“I wrote the record on electric guitar,” she tells Uncut, “but I play electric like I do acoustic. It’s not gonna be groundbreaking. I’ve managed to resist the EDM!
“I think a lot of this record is about feeling – not consciously, but in retrospect – desperately lost in translation [living in Los Angeles]. I had an old mentor, an American chap, who kept saying to me, ‘It’s a short movie, man’, which I thought was quite funny, so there are lots of Americanisms like that in it.”
The new Uncut, featuring a full set of previews of essential 2015 albums, is on sale now.
