exlovers
exlovers have announced they will be releasing their new 5-track EP 'You Forget So Easily' on 14 September 2009 through Chess Club Records. I caught up with Pete to find out a little more...
Hello there, what are you up to?
At this moment I am watching Commando, an excellent film
For those who may not have heard of you, how would you describe yourselves?
I think we are an alternative indie pop band, but it’s hard to say. We get told we sound a bit 90’s, which I think I’m quite proud of. A lot of our influences come from the 90’s, like The Lemonheads and my Bloody Valentine.
So, you're getting ready to release your new EP, 'You Forget So Easily', can you tell us a bit about it?
It’s a five track EP that we were lucky enough to record with Stephen Street. We had a lot of fun recording it and we’re all pretty happy with the result.
There is a lot of competition in the business today, do you think you have what it takes to give the bigger names a run for their money?
Yes..maybe?...
So, if you could recommend just one song of yours for us to download so that we want to hear all of your music, what would it be?
Probably ‘Just a Silhouette’.
We've got to admit you're a little bit cool, so what advice would you give to someone just starting out, knowing what you know now?
Be nice to people, don’t get too big for your boots, and always wear clean socks.
So, if exlovers was an acronym what would each letter stand for?
Every xebec’s languishing ores violate elegant rowing stars
Okay... now we want to ask you some random questions;Tell me about the most terrifying experience of your life.
The FACE in Inland empire
What's the most stupid purchase you've ever made?
When I was 7 I begged my mum to buy me an all in one black and white cat suit with stripes on one half and spots on the other. I skimped around our living room in it a bit and that was the end of it.
Why go to the top of a tall building, only to put money in binoculars and look at things on the ground?
So they can’t see you looking at them.
