The one is known as Transfer. I had a sea of choices on how I may have gone about this solo challenge. I acquired it whittled all the way down to about 15 tunes, all various genres and concepts, and I simply although ‘fuck it’, what’s essentially the most audacious, on the market factor I can work on for the primary single? And I landed on Transfer and constructed it round semi-electronic drums.
I’ve written it about splitting the band up mainly, and coping with the tough choice of telling folks what your soul and coronary heart wants. It’s entire concept is about transferring on and discovering your self.

The best way I used to be taking Scuttlers earlier than, I break up them up anyway publish Covid. Plenty of songs we had been practising however we didn’t get spherical to recording, lots of them are in there.

It’s an excellent drawback to have that I’ve acquired lots of shit to select from, as a result of now with the solo challenge it’s probably not tarnished with a model as such. I can go David Bowie fashion on it and simply launch what I wish to launch.

After all, I feel for the time being, it’s all about getting this tune on the market getting model consciousness, doing lots of Social Media content material, that I’ve acquired deliberate.

After all, all of the boys are nonetheless shut associates of mine, issues like reliance, dependency. inevitably form of semi disappointments include being in a band, and if it’s price it then it’s undoubtedly price it, nevertheless it acquired to the purpose the place I assumed I’ve met lots of nice solo musicians who’re up for serving to me do my solo tasks which can be enjoying with me on Saturday, I assumed I would as effectively go at this alone and change into the grasp of my very own universe, somewhat that ready for the inevitability of one thing going mistaken. I simply couldn’t be arsed with all of the mither.
LTW: It’s like herding cats generally proper?
I’ve simply turned 23 now, I feel I used to be 18 once I began Scuttlers. I began it as a democracy and despite the fact that I had the final say on issues, it acquired to the purpose the place folks had been exercising their rights to not come to observe as a result of they’ve acquired one thing on that I didn’t really feel was that essential.
It acquired to the purpose the place I assumed ‘I’ve acquired the luxurious and the choice to do one thing right here that’s completely mine with the assistance of individuals I can respect and admire and likewise assist them with their stuff’ so it’s like an economic system of soundness that issues are engaged on on the minute.
