Initially recorded as an early-hours demo last year the band began to flesh out the track with with long-time producer Alex Greaves, “Me and Joe [Vickers, guitarist] broke off during one of the sessions and took an interface and my laptop and recorded some of his guitars by a pool table that sits near The Nave’s kitchen,” explains bassist and synth player Jordan Smith. “I then restructured them, taking loops and fragments to create a more ambient and granular underpinning.”
“The bare bones, use what you can method that we had maybe neglected felt like it had come back into how we were writing, and ‘Three’ feels like us all uniting to support what Ryan had been going through. It’s maybe not a track that people would expect of us, but it was very cathartic to process what had become a lonely and isolating experience together for the first time in a long while.”
“It was written as a warning to myself, but hopefully others will find their own meaning in it,” concludes Ryan. “It is me at my most honest. I’m very proud of this track and I’m glad it’s seeing the light of day.”
