It was an amazing moment for us, our nerves were calmed and we had a great time. We’ve done more scoring work since for Comme, Byredo, Alyx and some others, it really pushes us to be more deliberate about the colors and moods we’re creating with our music in general. It’s something we want to keep developing – the drama and emotion in film scoring is really inspiring for us.
What is the new material about?
Lots of things, but mostly about the internal world we all carry around with us. The push and pull of the mind, other people, relationships, the struggles of living, love…all of this is wrapped up in our music. There are normally a couple of layers of meaning there to be uncovered. It’s something that people can immerse themselves in and make it theirs…create their own story if they want. Or just enjoy the sights and sounds.
This is not the first time you’re working with Jordan Hemingway, what else did you do together?
The first time we worked with him was the aforementioned Paris fashion week show. During the pandemic we’ve worked on his campaigns for Comme des Garçon Rouge, Byredo, and an Alyx ‘runway show’ that was shot on an active volcano, off the coast of Italy. He also shot and directed our latest video One by One.
What are your plans for 2022?
We have more than an album’s worth of material to release – but we’re just figuring out the right way and place to do it. It’s our best work yet, so we want to do it justice release wise…as much as we’d love to just put it all out there right now, it deserves better than just haphazardly shoving it out into the world. Plans should be finalised soon, but the one thing for sure is that we’ll have something bigger out this year.
