You really only understand whether a song's good or not when you properly play it out in public for the first time.
Alex Kapranos
Image
Being in a band didn't buy me my beans on toast!

Image
Maybe 'Can't Stop Feeling' and 'Turn It On' we'll just release as singles. It's a thing The Beatles used to do which I really loved, the idea of releasing something as a single completely on its own.

The internet is like a gossipy girls' locker room after school, isn't it?
Alex Kapranos
Image
Why play a chord when you can play one note?
Alex Kapranos

It's very rare that a song falls from your mind complete.

Just because you can leap off a drum kit doing a scissors kick while hitting a chord, people expect you to be an extrovert socially. But I'm not always comfortable with the idea of small talk at a party.

I want to change and try new ideas - allowing your sonic identity to evolve in your music and not being afraid of that. You see musicians hit upon something that works, and then go, Let's keep doing that for 10 years. And that idea kind of terrifies me a little bit. It becomes like a day job then.

Image
Ambition is sneered at by some bands. It seems like a pretty good thing to me.
Alex Kapranos
Image
If success had come along when I was 17 it would either have killed me or sent me completely mad.
Alex Kapranos
Image
Arty. To me the word's got as much venom associated with it as 'wacky'.
Alex Kapranos
Image
You can only begin to be great when you embrace a sense of your own ridiculousness.
Alex Kapranos
Image
Glasgow's not a media center. When you're there, when you're hanging about, you feel quite detached from musical movements or fashions or anything like that. You do feel quite alone, in a good way.
Alex Kapranos
Image
Surely every band wants to be a pivotal point in history.
Alex Kapranos
Image
I want to make music that will make the blood surge in your veins, music that will get people up and dance.
Alex Kapranos
Image
The best songwriting comes from being as creative as you can and editing it down to the good bits, essentially.
Alex Kapranos
Image
Anyone can play an instrument if you show them how to move their limbs, lips or fingers the right way. It's irrelevant. What is relevant is personality, energy, creativity and disturbing sense of humour.

You can't write for the cultural environment - if you do that, by the time it comes out, that cultural environment has passed. You have to be aiming for something that's original - that's the only way you can have any kind of impact.
