It was only short, someone found it in the new TIME magazine just after the four page spread about Donald Trump.
So what's next for Ekalopse, Pupendai?
"Well Lucy. Can I call you Lucy?"
Sure
"Well Lucy, we're actually not doing anything at the moment. This is actually the longest break we've ever had from music. As you will see from our Soundcloud we still have some very recent material that was released not too long ago."
So no new album?
"Well, those songs are building up to an album, but ultimately we have no plans to work on and finish another album. Unfortunately, Fun but Dead was a bit of a flop for us and so we are taking it real chilled now. The next album is going to be called 'When I forget the Sky' but as I say, we have no plans on finishing it just yet. We'll get back to you on that."
Can you tell me about how you are approaching music differently now than when you started?
"Yeah. Well, in the beginning we just played rubbish in Mr. Bindy's garage and ya know, it was fun. It was very relaxed. But then fame hit us and I murdered Mr. Bindy.......... umm.. ergh yeah I don't like to talk about that. But anyway, after all that calmed down a bit it was just us 2 (The General and Pupendai) working on experimenting with sound and with different musicians. After all those years though I think we may have returned to those garage days. IF we want to make something that sounds well thought out and structures we'll do that, if we want to make a crappy tune with crappy lyrics that matches our feeling of the day then why the **** not?"
Thank you Pupendai, I look forward to hearing from you soon.
"Oh. Before you go. Fun but Dead is definately the most well structured and thought out album of ours! So go have a listen! Our newer stuff is way lazy."
