ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Its been five years sinceBlood Pressuresreleased.
When did you begin working on this?
So I decided to take the trip and use the time to write.
That was the start of the record for me, Siberia.
This many albums in, is that getting harder?
MOSSHART: I suppose we always try and move into an uncomfortable realm at first.
You make it hard until hard gets easy.
Inspiration comes from everywhere.
I dont ever run out of it.
Sometimes I loathe what some things inspire, but theres room for it all.
If youre open, you receive a lot more than you know what to do with.
Does that apply to discovering new themes as well?
Thats important to me to get the thing rolling.
With the lyrics, its more a case of finding my way, really gradually.
Thats the hardest part for me.
I punish myself quite a bit with lyrics.
It drives Alison mad, actually.
I think she thinks Im self harming my own brain or something.
Were you surprised by any themes that emerged?
Its an honest record.
What do you hope for peoples listening experience once this album comes out?
HINCE: I hope they can see that electric guitar music is the future!
That its not stuck in the past, or nostalgic.
I hope it makes them want to dress up and start a guitar band.
And join our gang.
