Surprise Cast #272 Sister Ray Davies

Dear Adam and Jamie, It was great having you on Surprise Cast back in May. I loved our conversation about your UK tour with Chapterhouse—what a “special” experience! It was fascinating to learn about the concept behind the new album, which is clearly inspired by *Holy Island* and its incredible, nuanced history. The music captures the place's atmosphere beautifully. I also enjoyed hearing about that two- to three-week burst of writing inspiration. And I can’t argue with your great taste in music: U2, Slowdive, Ride, Talk Talk, and My Bloody Valentine. Your long standing friendship continues to fuel your creativity and gives you the confidence to try new things without being intimidated by the process. The “Experimental process” seems to be a good friend of yours.
