B.B.
The lead single ‘B.B.’ is rooted in imposter syndrome and self-reassurance. Can you talk about how that song came together and why it felt like the right one to introduce the EP?
I wrote B.B. about how I was feeling when I first moved to Leeds. I won’t go into it, but it’s about feeling like a fish out of water and feeling jealous of those who seem to adapt easily. It really sums how I was feeling at the time and is one of my favourite songs I’ve written. B.B. was also one of the songs that was transformed the most when I brought it to the band. It sounds pretty empty and in my opinion lacklustre without the banjo, violin, and bass, and so with those additions it really transformed it sonically. It was also the first time Ludo, our usual drummer, played the banjo with the band, and I’m pretty sure performed with the instrument, so the song just felt like a great opportunity to showcase what we can all do in the band. I think it sums up our sound well.
