interview russell (il parle)

LiveDaily: Do you feel a lot more pressure working on your second album?
Russell Lissack: Um, I don't know. We're trying not to let it bother us. The first record was a lot more successful [than we expected it to be]. There is a lot of pressure to do the same again. We just want to make the music we want to make. We'll try not to get crushed by the pressure.
Are you looking forward to your US tour?
Yeah, yeah I can't wait. It's going to be a very good time.
It must be a big change going from playing large clubs in the UK and small clubs in the US.
We were playing smaller clubs last time. This tour, we're going to be playing bigger clubs. I'm not sure how big the places are. I hope the one in New York is going to be quite big.
Why did you decide to go with a remix album? Was it to tide fans over to the next album?
I think it was more done by people we really like. It seemed like a good opportunity because a lot of them weren't enormous here. They were good remixes. We had nothing to do with them. It seemed like a nice way to put them all together.
So these were remixes that had already been done and you decided to put them on an album all together?
Yeah, yeah. A couple had been released as B-sides over here in England. I think most of them, nobody's really heard before. I guess DJs had heard the stuff. But most of them had been unreleased. It was quite a nice idea.
Have you started your next album?
Yeah, yeah, we've been quite busy. We've been recording. On the last tour we didn't have much time. We popped into the studio in between festivals and recorded four new songs. We've been writing a lot. We're touring now until the end of the year so we probably won't [complete it soon].
How does the sound of the new material compare to the previous release?
It sounds a bit more polished, I guess. I don't know if that's a good thing or not. I don't know if that's a good word. It definitely sounds like songs from previous things. We're writing so many songs, so I don't know where we're going. I think they're going to be bigger than they were before.
So it's a natural progression?
I think so, yeah. We wouldn't want to repeat ourselves. That's the way things are going.
What is the songwriting process with the band?
Kele writes all the lyrics. Sometimes Gordon contributes here and there. We do all the music between us. We just had a rehearsal today. We went back to the studio where we used to practice before we were signed and stuff. That was quite nice.
That must have been neat to go back to the old studio.
It was kind of nice. Doing our little thing again. Ignoring all the craziness.
