Spector @ Y Not Festival 2022 (Gary Mather for Live4ever)
Spector have been working again with producer Dimitri Tikovoi.
Spector‘s first piece of new music in eighteen months is entitled The Notion.
“We started The Notion on a spare day we had in Liverpool during the Now or Whenever sessions,” Fred Macpherson explains. “It’s been on a real journey since, with Jed coming up with these early Four Tet style guitar loops, which have a really hypnotic feel I love.
Then Dev Hynes came to the studio to hear some stuff and ended up free styling the solo in one take. I was worried he’d blown a speaker at one point. Lyrically it’s kind of a letter to one’s younger self – a reminder that repressing feelings and emotions is a dangerous precedent, and however bad (or good) things get, nothing is forever.
“It interpolates various parties, arguments, depressions and a Star Wars quote for good measure.”
