When we reached the end of the Three Imaginary Boys period with the three-piece, I was a different person and I wanted to do something different. I thought I'd outgrown that trio.

So I was looking back at other influences and I was drawing on things like Nick Drake, Pink Floyd, and Captain Beefheart.
