I feel when Damon put his vocals on, and I put my backing vocals on – that’s what makes Blur Blur. Instantly, it’s like, ‘Woah, it feels like Blur’. But kind of extra like males. (…) I feel the voices are deeper, perhaps richer. There’s a wierd vulnerability, however there’s kind of a power. It’s an fascinating thing to be a part of. However extraordinarily constructive. I assumed we have been getting on great – there was a lot of laughing within the studio, plenty of fooling around. We had to chuckle and be foolish as a result of it was intense. You’ve acquired to have occasions whenever you’re just being an fool.
