Deeply shocked to hear about the passing of Andrew Weatherall. He was completely unique and original, and helped forge the sound of contemporary dance music, being one of the first producers to fuse dance and rock, making some of the most innovative records of the '90s. (thread)

Restless - Oh my God. What a session. One take from @qotsa . It had been a long night of drinking and other things!! The idea for Restless was to do something more like Beasties Check Your Head meets UNKLE. That album was a big ref doing this album. #TimsTwitterListeningParty

Mayday - another track recorded at @ranchodelaluna . Originally had Mark Lanegan in mind. When we got back from LA, we had an incomplete album with a lot of tracks but still missing vocals. I started listening to @dukespirit and fell in love with them and @LielaMoss ' voice.
