Little Comets are heading for the release of their fourth album Worhead with its latest single Common Things.
“I suppose it is semi-autobiographical up to a point as I am quite a simple person and take more from the gaps than the need to fill them,” frontman Robert Coles says. “Me and Mickey (as usual) wrote this one in his garage after Mickey had been playing a really obscure riff, which we adapted for the chorus melody. The verses came later as the need for a narrative became apparent.”
“I think what helped is that the chorus line paints a real picture of what the verses should be about. It was just a case of filling in the bits of the story; which fed from the idea of a couple being satisfied with just the simple things.”
Little Comets tour their new album from next month, opening in Oxford.
