“Sick Boy first came to life in early 2013 when Malcolm recorded Jack Schumacher (guitar, bass) and Mitch Ansell (guitar, bass) doing an improvised jam to a programmed drum beat. They played for about 25 minutes. Later on Malcolm went through and found bits and pieces from the jam, then chopped them up, rearranged and constructed totally new riffs into a near complete bed for the song. From there the song was layered with unique ideas from other members, which created the version you hear now.
There was only one rehearsal of this song before we recorded it. A lot of the final parts were ideas that we came up with in the studio once recording began. The film ‘Trainspotting’, which we had been watching whilst on a writing weekend in Daylesford, lyrically inspires the song.”
