re not meant to talk about your influences – people usually say everything except what it’s obviously influenced by. The chorus in particular has that big, emo, My Chem influence. I can imagine this song being a popular song in a rock club.

It’s been a bit challenging working out how to do heavy-ish stuff on the record that doesn’t feel necessarily ‘metal’ heavy. You don’t want them all to sound the same and you want to be confident in your conviction of going all-in on a style. The fourth one is where we want to explore the more heavy stuff, so in a way it limits how much we want to go heavy on this one. We’re working on four Post Human records and we’ve been working on them all at the same time one of the reasons why it’s taken longer is that we’ve done stuff for the third and fourth ones as well. “We’re on a journey of doing different types of records, which we set ourselves up to do thinking we’d get through it really quickly, and it hasn’t panned out that way for a number of reasons.

It’s interesting that you didn’t choose to drop a heavy song considering you’re headlining Download next month. It was either that or do something slightly heavier, and we’ve got some heavier stuff coming on the rest of the record, so it felt like a good thing to drop now. Both Die4u and sTraNgeRs are more like ballads, so doing something a bit more upbeat and fun was cool. It’s a bit more fun and upbeat compared to other songs we’ve done. That’s kind of one of the themes of the record musically, it goes a bit more there compared to the other two.
Compared to DiE4u and sTraNgeRs, it’s very emo-y feeling. That’s part of the reason, I know it’s not a particularly artistic one, but catchy songs end up being singles. Usually on the singles we’re looking for something that’ll help people who don’t necessarily like our band – or know our band – engage with it. Why did you pick this song as the next song to put out there? LosT is the first new music from Horizon in almost a year.
