Can you introduce yourselves? Troy: I am Troy from Chokebore, I sing and play guitar. John: my name is Jonathan from Chokebore, I play guitar. Can you tell us about Pale Blue, the label for this album?
Seems to be pretty cool. Do you know if there are others bands to be signed on this label? Do you have a distributor in the States? Are you really more successful in France and in Europe in general than in the States? We were doing really good there and then we came to Europe for the first time and we loved it so much.
And we just stopped playing over there. Can you tell us what happened during the recording of the new album? Troy: well, it was very different. The other albums, we would go into the studio and do everything one time instead of staying for a week, stay there and live there, and not think about anything else.
But this time we were in Los Angeles, it was a bit harder to concentrate. What matters is how it sounds. And I think it sounds pretty cool. The other stuff was probably mixed a little more indie, because everything was equal, voice was lower, drums were louder. This is a little more like a triangle.
It becomes mechanical if all you do is going there and repeat the same process each time. What do you think of your first albums now? Motionless, Anything Near Water…. Troy: there are some good songs in there. Good songs and bad songs. It seems strange sitting around your house, entertaining yourself at your own music. Troy: I think we got better at writing songs. Troy: you should answer that. John: because we came up with this title. John: no, no solid reason.
