Cousins
In the middle of the album sessions we did a two-week tour of Mexico
and we had all this time free. We did some tourist stuff but also
booked a studio in Mexico City for two days, which was enough time
to get 'Cousins' done.
It's one of the most bare-bones songs we've ever made -
it's only guitar, bass and drums.
Horchata was a melody that I'd had in my head going way back to when
I was teacher - I remember singing it when I was fixing up my classroom.
It took a long time to grow and become a proper song.
