Blue Sky Noise

In an interview with Noisey, Anthony Green talked a bit about what the band set out to do with the album:

Specifically, we were thinking, ‘OK, we’re gonna be a full-time band, and we’re on this major label, whose job it is to sell records and make bands big so they can keep making money off of them,. So let’s try and make the coolest psychedelic punk record that they’ll let us put out’. That was our goal.

When asked if he thinks they achieved their goal:

Totally. I love that record, but my wife had two miscarriages during the writing and recording process, and I also was briefly institutionalised after having a mental health crisis. I was abusing drugs and alcohol and I knew that was a problem, but I wasn’t addicted to heroin yet – I was a party boy, y’know? I was just unstable and I felt like I wanted to make a good record for the band, but also didn’t give a fuck if anybody liked it. My natural feelings were to just do what I like, so it was weird for me and I didn’t know how to handle it.
