Hey there. Who are we speaking to and what instruments do you play?
Hey to you. You’re speaking with James. Mcrobin is my solo project and I play guitar, keys and sing.
Can you tell us a bit about your average rural performance, and what makes these gigs so enjoyable?
I grew up in North-East Victoria, near Mount Buffalo, so I head up that way as often as I can. My favourite rural gigs usually involve a four hour drive, playing music for a few hours to some nice strangers, and then eating my body weight in pizza.
How’s the reception for your new single Concrete Feet been?
I haven’t really written anything this ‘poppy’ before so I was a bit apprehensive about releasing it. I’m really stoked with the response from everyone. It’s a song about having the guts to create your own life, rather than letting yourself be weighed down by conformity.
Have you learnt or grown in the time between releasing your Fault Lines EP and Concrete Feet?
My songwriting has changed a lot in last 12 months; or at least my methods have. Lyrics are rarely the main focus for me, I tend to get my point across better through the music. On this EP, I tried to create the most honest and personal soundscapes I could and trusted the flow of stream of consciousness lyricism to support them.
