"It kind of evolved out of playing solo shows in London. I had these songs that I was planning on making into a solo record, and I wanted to start performing on my own. I had this loop pedal since I was 17 years old, and it was kind of a bedroom hobby. [The pedal] was something to muck around with when I was writing and I would always end up with these lush, layered loop things. When I started playing solo shows, I realized I could introduce [the loop] into the shows, and I could start pushing the boundaries for what one person could achieve onstage.
The drums came into it a few shows down the track. I had a big loop going, and the band I was supporting had a drum kit, so I felt like the loop I had going needed some sort of groove. So I went and got on their drum kit, and the crowd came three steps forward, and I realized I was onto something."
