The Death of Her Money
On how they started off and how they almost didn't have a new album... How did the band form?
to pieces when we found out our album had gone. Luckily it all turned out good in the end, the files got We started The Death Of Her Money in 2004, we were already a band since 1 997 but with a different sound that recovered by some genius who knew how to save lost files. Thank you computer geek. was more Hardcore influenced, we were at a loose end with the band and ran out of ideas with what we were doing at How does it differ from debut LP "Spirit of The that point, we just started slowing down and making our Stairwell"? sound heavier and more hypnotic, we jammed allot more I think it's less experimental than the first album, it's kind of and were more focused with our sound, we felt like we more straight up heavy music rather than strange riffs and needed a fresh start so we ditched all our old songs and wrote a completely new set of songs and a name change quiet parts, we were playing allot of shows around the time of writing “You Are Loved� and I think playing with allot of was required in our minds. "riff" bands had seeped into us and we ended up writing this more "metal" album. What was it like recording "You Are Loved"? It was not a very good experience compared to our other What are your favorite song on "You Are Loved"? recording experiences up to that point, in the past everything went so smooth but on this album we had lots of difficulties I think "Enguelades" is one of my favorite songs personally, it's quite melodic in parts and it seems to constantly build with getting the right sound and also having studio and build right up to the end. I love playing "Truth" because technology problems. We finally got everything recorded with a vibe that we were happy with so when we go to do the it's so hypnotic and big, I like the shoegaze elements of sound in that song. The one song that came out on the final mixing session we turn up to the studio to find that record better than I'd hoped was "Tonality Of Despair", everything had been erased. It was just a horrible sinking maybe just because of the piercing nosebleed feedback at feeling that we'd worked very hard on getting this album the end. sounding good and then it all being sent into audio heaven by some sulking external hard-drive that I wanted to smash
Are you planning in releasing live videos?
We would really love to get involved with making a music video, we haven't had any thoughts to make a live video, we have some films of us playing at shows up on various websites, none that are good enough to release but to make a full music video would be great for us.
What are your favorite albums at the moment and what are you looking forward to? Well I can only speak for myself but at the moment I am listening allot to "Environments" by Machine Code, I love how bleak and robotic this album is, very heavy in all ideas of the word, not just in electronic music. Another album is the Young Widows album "In and Out of Youth + Lightness", it's a great album!
Would you like to come to Portugal?
We would love to come to Portugal one day, it's not really somewhere many bands we know seem to play, maybe because of the cost of getting there in a van due to it's geography being right at the bottom of europe, we do aim to tour mainland Europe next year so if we got asked to play in Portugal I'm sure we would jump at the chance ...
