I guess that\u2019s the reason why you didn\u2019t rest on your laurels and you kept working on your new album after the Mercury Prize.<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>Yes, I think that\u2019s still fair to say we like things a bit in a struggle. If we wanted things to be easy we probably wouldn\u2019t make the music that we make.<\/p>\n<h5><strong>For &#8216;White Men Are Black Men Too&#8217; you moved from Edinburgh to Berlin. What did this city bring to the album\u00a0?<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>Don\u2019t know, I haven\u2019t really seen it\u00a0! (laughing) We went from one basement in Edinburgh to another in Berlin which was colder and better. Maybe the songs are a bit faster cause we were trying to keep warm. Apart from that, we never really ventured in the city. Most of the songs were written before we went to Berlin. We went there to get away of the distractions because we don\u2019t know anybody in Berlin.<\/p>\n<h5><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"border: 0; width: 100%; height: 120px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=996500018\/size=large\/bgcol=333333\/linkcol=e32c14\/tracklist=false\/artwork=small\/track=4023756474\/transparent=true\/\" width=\"300\" height=\"150\" seamless=\"\"><a href=\"http:\/\/youngfathersofficial.bandcamp.com\/album\/white-men-are-black-men-too\">White Men Are Black Men Too by Young Fathers<\/a><\/iframe><\/h5>\n<h5><strong>T<\/strong><strong>he album deals with religion, racism, social norms. Music is often said to have charms to sooth the savage breast, do you agree\u00a0?<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>Yes but we also use it in different ways. We wanna make nice pop songs, we wanna be included in that world so that people don\u2019t see us as some strange, weird righteous group that\u2019s over there. Pop should be diverse, it should include everyone. For us the best way to achieve that is to translate our ideas into pop songs rather than point a finger at people and say \u00ab\u00a0you\u2019re wrong, you\u2019re a bad person because you do that\u00a0\u00bb. It\u2019s never gonna work. If you talk to someone it\u2019s always better than shouting at them, and if you sing to someone it\u2019s always better than talking. (laughing). People listen to and maybe sing along and then later realize what it means\u00a0!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sodwee.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/01.jpg\"><img  decoding=\"async\"  data-attachment-id=\"23709\"  data-permalink=\"https:\/\/sodwee.com\/blog\/2015\/07\/itw-young-fathers\/young-fathers-portrait-2015-paris-michela-cuccagna\/\"  data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sodwee.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/01.jpg?fit=1200%2C1012&amp;ssl=1\"  data-orig-size=\"1200,1012\"  data-comments-opened=\"1\"  data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;5.6&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;Canon EOS 5D Mark II&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;Young Fathers.Portrait 2015.Paris.Michela Cuccagna\\u00a9&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1434220597&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;Michela Cuccagna\\u00a9&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;28&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;100&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.005&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;Young Fathers.Portrait 2015.Paris.Michela Cuccagna\\u00a9&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\"  data-image-title=\"Young Fathers  &amp;#8211; Portrait 2015 &amp;#8211; Paris &amp;#8211; photo by Michela Cuccagna for sodwee.com\"  data-image-description=\"\"  data-image-caption=\"\"  data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sodwee.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/01.jpg?fit=640%2C540&amp;ssl=1\"  class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-23709 pk-lazyload\"  src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABAQMAAAAl21bKAAAAA1BMVEUAAP+KeNJXAAAAAXRSTlMAQObYZgAAAAlwSFlzAAAOxAAADsQBlSsOGwAAAApJREFUCNdjYAAAAAIAAeIhvDMAAAAASUVORK5CYII=\"  alt=\"Young Fathers  - Portrait 2015 - Paris - photo by Michela Cuccagna for sodwee.com\"  width=\"100%\"  data-pk-sizes=\"auto\"  data-ls-sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\"  data-pk-src=\"https:\/\/sodwee.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/01-940x793.jpg\"  data-pk-srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sodwee.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/01.jpg?resize=940%2C793&amp;ssl=1 940w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sodwee.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/01.jpg?resize=300%2C253&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sodwee.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/01.jpg?resize=620%2C523&amp;ssl=1 620w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sodwee.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/01.jpg?resize=330%2C278&amp;ssl=1 330w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sodwee.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/01.jpg?resize=690%2C582&amp;ssl=1 690w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sodwee.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/01.jpg?resize=1050%2C886&amp;ssl=1 1050w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sodwee.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/01.jpg?resize=652%2C550&amp;ssl=1 652w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sodwee.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/01.jpg?w=1200&amp;ssl=1 1200w\" ><\/a><\/p>\n[separator type=&#8221;space&#8221;]\n<h5><strong>You describe yourself as a Pop group but it\u2019s a genre that is strongly despised because people think it\u2019s associated to The Voice or Britain\u2019s Got Talent.<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>It\u2019s actually the majority of people that\u2019s why we find it more important to say that. You can shoot yourself in the foot by saying you\u2019re hip-hop or if you apply yourself to any genre, you can really damage yourself. People think Pop is corny and cheesy but for us it\u2019s not. Pop has a great rich history which maybe has lost its way and maybe we\u2019re the last ever pop group to really do something that is not clich\u00e9.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?url=https%3A\/\/api.soundcloud.com\/tracks\/178722319&amp;color=ff5500&amp;auto_play=false&amp;hide_related=false&amp;show_comments=true&amp;show_user=true&amp;show_reposts=false\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" frameborder=\"no\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h5><strong>I actually have a quotation for you about Pop. Prince once said \u00ab\u00a0What\u2019s missing from Pop music is danger\u00a0\u00bb. <\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>Yeah, of course\u00a0! I think there\u2019s no real danger in Pop anymore because the people that run popular culture and popular media have chased it out\u00a0and because it works in their favour. People usually don\u2019t make the connection between society and popular culture but this connection is vital. If you take off the danger in Pop, then people won\u2019t think. That\u2019s the problem with shows like X Factor or The Voice, the only real danger in those shows is if they fall off the stage or if they don\u2019t hit that perfect note (laughing). That\u2019s a shame. We make pop music and never get played on the radio even if we go the radio. We make songs just as melodic and catchy as other people. Our music won\u2019t get played mainly because of what we say rather than the melodies used. Radios are scared of us.<\/p>\n<h5><strong>I read something about the song &#8220;Nest&#8221;. It seemed you were asked by <em>Nestl\u00e9<\/em> to create a kind of jingle but you made fun of them and turned it into something satirical.<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>Yeah, the song as it stands is basically what we meant for them as a jingle.<\/p>\n<h5><strong>And they liked it\u00a0!<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>They loved it\u2026 We sent them the lyrics which deal with what Nestl\u00e9 has done in Africa and parts of Asia with the breastfeeding, telling people to stop. We walked in hospitals with children who still live with deformities from people using water rather than breast milk. It\u2019s one of the most evil thing you can do. So they asked us to make a song and we were instantly like \u00ab\u00a0fuck them, we hate them\u00a0!\u00a0\u00bb and then we sat and thought we could do a song with \u00ab\u00a0baby\u00a0\u00bb repeated over and over and \u00ab\u00a0feed me mama\u00a0\u00bb. We sent them the song and they were like \u00ab\u00a0oh, we love it\u00a0!\u00a0\u00bb\u2026 We were gonna used the money to promote breastfeeding in some parts of Asia where it still happens. They eventually asked to change the production, they wanted to change the music too much and it wasn\u2019t gonna sound good so it never came through. They seemed pretty thick\u00a0!
