Glitch Mob as their name would perhaps suggest produce Glitch Hop. Theyre pretty fucking good at it. We caught up with them midway through their American Tour to ask them some unusual Questions since theyve done a lot of interviews lately.
Example: Describe The Glitch Mob in one word:
Glitch Mob:Eargasm
Example: What is your earliest memory of music?
Glitch Mob: That would have to be my mom's Bob Marley records
Example: Who is classically trained, who isn't and how does it effect your production process?
Glitch Mob: None of us are classically trained. We can all play a few instruments and grew up around live music, so music is in our DNA at this point. We all understand and have learned the rules of music composition by trial and error, so when we get in the studio we are very intuitive with our production.
Example: If all three of you were stranded on an island, with no other signs of life, food or water, who would be the first to try and eat the other members of The Glitch Mob?
Glitch Mob: We'd go all survivalist on it and build a raft out of sand and rocks and at least try to sail off the island before we started eating each others' brains.
Example: How have the fans responded to you guys playing live instruments etc. on stage?
Glitch Mob: Some of the fans loved it and some have been disheartened because it doesn't line up with their idea of who we are. Which is fine with us, we're just following our instincts and being ourselves.
Example: Why did you choose to start experimenting with live instruments?
Glitch Mob: We played all of the instruments on our album Drink The Sea. We felt the best way to perform the music was the way it was produced and the way we felt it, which was a very natural progression for us. Although now we're not bringing the guitars with us any more -- we're just using electronics and V-Drums for sake of simplicity. The setup was getting pretty insane.
Example: The governments of the world are backed by private corporations who's soul aim is wealth and power. It's not very good really. If you could make one major change to how the world works, is governed or something else what would it be and why?
Glitch Mob: I think that education is an important fundamental building block needed to bring about social change. It's not a full-scale solution in itself, but it's necessary. In the states especially, the education system needs a major overhaul or we'll be facings some even bigger problems in the decades to come.
Example: Who's music are you currently in to and is there anybody you would recommend keeping an eye on?
Glitch Mob: One of our favorite bands right now Warpaint is just about to release an album, it's fantastic. Also loving the new Eskmo album, Lazer Sword, and have heard murmurs of a new Nosaj Thing record on the way.
Example: What can the people expect in the future from The Mob?
Glitch Mob: More eargasms!
