about

Charles Watson has known CJ Mirra for a few years now. They live near each other and got to know each other walking our kids through the woods and talking about synths. When the opportunity to collaborate with someone in the borough came up it was a perfect project for them to work together on. They had already worked together when we performed CJ’s beautiful score for Translate at the London Surf Film Festival last year.

“I wrote the song It Must Be Night at home and tried to not play it to CJ so when we got set up, it would be the first time he heard the tune. I guess the nature of the sessions was that we didn’t have loads of time to mess around so we just worked super quickly. I had another song ready but this song felt like I might be able to play the drums on it quickly (I was wrong, my mate Rob overdubbed the drums later). In the absence of a band we just recorded a load of stuff and then deleted most of it later. I like to write alone and then collaborate with musicians/producers while recording. I’m a big fan of arranging songs with other musicians rather than sticking to a definitive structure. I think that's one thing I missed the most this year. Working with lots of other humans is fun.
