0:04:58 > 0:05:01- It started out - as an experiment with demos.
0:05:02 > 0:05:06- I wanted to see how much I could - record myself and how it sounded.
0:05:06 > 0:05:10- That's why it wasn't originally - released under my name.
0:05:11 > 0:05:15- The aim was to get - a surf rock sound...
0:05:15 > 0:05:19- ..with some psychedelic stuff - thrown in.
0:05:19 > 0:05:23- Do you have - any particular influences?
0:05:23 > 0:05:29- In the Welsh scene, Sen Segur and - Y Niwl have been huge influences.

0:05:45 > 0:05:47- Just trying out different things.
