DIFFICULT/WHY?
May 13th, 2009
Dear Katy. This is a question for either Nick or Simon, since they have been a part of every DD album released.What has been the most difficult or frustrating album to complete? Why?

“POP TRASH. Things felt very different without John, although he departed during MEDAZZALAND, he had been part of the initial writing sessions and played on several tracks of that album. Our writing process became very different for POP TRASH, also Simon was having difficulty with some of the lyrics at this time, so I ended up writing more of them then I would have anticipated. We had a new label, Hollywood Records, which proved to be, at best, exasperating. As we did not use a Producer either, it resulted in Simon, Warren and I having to focus all of our ideas whilst not having a clear vision of what we were trying to achieve with the album. Given that background, we actually think the record turned out well and closed that era. NR”
