![]() ![]() Thom and I both worked at a record store when we started the band in 2006, we were lucky to have access to so much music for massive consumption. ‘The Midnight Organ Fight’ – Frightened Rabbit ![]() When we were making our first record, we had some of these albums on heavy rotation: But the truth is, the band’s DNA is born from our love of Alternative 90’s music: Bjork, The Smashing Pumpkins, Nine Inch Nails, Massive Attack, Chemical Brothers, and Tricky. Our biggest songs are drenched in euphoric sounding synthesizers, and we’re not afraid of using reverb. It’s crazy to think that our music was a part of the 2010 zeitgeist of ‘indie-synth-pop.’ On a surface level, I get how people have pinned us with those tags. You’ve described your music as being heavily influenced by 80s synth, which bands specifically ignited the fire under The Naked and Famous and instilled that model sound? Hell, the whole world needs progress, and I think it all begins at home. I love how I have TIME to develop and cultivate the kind of progression I’ve been wanting. I’ve spent my time learning how to use Logic, trying to keep my plants alive in my garden, singing more, playing guitar more, reading. My boyfriend is an audio engineer, writer, and producer who has fully immersed himself in that process and, I haven’t quite gotten myself to that stage as of yet. One thing I haven’t fully embraced is doing virtual songwriting sessions with new people. Any boredom I have becomes productive in one shape or form. The only difference is the ‘no new friends’ policy for obvious safety in these strange times. My creative lockdown process has remained the same. What’s your lockdown creative process looked like? Have you discovered different artists or been writing yourself? Or have you simply used this time as a well needed rest from chaotic everyday life? We spoke to Alisa about Lockdown, music and their brilliant new album. The album includes the singles ‘ Sunseeker’, ‘Bury Us ’ and ‘Come As You Are ’. Their fourth studio record, which released only last month, is called Recover. It’s a cathartic reinvention and rebirth for a band that helped trailblaze the synth-heavy indie-pop genre. Ten years on, the group have now become a duo with original core members, Alisa Xayalith and Thom Powers utilising their talents to create a new studio album. The song catapulted the band into the limelight and they gained critical acclaim from synth indie-pop fans across the world.
