Bill: The most difficult is choosing the songs out. We’ve written a lot of songs and took us time. The most difficult thing is to pick out songs to the disc. Which 14, it is in the meantime 14 songs, should be on the disc? Which of them would deserved to be included on the disc? With the “automatic” we have a good feeling. We thought the song would be good as the first on the disc. It is a good entry to the music world our disc consists of.

Tom: A song is never enough to understand the entire disc. If we could we would send out ten songs as singles. so people who like … we have so many facets. You can hear all sorts of different influences in our songs. Our album may not sound too monotonous.

Bill: It was very exciting to make the video. We flew to South Africa and it took five days to record the video. I looked forward to hearing the song when I was driving. Most people also think the song fits well. It has at least something to do with cars. It was cold during the sessions. We had not expected. We had heard that there were tigers, giraffes, and very hot. But it was cold. We recorded in the desert …

Tom: the sun shining ..

Bill: It looks hot. There seemed to be good weather, but we had to have jackets on. But it was fun to record the video.

Bill: We did not try to get it to sound a certain way. It came along the way, while we recorded. There is something more electro in it. It sounds like Tokio Hotel. You can certainly hear that it is us. But we have also tested new things, because we finally had the time to write new songs. We have long been on tour with the old songs, because we later made the English disc. I recorded “monsoon” the first time when I was 14 years old. And we had the song on the tour last year. Therefore, it was weird to finally write new songs. To see in which direction we wanted to go with our music. On the new album, we’re playing not only on guitar, bass and drums, but we have tried to create a whole new sound universe. We have experimented with all the technical possibilities that we have.

Tom: I think it sounds a little ridiculous when bands release a new disc and says: “Now we have become more mature.” Bill’s voice has obviously been a bit deeper, therefore sounds “automatic” a little different, but basically we have made the music we want to create.
