Me and Igor had stayed in this studio for hours, we had a lockout so we were there from 10 in the morning on the first day, until 10 in the morning the next, and we wanted to stay longer. This guy was like ‘Go home! Please go home!’ I think when we’re in something, it can probably be quite destructive for people who lead actually sociable lives.”

“Is it possible to ‘sell out’ anymore?

“It was really funny. I was so angry, and needed to release something, it was like..hrrrrrrrrmph. The whole thing was an explosion. I literally hadn’t thought about the consequence, of what people might think, or anything. Which I know is quite weird, because it is so different, but because it was what I was doing at the time, it really felt like what I’d been doing every day. It was hilarious… ”
