"The true story is, me and Tommy wrote 'Female of the Species' for a B-side. We thought the record company were crazy when they said it was an A-side. We thought it was too weird. Lo and behold, as soon as radio stations got it they went nuts. Totally surprised me, to be honest."

"Basically what gets our sound is we see the four of us as a democracy, There's no one leader in the band, so if [keyboardist Franny Griffiths] is into techno, then why shouldn't there be a techno track on the album. I like Sinatra, movies and things like that so that's why I like stories. Andy Parle's into hip hop, so that's why there are hip hop beats all over the place."
