I feel when Damon put his vocals on, and I put my backing vocals on – that’s what makes Blur Blur. All of the sudden, it’s like, ‘Woah, it feels like Blur’. However type of more like males. (…) I feel the voices are deeper, perhaps richer. There’s a wierd vulnerability, but there’s type of a power. It’s an fascinating thing to be part of. But extremely constructive. I assumed we have been getting on nice – there was numerous laughing in the studio, numerous fooling around. We needed to snort and be foolish as a result of it was intense. You’ve received to have occasions whenever you’re just being an fool.
