As The Cinematics were spending the day in the office, we couldn’t pass up the opportunity have a good old chinwag about their new album, Love And Terror, life on the road and their love lives….

So guys, how has your day been at FemaleFirst, have you enjoyed it?

Scott: I have stars on my face! Which evidently means it’s been a fabulous day! It’s been really nice actually, we’ve been on tour around Europe, from sunny Italy, all the way through the South of France, so it’s been nice to come in, sit down with a real cup of tea and have a chat.

Okay, so the new albums sounds fantastic, what are each of your favourite songs?

Scott: Ooh, I like She Talks To The Trees

Adam: Hard For Young Lovers, it’s the only song I’ve had a part in writing and it actually made me cry!

Ross: To listen to it would be Hospital Bills, but to play live it would be She Talks To The Trees.

Larry: it would be Hospital Bills or Wish (When The Banks Collapse)

Your first single, Love And Terror, received critical acclaim, how did you write it and is there a general theme in the song?

Larry: Well, in the song itself was written as a kind of anti-pop single and we’d already written lots of pop singles on the record so I decided to write this one with a long guitar intro and we sent it to the record company and they decided to make it into the first single!

I think Love And Terror captures how we were feeling when we were writing the album because things were pretty difficult for us and it was a stressful time for maintaining a relationship and I was trying to purse being in a band and maintaining a relationship with my girlfriend and it was hard to deal with pressure from both sides.

Love And Terror is a bit like having someone being in love with you and having people having expectations of you and trying to live up to them whilst still doing something you’re really wanting to do.

Okay, so you’re going to take a break now before going back on tour, what are you going to do?

Scott: Sleep and probably do some more writing and chill out a bit

Larry: I’m going to renovate my flat

Scott: How are you going to renovate your flat?

(a long discussion on how to renovate the flat ensues

about colour schemes, heating etc….)

Ross: I’m going to get over this cold I have and then visit my parents.

Adam: Eat some good food, write some songs and go to some great parties!
