Album Focus: Fourplay String Quartet

Answered by: Peter Hollo

Album title? This Machine

Where did the title of your new album come from? The title track is about how to break out of being cogs in the machinery of industry and capitalism.

How many releases do you have now? Five studio albums, plus a remix album and three 3” singles.

How long did it take to write/record? We wrote it over a series of two-three day weekends over a few months, then we recorded it in five days and mixed over another week or so.

Was anything in particular inspiring you during the making? We listen so widely and gregariously that everything ends up inspiring us but nothing specific.

What’s your favourite song on it? We like a different one every time. We’re really proud of the whole album.

Will you do anything differently next time? We always do everything differently every time.

When and where is your launch/next gig? 24 Oct, Caravan Music Club and 25 Oct, The Toff In Town.
