“We didn’t want to just make a good record, we wanted to make a great record,”
says Reef vocalist Gary Stringer. “We were writing the songs for
two and a half years, road-testing them when we were on tour. We’d play four or
five new songs every night, really watching the crowd. If their eyes glazed over or
they went to the bar, then we dropped those songs! But if a song engaged with
them – a melody they can hook into, a guitar riff – then that was a real pointer for
how we went about it. Hopefully that’s helped make the album is as strong as it
is.”
“Recording in Ireland was really special,” adds guitarist Jesse Wood. “It’s always
been a magical place for me and we spent a few great weeks there with George. I
already can’t wait to make the next album!”
“It’s a better world with Reef in it, their love for life and music is infectious,” says
producer George Drakoulias. “A real privilege to be on this journey with them.”
