03Interview

Describe your style in three words?

Poetry versus prose.

The first track you played on repeat? And where did you play it?

The Velvet Underground - All Tomorrow's Parties

15 years old, in my bedroom, all tomorrows.

A song from your favourite album? And what does this track mean to you?

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Hard On for Love - 2009 Remastered Version

"I am a crooked man and I've walked a crooked mile."

A song from your most memorable gig?

Tricky - Makes Me Wanna Die

Coliseu, Lisboa, May 1998. A chaosmic trip.

A song that always gets you up and dancing?

Tim Buckley - Get on Top

The bass, the voice, the outrage of the lyric.

A new song you're listening to? Why do you like this artist?

Big Thief - Orange

The colour, the fruit, the lyrics, her voice.

Best song to turn up loud? And why?

Joy Division - No Love Lost - 2010 Remaster

In a little place only I know the location. Because it's the sound that fills the air there.

A song that defines the teenage you? And the memories it evokes?

David Bowie - Space Oddity - 2015 Remaster

What memories does it NOT conjure up?

An anthemic song? Why does it get your pulse racing?

Cartola - O Mundo É Um Moinho

We live as we dream, alone. And the world just keeps whirling.

Best song to end an all-nighter?

Leonard Cohen - One of Us Cannot Be Wrong

Because it is a perfect song to begin again. Every time. Again and again.
