“Florence’s and my taste in music often overlap in harmonious fashion; we’re both big fans of hip-hop and American indie. But she’s also a big fan of unadulterated pop music, which cuts through me like a knife. I guess it’s the professional musician in her keeping abreast of all the cultural movements. In terms of our own music, though, we are perfectly matched. Florence and I are more interested in modulated electric guitar sounds as opposed to clean playing. Our instrumentation should provide a hearty, austere and forceful support for her voice, which after all is the star of the show.” Rob Ackroyd
