They took a moment to talk to us about how the album came together.
Hey there Baby Said, how are you? So your album is out now – how does it feel to have it out there?
We are amazing, thank you. Having our album out feels incredible and so surreal. To finally be able to share ‘BS’ with the world and our brilliant fans is very humbling,

It was recorded with Patch Boshell and Steven Battelle in two studios. The first studio was Puzzle Factory in London and the second was at Patch’s studio, also in London.

Do you have a favourite lyric on the album? If so, which one and why?
