There's a major assortment of subjects going on in the new collection. What would it be advisable for someone to who hasn't tuned in to you before anticipate? The huge thing that the collection incorporates on is the new flood of web transformation and the manner by which we live our lives where we're completely associated, and how that influences everybody. Be that as it may, there are an assortment of topics there too. There's a major subject of internet based life fixation and the issues in our general public identified with that. Do you think groups connecting with internet based life is a decent or an awful thing? I wouldn't state it's essentially an awful thing. We're totally associated now. As a band, we can proceed to visit in every single diverse domain around the globe; everybody's conversing with one another and you can develop an extremely extraordinary system of fans, and there's heaps of points of interest to having the option to connect quickly to a worldwide fan base. You would never do that, you would need to proceed to visit each and every region, so as visiting performers it's extraordinary. Be that as it may, for our age who recognized what it resembled before the web and realize what it resembles now, we realize it's never going to be the equivalent until the end of time. So we're the main age who will have seen the two sides. It's a fascinating subject and it'll be intriguing to perceive what the future will hold. Its energizing but on the other hand such a frightening… we don't generally have the foggiest idea where it will go. It just appeared the correct thing to discuss. To discuss the sound of the collection for a moment: you've said you need to bring out the sentiment of an incredible 80's film. What precisely did you mean by that? A great deal of us grew up viewing splendid 80s films. Top Gun, Breakfast Club… simply supreme works of art. A portion of the lovely driving sounds you can get with simple synths, we just got truly into. It kind of sucks you in. It's emotive and we simply needed to get into it. The collection mixes pleasantly together as one, as though it could abandon breaks. Was this conscious? With our first collection, many individuals said it was excessively mixed, and it sort of was. We'd composed it over a time frame as you do with your first collection. It was very disconnected now and again, and we needed to ensure that this one had a feeling that one collection. They were composed sort of together thus they sit well together, and we needed to utilize comparative sounds and comparative synths over all the melodies to ensure they were strong and they cooperated as a collection. You investigate a great deal of contemporary subjects while likewise going for a 80s vibe. Okay say in general you're even more an advanced band or to a greater extent a customary awesome band? At the point when we initially shaped the band we were conventional: there wasn't a great deal of electrical sounds going on. We've generally been a live band so when we go out, we proceed to play as much as possible, so we're all playing guitars and basses and stuff. But at the same time it's taking impact from all the things that we adored from music and film when we were growing up, so I trust it's even more an advanced interpretation of it. I don't consider us to be being a retro band by any stretch of the imagination. We're a cutting edge band that is impacted by specific sounds and gear from those periods. At the point when you see the band live, you can see them really performing with the vitality and the force, and you get the delectable sound you anticipate from that gear and the 80s. What's next for The Ramona Flowers? We're going to complete this visit with the White Lies, which takes us up to December. At that point we're dealing with another track which we're wanting to discharge in March one year from now. We need to return out to America after an extremely fruitful run back in September, we're going out to Japan and afterward we trust we can return to the UK and do a heap of celebrations followed by our own visit toward the finish of one year from now.
