about

"When we started writing these tunes I'd often start with a little musical idea and then some kind of visual story in my head around which we could build something more substantial.

I came up with this little riff on the cuatro sitting on a rocky beach in New Zealand's South Island in 2010 — it's really pretty simple, but I like the way there are a series of pushes in it which suggest the groove for the bass and drums.

The visual idea I had was a dusty well in the centre of a dusty square in the centre of a deserted dusty town somewhere probably in a sort of generic South America. I liked the idea of the square gradually becoming filled with people as the tune picks up and then everyone slipping away again once it's over."
