Danny McNamara - Embrace
Q: Did you expect to collaborate with Chris Martin and how did it affect you?
They initially hesitated because it felt like an override by a bigger star, but ultimately accepted the collaboration, which brought broader exposure and shaped the album's sound.
Danny McNamara - Embrace
Q: What was the impact of embracing new technology and DIY approaches?
The band discusses how modern tools and the internet enable artists to reach audiences directly, reducing gatekeepers and allowing more intimate, real recordings; they emphasize the value of authenticity over polish.
Danny McNamara - Embrace
Q: How did Gravity come to be part of Embrace's repertoire?
The song was proposed by Chris Martin after an initial discussion, and despite some hesitation, the band decided to give it a go, which ultimately helped define a new era for the band.
Best of the 00s with Battle/The Mardous/Dustin’s Bar Mitzvah
Q: What would a band like Battle sound like if it started today?
They suggest the frontier would be about living in the present, embracing new ideas, and not feeling locked into past sonic signatures, while balancing art with the demands of promotion and revenue.
Eva Petersen - The Little Flames
Q: Was the album delay something that affected you personally or more as a band?
The delay felt like a missed opportunity during a crucial touring phase; the band believed the material had momentum and potential that wasn't capitalized on due to label timing and master variations.
