Ok, so you incorporate what you’ve been doing into your
shows?
Yeh I work that way because otherwise you sit down and think
‘what am I going to do for this show’ and you’ve got this blank
page, but if it’s more of an ongoing thing it works better.
What kind of music are you listening to right now?
I’m quite interested in that new Metronomy album that’s coming
out (ed: ‘Nights Out’ was released 8th September), just by
listening to a bit of that on MySpace. I think they’re Brighton-
based, they’re a kind of dance act.
What is your lasting impression of Glasgow from the show
you did at Recoat?
Haha, my lasting impression? It was very cold and... no, it was
really fun. It’s weird because my family is from there so just
round the corner from were the gallery was (Recoat Gallery, 323
North Woodside Road) is where my Nan used to live so I have
these childhood memories of hanging around there. When I
first got there I thought ‘that bridge looks really familiar, but
I’m sure all the bridges look like that in Glasgow, no wait I do
know that bridge.’
That is strange, so I suppose you’ve come full circle.
Yeh I guess.
Have you felt the need for any more Buckfast since being
here?
No, I haven’t actually. Maybe if I need to power some sort of
engine or something I might... but drinking it? I’m not sure
about that.
Haha, fair enough. So tell us about the more interesting
things happening in your area of London just now?
What’s interesting, that’s a really good question... There’s all
sorts of interesting things happening in our studio, but I don’t
get that much further out, haha.
So you are pretty trapped in there?
Yeh, once you close the door it’s like London’s gone...
Much of your work is arguably quite political, how do you
view the current political climate here in the UK?
I am not sure I want to get into politics too much, but it seems If you would like to know more about the beautifully surreal world of
