Kamil) Hey Snakedoctors, super nice to have the chance to chat with you. This is the third time I'm interviewing you. How would you summarize the last several months?
A lot of recording done. Having a new album out in May. Already working on the next one. Many collabs with new guest artists featured and with those we worked with previously.
What’s your strongest memory of your childhood?
Music my father listened to - mainly the Rolling Stones, the Animals and the Beatles.
Your latest release is 'Brighter (feat. Nik Hughes)'. Can you share with us the background of its creation and did any unusual things happen during its creation?
In October we had nearly 20 songs to pick from for a new album. Then we recorder “Waiting” and all changed. We put all those songs away and included only that one and songs recorder after. “Brighter” was the second one. It all took time from October of 2022 to March of 2023. We managed to involve Nik Huges again. And Stephen Marcussen who mastered “Brighter” and most of the new album.
Can you write something about the creation of the music video? Are there interesting anecdotes?
All of the filming too no more than 1.5-2 hours. As always spontaneous with script and shooting itself. Our lead actress filmed her part in a separate location. At ours we had a lot of fun doing the video.
How do you stay up-to-date with the latest musical trends?
Probably we don’t. We listen to a lot of music - including new stuff but still keep that old traditional grunge and new wave routine.
What do you feel is the best song that you have ever released and why?
The best one is probably on the new album to arrive. So far the best one was “Close that Door” which did very good for an indie band.
Why do you want to record and release your own music?
We love it. It’s fun to create music. Like the best hobby you can possibly have.
Please discuss how you interact with and respond to fans.
When we play shows it’s a direct contact. We maintain our social accounts and the website. Our main message to our fans it - listen to what you like, try also our music and do what makes you happy (as long as it doesn’t make others unhappy)
Do you think it's easy to become established in the music world, or is it difficult?
Difficult. Hard work. And it seems all place are already taken and managed by the few… But trying is the way…
What can I wish you regarding your career and private life?
Private one - happiness as it may be sometimes rare to find. And peace for all of us. Career - musically so we can continue that great journey. Else - just have enough to make the living.
Thank you for a chance for this conversation and all the best for you and the readers.
