<\/a><\/p>\nSince the first album how do you think you\u2019ve changed?<\/b><\/span><\/p>\nFay: <\/b>As a band we\u2019ve been playing together for 3 or 4 years so we\u2019ve got a lot more trust in each other\u2019s things. We all do our parts kind of separately for this album. I\u2019m speaking so slowly I\u2019m sorry I\u2019m so tired!<\/span><\/p>\nAyse<\/b>: Don\u2019t worry I\u2019ll do it! Naturally we\u2019ve changed a lot because we\u2019ve been on the road constantly for over two years. The most important thing we\u2019ve learnt I think, to trust each other and be patient in all aspects of the word, on stage and when we\u2019re touring. On stage when we\u2019re experimenting with sound and ideas we just trust each other to know what we\u2019re doing. But there\u2019s loads of things! That\u2019s just off the top of my head after immediately coming off stage.<\/span><\/p>\nHow was that show for you?<\/b><\/span><\/p>\nAyse: <\/b>It\u2019s really hard to answer that because every show is unique and we try not to think of it in that way. People have paid to come and see us and we try whatever obstacles we may face on stage or sound wise people have paid so we always try and give 100 percent regardless of what\u2019s going wrong on stage. The audience were awesome, it was a fun show it could have been a lot better for us but it\u2019s just the nature of these things.<\/span><\/p>\nSince you formed\u00a0Savages it doesn\u2019t seem like you\u2019ve had a break?<\/b><\/span><\/p>\nFay: <\/b>Between finishing touring and starting to write again for the new album we took a month off and at the time it seemed like a huge amount of time because we had had no more than five days off for two years really, it was just constant. So taking a month off seemed so luxurious (a month! What can I do with a month\u2026 write an opera) you have all these grand ideas and a month was really short in the end. In hindsight I would have taken a bit longer just because resting is important. <\/span><\/p>\nLots of bands get bored of what made them successful, do you look at Silence Yourself<\/em>\u00a0like that, are you eager to play new songs?<\/b><\/span><\/p>\nFay: <\/b>Not massively, I don\u2019t think we wanted to go too far away from the first album we\u2019ve got a new album and I guess we wanted to make a progression, not throw that away. And we\u2019ve got some interim songs like \u201cFuckers\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\nAyse: <\/b>For the first record it was weird because that was a snapshot of what we were at that moment so we were trying to capture what we had been doing live for a year or so. With the second record we had space to experiment and do something a little bit different, sonically and lyrically. It felt like the second record was a progression of what we had learned over the past two years. We always try to challenge ourselves with different projects just to keep ourselves interested and always learning new things so we don\u2019t get bored, because playing the same songs can get tiresome but that\u2019s the nature of the beast.<\/span><\/p>\nDid you expect with the first record to have commercial success as well as cult following?<\/b><\/span><\/p>\nFay:<\/b> Did we?! Success is different now because people don\u2019t really buy records anymore. You don\u2019t just get successful and buy a house. It\u2019s not a life changing thing, mainly we\u2019re really lucky that we\u2019ve never played to an empty room and we\u2019ve never done a show that\u2019s not been busy and had a great atmosphere, And for that I\u2019m really grateful. To me that\u2019s the successful thing and we\u2019re lucky but life hasn\u2019t changed that much.<\/span><\/p>\nAre things like charting important to you? Is that a measure of success to you or is that just a nice little addition?<\/b><\/span><\/p>\nAyse:<\/b> A nice addition I think. For each of us we all have our different ideas about what is success and if we\u2019re able to keep making music over the next five or ten years that will feel like more of a successful thing to us.<\/span><\/p>\n
