MW: When you posted the album to YouTube, it clocked up 10,000 views in four or five days. That's pretty
damned good for an unsigned band.

LJ: It's been awesome. Having never intended to bring our music to the stage let alone record it, we were
genuinely surprised that people enjoyed what we were playing, and planning to record was a big thing for
us.

MW: Was the recording process pretty straightforward?

LJ: We asked our friend Theo Milne-Picken from the band Normaliser to record the whole thing in their
rehearsal room. So finally, in summer 2016, two years after we first started jamming, we began recording.
We initially had a few teething problems but managed to get around those. Joe recorded the entire drum
section in 2 days absolutely smashing them out, with me jumping in to play guitar wherever the guide track
was wrong or missing.

MW: What were the highs and lows during this time?

LJ: My personal favourite part of that session was Joe extending the ending of ‘Horror Vacui’ by about 5
minutes as we were jumping up and down waving at him to stop as he was about to overwrite the drums for
the next track. Shortly after that, Regulus, another band I play in with Joe, went into the studio to record our
latest album, so ‘Part I’ got put on hold. Then in the new year, Joe announced he was quitting Deltanaut.

MW: That must have been quite a set-back.
