»I love hearing different intonations in the notes – it’s so boring and predictable to have everything in tune.«
Beat / Your new album is programmatically called „In Arms“. Whom are you in arms against, and why Joan of Arc was an inspirational figure for it?
Cicely / „In Arms“ is both nurturing and maternal but also battle-ready. Making music feels like that: inherently creative but challenging. We kind of feel we have to be armed and ready to keep focused on what we’re trying to say. Jean D’Arc armed herself to fulfil her mission. Sometimes music feels that way. Also, we were in a period of post-pandemic soul searching. Making music comes with challenges – mostly financial! So we really had to dig deep to find a way to keep going.
