The band also spoke with NME about their plans for their second album.
Keyboardist Aurora Nishevci told the website: “I guess there’s some pressure when we approach the second album, but I don’t think we’re focusing on it that much. We’re more excited because our first album was ages ago. We recorded it ages ago, about a year before we actually released it. Since then, we’ve been so nonstop playing shows and stuff that it’s exciting to be home and writing because that’s what we’ve been doing since we were kids. We were creative little weirdos, so it’s nice to get back to that place. It’s exciting.”
“We haven’t worked out a concept for it yet, but we know that aesthetically we want to differentiate ourselves from the first album, both in terms of our clothing and in the world at large.”
